Craps can be an intimidating game for the beginner. The table
seems to have about a hundred different kinds of bets.
Critical to the understanding of craps is that it is a game of
rounds. The first roll in a round is called the come out roll.
Sometimes the outcome of a round will be determined on the
come out roll. In particular a 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12 on the come
out roll immediately ends a round. If any other total is
rolled (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) that number is called the point.
The dealer will place a white puck on an area of the table to
designate what the point is, in case you forget. If a point is
rolled the dice will be rolled continuously until the same
point is rolled again or a 7.
Roll
Clicking on the Roll button after placing a bet starts a new
round.
Repeat
Clicking on the Repeat button will repeat all the bets made on
the previous round that can be validly placed now.
Clear
Clicking on the Clear button removes all the bets on the table
that can be removed.
Most bets can be removed, added to, or deducted from at any
time. Exceptions would be the pass and come bets, and you
cannot exceed the maximum bet on the odds.
Table Min/Max
Look here to find the minimum and maximum total of the bets
allowed.
Bet Regions
When moving the cursor over the bet regions a yellow “tag”
will appear that gives the name of the bet, the current amount
placed for that bet, and the minimum and maximum amounts that
can be placed on that bet.
If a green highlight appears in a region, that indicates this
bet can be added to (changed). If a red highlight appears,
this bet cannot be increased (but sometimes can be removed).
To play the game of Craps, place your bets by placing
chips on the Craps table.
Click the casino chip icons to add chips to your hand.
Click the chips in your hand to remove them.
To place a bet, click on the region of the table for the
type of bet you wish to place. The chips in your hand will
be placed on the table. Green areas indicate bets that can
be placed (added to); conversely, red areas indicate bets
that cannot be made.
To remove a bet from the table, right click on the bet.
The amount of chips in your hand will be removed from the
stack on the table.
When you have finished placing bets on the table, click
the Roll button to start the dice rolling.
After the dice come to a rest, losing bets are removed
from the table, and winning bets are paid. For winning
bets, the original bet amount is returned after the
winnings are paid out. Also, any bets that tie (push) are
returned.
If you wish to make the same bets again for the next
roll, press the Repeat Bet button and all of your previous
bets will be placed again (those that can be validly
placed).
All bets have to be made prior to rolling the dice.
The Pass Line
The pass line is the most fundamental bet in craps, almost
every player at the table bets on it. The house edge on the
pass line is only 1.41%, which is not bad compared to most
other bets on the table and other games in the casino.
The pass line is an even money bet. You start by placing your
bet on the pass line area on the table on a come out roll. If
the come out roll is a 7 or 11 you win, which is also called a
“natural”. If the come out roll is a 2, 3, or 12 (craps)
you lose. If any point is rolled on the come out roll if the
point is rolled again before a 7 you win. If a 7 comes before
the point you lose. That is all there is to it. Once you
understand the pass line bet you are ready to play craps. You
may want to practice using fun money a few times before
playing for real money.
Buying the Odds
Have you ever wanted a bet with no house edge? Craps offers
just such a bet, as long as you bet on the pass line first.
Once a point has been thrown you may bet up to some multiple,
usually 2 times, your pass line bet on the 'odds.' The odds
are simply an additional wager that the point will be rolled
before a 7. Because the probability of the point being rolled
first is less than 50% you win more than you bet if it
happens. Specifically if the point is a 6 or 8 the odds pay
6:5, if the point is a 5 or 9 the odds pay 3:2, and if the
point is a 4 or 10 the odds pay 2:1.
The multiple you may bet on the odds is usually twice the pass
line bet for points of 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10.

Don’t Pass
The don't pass is almost the opposite of the pass line bet. If
the come out roll is a 2 or 3 then you win, a 7 or 11 you
lose. A 12 is a push. Otherwise the dice are rolled over and
over until either the point or a 7 is rolled. If the 7 comes
before the point you win.
A person betting on the don't pass is not the wager of choice
by many players, since this bet is betting against the
shooter. This is also called a "wrong" bettor and is
usually winning when everyone else is losing, and vice versa.
The house edge on the don't pass bet is 1.364%.
Laying the Odds
This is the opposite of buying odds, in other words betting
that a 7 will be rolled before the point.
If the point is a 4 or 10 the don't odds pay 1:2.
If the point is a 5 or 9 the don't odds pay 2:3.
If the point is a 6 or 8 the don't odds pay 5:6.
Come
Have you ever become bored waiting for a point to be thrown
and didn't want to waste your money on the sucker bets to
guarantee a money flow on every throw? If so then try the come
bet. It is like the pass line bet but may be made at any time.
Like the pass line bet you might also put money on the odds if
a point is thrown on the first roll after the come bet is
placed and has a house edge of 1.41%.
There is a nuance to the come bet the player should know
about. If a point is thrown and there are still active come
bets on the table waiting for a different point then special
rules apply for the following come out roll. The come out roll
will still apply to active come bets but it will not apply to
their respective odds bets. In the event a come bet is
resolved on a come out roll then the odds bet will be
returned.
A good strategy for the player who likes constant action is to
have a new bet on either the pass line or come on every throw,
and to always take the maximum allowable odds.
This bet is one of the more exciting bets to make in Craps. A
lot of players use this bet to get more numbers working for
them at the same time, six in all.
Don’t Come
What the don't pass is to the pass, the don't come is to the
come. If the shooter rolls a 2 or 3, you win. A 12 constitutes
a tie. You lose on 7 or 11. Any other number is the “come
point”. You win if a seven is rolled before the come point
and lose if the come point is rolled before a 7 is rolled.
