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.
Conversely, if the dice show a 2, 3, or 12, the bet loses instantly, which is called "crapping out."
- The Pass Line has a very low house edge
- It is the most common bet on the table
- Winning on the come-out roll doubles your money
Establishing and Hitting the Point
Once the Point is set, the objective of the game completely changes for the shooter.
If the shooter successfully hits the Point before a 7, your Pass Line bet wins.
The Best Bet in the Casino
The Odds bet is incredibly special because the casino holds absolutely zero mathematical edge on it.
Taking full odds is the secret strategy used by all professional craps players.
| Bet | House Edge | When to Play |
|---|---|---|
| Pass Line | 1.41% | Come-Out Roll |
| Odds Bet | 0.00% | After Point is Set |
Don't let the noise intimidate you; step up to the table and enjoy the thrill of the dice.
