Mastering The Game Of Casino Craps

To the uninitiated, the craps table is easily the most intimidating spot on the casino floor.


Despite its complex appearance, the fundamental rules of craps are surprisingly straightforward.

The Most Important Craps Bet

The Pass Line bet is the foundation upon which the entire game of craps is built.


You place this bet before the "come-out roll," which is the very first roll of a new round.

The Pass Line has a very low house edgeIt is the most common bet on the tableWinning on the come-out roll doubles your money
What Happens After the Point is Set?

Once the Point is set, the objective of the game completely changes for the shooter.


The shooter must now roll that exact same Point number again before rolling a 7.

Taking Odds Behind the Line

Placing an Odds bet behind your Pass Line wager is mathematically the smartest move possible.


Always maximize your Odds bet up to the table limit to reduce the overall house edge.