The Place Number Bets
In craps the 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10 are known as the
"place numbers." For the player who must have money
on some or all of them immediately they may make certain bets
to cover any place number(s) they desire. These bets work just
like the odds but pay worse odds, with the exception of the
"hard way" bets, which are described below. Like
odds bets on top of come or don't come bets, place number bets
are on during a come out roll. These bets can be removed at
any time.
There is a high price for impatience in craps in the form of a
higher house edge. To further exploit the impatient or
ignorant player there can be two or three different bets on
the exact same thing, and they will all pay different odds.
You might think players would only bet on the option with the
best odds but you would be quite wrong, it is routine to see
players throwing their money away on the higher house edge
versions of the same bet. For example the place bet on 6, the
buy bet on 6, and the big 6 all are betting that a 6 will be
rolled before a 7 but pay 7:6, 24:21, and 1:1 respectively,
for house edges of 1.52%, 4.76%, and 9.09%. Specific
descriptions of the various bets are below.
Big 6: A bet that a 6 will be rolled before a 7. Pays
even money, house edge of 9.09%.
Big 8: same as the Big 6 only that an 8 will be rolled
before a 7.
Buy Bets: This is essentially the same as the place
bet, only with a different payoff. The player may
"buy" any of the points (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10),
which means to bet that the number will be rolled before a 7.
When making a buy bet, you must pay a 4% commission and your
bet will pay fair odds if it wins. Fair odds are 2:1 on the 4
and 10, 3:2 on the 5 and 9, and 6:5 on the 6 and 8. Another
way to look at it is that the buy bet pays 48:25 on the 4 and
10, 36:25 on the 5 and 9, and 144:125 on the 6 and 8. The pay
out on all bets will be rounded down to the nearest quarter.
The house edge on all buy bets is 4.76%.
Hard Ways: There are four different hard way bets. For example
a hard 4 bet is betting that a pair of twos will be rolled
before a 7 or any other way to roll a total of 4. This is
called "the hard way" because it is harder to roll
two twos than a one and a three. Likewise you can bet on a
hard 6, 8, or 10, each of which is a bet that the hard way of
rolling the given number will occur before a 7 or any
"easy" way.
The casino pays 7:1 on a hard 4 or 10 with a house edge of
11.11%.
The casino pays 9:1 on a hard 6 or 8 with a house edge of
9.09%.
Lay Bets: The lay bet is the opposite of the buy bet
and the same as the place bet to lose but with different
paybacks. The lay bets may be placed on the 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or
10. The bet itself is that a 7 will be rolled before the
number you choose. Because the 7 is the most likely number to
be rolled you will wager more than you can win. The player
must pay a 4% commission on the possible winnings and the fair
odds are paid on the bet itself. Fair odds are 1:2 on the 4
and 10, 2:3 on the 5 and 9, and 5:6 on the 4 and 8. Another
way to look at it is that lay bet pays 12:25 on the 4 and 10,
16:25 on the 5 and 9, and 12:15 on the 6 and 8. The house edge
on the 4 and 10 is 2.44%, on the 5 and 9 it is 3.23%, and on
the 6 and 8 it is 4.00%. Note that the house edge on the lay
bet is lower than the place bet to lose on the 4 and 10 only,
if you want to make a lay bet on the 5, 6, 8, or 9 you would
be advised to make a place to lose instead.
Place Bets: This is very similar to laying odds. You
may bet on a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. If the number you bet on is
rolled before a 7 then you win according to payoff schedule
below. Unlike laying odds you don't need to have a pass line
bet, you don't have to bet on the point, but there is a house
edge.
A place bet on 4 or 10 pays 9:5 with a house edge of 6.67%,
you bet $10, win $18
A place bet on 5 or 9 pays 7:5 with a house edge of 4.00%, you
bet $10, win 14
A place bet on 6 or 8 pays 7:6 with a house edge of only
1.52%, you bet $12, win $14
When a place bet wins, you are paid your winnings and your
original bet is returned. You may take back an active place
bet at any time.

Field Bet
A field bet is a one-roll bet. If the shooter rolls a 2, 3, 4,
9, 10, 11 or 12, you win even money with the exception of 2
which pays 2:1 or 12, which pays either 2:1 or 3:1. Please see
below for more explanation on field bets under Proposition
Bets.
The Proposition Bets
Proposition bets either win or lose on the next throw. In
general these have the highest house edge of all the craps
bets and for the player with any sense are to be avoided
completely. Specific descriptions of the various bets are
below.
Craps 2:
A bet that a 2 will be thrown on the next roll. Pays 30:1.
House edge 13.89%.
Craps 3:
A bet that a 3 will be thrown on the next roll. Pays 15:1.
House edge 11.11%.
7:
A bet that a 7 will be thrown on the next roll. Pays 4:1.
House edge 16.67%.
11:
A bet that an 11 will be thrown on the next roll. Pays 15:1.
House edge 11.11%.
Craps 12:
A bet that a 12 will be thrown on the next roll. Pays 30:1.
House edge 13.89%.
Any Craps:
A bet that the next roll will be a 2, 3, or 12. Pays 7:1.
House edge 11.11%.
Field Bet:
This is a one time bet that the next roll will be a
2,3,4,9,10,11, or 12. The 3,4,9,10, and 11 pay even money. The
2 pays 2:1. The 12 usually pays 3:1 but some tight casinos
only pay 2:1. If the 12 pays 2:1 the house edge is 5.56%, if
the 12 pays 3:1 the house edge is 2.78%. On the surface this
seems like a great bet because 7 numbers win and only 4 lose.
However the 4 that lose are much more likely to be rolled.
