To the uninitiated, the craps table is easily the most intimidating spot on the casino floor.
Once you understand the basic mechanics, it quickly becomes the most thrilling game in the house.
Understanding the Pass Line Bet
Every beginner should exclusively focus on the Pass Line wager when starting out.
You place this bet before the "come-out roll," which is the very first roll of a new round.
Always bet the Pass Line on a new shooterAvoid the complex middle-table propositionsWait for the puck to say "OFF" to bet
Playing After the Come-Out Roll
If any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) is rolled, that number becomes the "Point."
If a 7 is rolled before the Point, the bet loses, and the round is completely over.
The Best Bet in the Casino
The Odds bet is incredibly special because the casino holds absolutely zero mathematical edge on it.
Always maximize your Odds bet up to the table limit to reduce the overall house edge.
