Basic Rules:
Craps is played with two dice. The game revolves around the shooter, who rolls the dice, and the other players who place bets on the outcome of the roll. Let's break it down step by step:
- Find a spot at the table and place your bets on the Pass Line or Don't Pass Line.
- The shooter will roll the dice for the Come Out roll. If they roll a 7 or 11, the Pass Line bets win. If they roll a 2, 3, or 12, the Don't Pass Line bets win.
- If the shooter rolls any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10), that number becomes the Point.
- Once the Point is established, the shooter will continue rolling until they either roll the Point again (Pass Line bets win) or roll a 7 (Don't Pass Line bets win).
- Keep an eye on the Odds Bets! These additional bets can be placed once the Point is established and offer higher payouts.
Betting Strategies:
Now, let's talk about some betting strategies to maximize your chances of winning:
1. Pass Line Bet:
Place your bet on the Pass Line before the Come Out roll. If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11, you win even money (1:1). If they roll a 2, 3, or 12, you lose. Once the Point is established, you can also place an Odds Bet to increase your potential payout.
2. Don't Pass Line Bet:
This bet is the opposite of the Pass Line. If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11, you lose. If they roll a 2 or 3, you win even money. If a 12 is rolled, it's a push (tie). Once the Point is established, you can place an Odds Bet against the Point.
3. Come Bet:
This bet is placed after the Point is established. If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11, you win. If they roll a 2, 3, or 12, you lose. If any other number is rolled, your bet moves to that number. You can then place an Odds Bet on the new Point.
4. Don't Come Bet:
Similar to the Don't Pass Line, this bet is placed after the Point is established. If the shooter rolls a 7, you win. If they roll the Point number, you lose. If a 2 or 3 is rolled, it's a push. If a 12 is rolled, you win. You can place an Odds Bet against the new Point.
Payouts:
Here are the payouts for some common bets:
- Pass Line Bet: 1:1
- Don't Pass Line Bet: 1:1
- Odds Bet (Point of 4 or 10): 2:1
- Odds Bet (Point of 5 or 9): 3:2
- Odds Bet (Point of 6 or 8): 6:5
