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.
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
Establishing and Hitting the Point
If any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) is rolled, that number becomes the "Point."
The shooter must now roll that exact same Point number again before rolling a 7.
The Best Bet in the Casino
Placing an Odds bet behind your Pass Line wager is mathematically the smartest move possible.
Because it pays true mathematical odds, it is the only bet in the casino without a house advantage.
