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.
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
Playing After the Come-Out Roll
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
Once a Point is established, you can make an additional wager called "Taking Odds."
Because it pays true mathematical odds, it is the only bet in the casino without a house advantage.
