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
Every beginner should exclusively focus on the Pass Line wager when starting out.
You place this bet before the "come-out roll," which is the very first roll of a new round.
Always bet the Pass Line on a new shooterAvoid the complex middle-table propositionsWait for the puck to say "OFF" to bet
Playing After the Come-Out Roll
If any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) is rolled, that number becomes the "Point."
If the shooter successfully hits the Point before a 7, your Pass Line bet wins.
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.
