Basic Craps BetsNo other element of craps rules is nearly as important as the game’s betting structure. And truly learning craps entails learning what each bet means and what its odds are. If you’ve read the above sections and are still wondering, “How do you play craps?” you can rest easy knowing all will be revealed below; because understanding craps bets is so essential to learning how to play craps we’ve made explaining them the real meat of our “Craps Rules” section. So what's all this talk about “Pass” and “Don't Pass”? These are the two most basic craps bets, and it’s necessary you understand what they are if you want to learn craps. Placed before each round begins, Pass bets predict that the shooter will roll a 7 or 11 on the come out roll or that he will hit the point before the 7 after the come out roll. Don't Pass bets predict the opposite: The shooter will roll a 2 or 3 in the come out or won’t roll the point before he rolls a 7. Most other craps rules are actually very similar to the Pass/Don't Pass wagers. A “Come” bet is basically a Pass bet repeated in the second part of the round. Players again hope for a 7 or 11 and, failing this, a second “Come” point is established. Alternatively, “Don't Come” bettors want a second roll of a 2 or 3 and only win if a 7 is hit before the Come point. It is important to note that Pass/Line and Come/Don't Come craps bets usually have different points. When most people learn craps, Come/Don’t Come and Pass/Don’t Pass bets, called “line bets,” are about as far as they get. But here at casinocompetitionforwisconsin.com we urge you to learn all the rules of craps – not just the easy ones. How else, after all, can you expect to learn how to play craps? As far as the remaining bets go, the rules of craps are pretty straightforward: Besides the line bets, you’ll notice several other propositions on your average craps table. These are called “single-roll” bets because, well, they only apply to a single roll of the dice. Because single-roll bets have worse odds than line bets most players avoid them. But, as we said, learning craps rules entails answering the question “How do you play craps?” to its fullest, so we’ve whipped up a little chart explaining the name of each bet and how it works. |
