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.
How to Bet the Pass Line
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."
- The Pass Line has a very low house edge
- It is the most common bet on the table
- Winning on the come-out roll doubles your money
What Happens After the Point is Set?
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
The Odds bet is incredibly special because the casino holds absolutely zero mathematical edge on it.
Always maximize your Odds bet up to the table limit to reduce the overall house edge.
| Roll | Outcome (Pass Line) | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 7 or 11 | Win | Take Payout |
| 4,5,6,8,9,10 | Point Set | Place Odds Bet |
By sticking to the basic Pass Line and Odds bets, you will play like a seasoned professional.
