Strategies & Tips - Craps, A Fun & Exciting Game
Craps players do have the most fun. They are constantly cheering
and laughing and it doesn't seem to matter what the outcome is.
They just love to play. Regardless if you are up or down, in the
end one thing is for sure, Craps is the most exciting game you'll
play at a casino.
With all of this being said, Craps is also very intimidating especially
for the first timer. The table is large, the crowds are big, the
bet options are numerous and even the terminology can sound foreign.
All these factors can easily mislead the beginner player into thinking
this isn't the game for them. Here are some helpful hints and a few
strategies, tips and tricks for playing the exciting game of Craps.
Basic Craps terms:
Come
Out Roll - This is the first Roll of a new game. It occurs
either after the point has been made or when a new shooter is rolling.
Pass Line - This is an even money wager, and
is placed prior to the Come Out roll. You win automatically if
a 7 or 11 is rolled and you lose if the shooter rolls a 2, 3, or
12. Any other number rolled is marked as the 'point', and this
number must be repeated before a seven to win.
Don't Pass -
Similar to the Pass Line, only you win if a 2 or 3 is rolled
and you tie if the shooter rolls a 12. If a 7 or 11 is rolled
you lose. The "point" is
established in the same way only this time you are betting that
the shooter will roll a 7 before this number turns up.
Come Bet - This bet is made after the Come Out
roll. The same rules apply to this bet as do to the Pass Line bet.
This wager occurs on the next roll after you have placed the bet.
Whatever number is rolled next will be the number you are wagering
on.
Don't Come - Also placed after the Come Out
roll. The only difference here is that the rules applied for this
bet are the same as those for a Don't Pass wager.
Odds Bet - This wager is only applicable to
players who have made at least one of the following bets; Pass
Line, Don't Pass Line, Come Bet or Don't Come Bet. Odds bets simply
backup your existing wager and payout differently depending on
the outcome. See the game rules for full payout odds.
Field Bets - This bet can be made at anytime
and the player wins even money if a 3, 4, 9, 10 or 11 is rolled.
If the shooter rolls a 2 or 12 the player wins double their wager.
If any other number is rolled (5, 6, 7 or 8) the player loses.
Place Bets - The Place Bets are only for the
following numbers; 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10. If you wager on one of
these numbers and it is rolled before a 7 you win the Place Bet
odds for that number, see game rules for full odds information.
