CRAPS BETTING
- Pass Bet
The most simple bet you can make is called a Pass Bet. Look at the image of a craps table. You will see a line called a Pass Line. This is where the Pass Bet is placed before the Come Out Roll.
As mentioned before, right now your betting that the shooter will get the same point again before rolling a 7. If you win, the payout is 1 to 1. That is, if you bet $5 you get $5. When you're betting on the Pass Line, you're betting on the person rolling the dice. If they win, everybody else that bet on the Pass Line wins. If the roller loses, they lose as well. If the roller's first throw is a 7 or 11 everybody wins. If the first a 2, 3 or a 12, everybody loses. If they hit any other number, that is, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10, these will be marked as Point numbers.
Say the roller got a 6 point on their first throw. They have to get another 6 before they get a 7. Experts make most of their money with taking odds out of the pass line bets placed at the craps table. With a little experience, anyone can do that.
If you think that the roller will get a 7 or 11, you can place a come bet. The difference is that you place the bet right before their roll. If their next roll after you've placed your bet is a 7 or 11, you win. The opposite of the Pass Line is the Don't pass bar. If the roller hits a 2 or 3, you win. A 12 is a tie for both.
- Bets on points
Another way to make bets at the craps table is to place bets on points. That is, you can bet the number you think will hit before a 7 comes. There is usually a minimum bet for each number, higher for 6 and 8 because there are more odds of hitting a 6 or 8. You can make these bets at any time and also take them down at any time.
In the corners of the table there is a special place for a fun bet, the 6 or 8 bets, similar to place bets, you win if a 6 or 8 comes before a 7 does. Another fun bet, especially recommended to beginners, is the field bet.
Take a look at the image of a craps table to see how it looks like. With a field bet, you're betting that one of these numbers will come right the next time the roller throws the dice: 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 and 2 and 12 pay double.
