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
The Pass Line bet is the foundation upon which the entire game of craps is built.
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"
Playing After the Come-Out Roll
When a Point is established, the dealer places a plastic puck on that specific number.
If a 7 is rolled before the Point, the bet loses, and the round is completely over.
The Best Bet in the Casino
The Odds bet is incredibly special because the casino holds absolutely zero mathematical edge on it.
Because it pays true mathematical odds, it is the only bet in the casino without a house advantage.
