To the uninitiated, the craps table is easily the most intimidating spot on the casino floor.
However, beneath the shouting and flying dice lies one of the most exciting games available.
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."
Roll 7 or 11 to win instantlyRoll 2, 3, or 12 to lose instantlyAny other number establishes a "Point"
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.
