The multifaceted dynamics of the game, coupled with the importance of understanding the mathematical probabilities involved with rolling dice, puts many potential players off, with many choosing to simply ignore what is an exciting and social game. Starting from the very basics, let\u2019s take a closer look at craps, lifting the veil on the rules and strategies of this thrilling game to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/how-to-play-craps-2014-4\">help you play like a pro<\/a>.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The basic rules of craps<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the face of it, craps is a relatively simple game with gameplay revolving around players rolling a pair of dice and betting on the outcome. While there is a whole host of different betting scenarios to explain, let\u2019s first go through the basic game pathway:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The<em> \u2018come out roll\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the first move of the game and involves the first player with the dice in their hand, known as <em>the shooter<\/em>, rolling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they roll 7 or 11, then it&#8217;s an instant win, if they roll 2,3 or 12 then it&#8217;s an instant loss. If the sum of the die is any other number, then a <em>point <\/em>is <a>established<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The \u2018<em>point\u2019 <\/em>is established<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>shooter<\/em> must then roll the same number again before they roll 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they succeed, the <em>shooter <\/em>wins and gets to shoot again in another \u2018<em>come out roll.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if they fail and roll 7 before the making the \u2018<em>point\u2019, <\/em>the<em> shooter <\/em>loses, and the dice are handed over to the next player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This, essentially, is how craps works \u2013 it seems simple. So, where does the infamous complexity and mystery surrounding craps come from? For most, it is the range of different bets that can be placed during gameplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Betting on craps<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Pass line<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most popular bet to place when playing craps, the <em>pass line <\/em>bet involves players wagering on the shooter rolling 7 or 11 before 2, 3, or 12. A <em>pass line <\/em>bet is successful if the dice land on 7 or 11 and is unsuccessful if 2,3 or 12 is rolled. If the sum of the dice is any other number, the bet stays active on the craps table until the next <em>point<\/em>. With a house edge of 1.41%, the <em>pass line <\/em>is one of the safest bets to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Don\u2019t pass line<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the inverse of the <em>pass line,<\/em> with players winning when 2 or 3 is rolled and losing on 7 or 11. If 12 falls, the bet is pushed, meaning a player will only win if no other numbers reappear before the 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Come<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the face of it, the <em>come <\/em>bet appears <a>similar to<\/a> the <em>pass line, <\/em>leading to many beginners confusingly asking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/craps-come-bet\/\">what is the craps come bet<\/a>. The difference is that the <em>come<\/em> bet can only be placed after the <a><em>come out<\/em><\/a><em> roll <\/em>once the <em>point <\/em>has been <a>determined<\/a>. Here, a successful bet occurs if a <em>shooter<\/em> lands 7 or 11 before making the <em>point.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Don\u2019t come<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much like the <em>don\u2019t pass line <\/em>bet, the <em>don\u2019t come <\/em>is the reverse of the <em>come <\/em>bet with mirroring rules <a>regarding<\/a> the throw of 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Field<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>field <\/em>bet is a single roll bet that can be placed at any time during the game. A player wins if a 3,4,9,10, or 11 is rolled, while they lose if 5,6,7, or 8 appear. To add even more excitement, a player doubles their winnings on a 2 while tripling them on a 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Odds<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With 0% house edge, these bets are often used when players are looking to play it safe. An <em>odds <\/em>bet can only be placed after a <em>pass line <\/em>or <em>come <\/em>bet has already been put down and a player placing this bet is wagering that the <em>shooter<\/em> will roll 7 before a specific <em>point <\/em>has been thrown.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/pexels-grizzlybear-965879.jpg?resize=1024%2C681&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Photo of Two Red Dice\" class=\"wp-image-188310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/pexels-grizzlybear-965879.jpg?resize=1024%2C681&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/pexels-grizzlybear-965879.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/pexels-grizzlybear-965879.jpg?resize=150%2C100&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/pexels-grizzlybear-965879.jpg?resize=768%2C511&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/pexels-grizzlybear-965879.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Get your dice ready!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>These six betting scenarios are the most popular and effective tools beginners can use to get into the game. However, there are a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Bet-on-Craps\">whole host of additional bets to discover<\/a> as you develop your craps skills. There is no need to fret, though. Learning the bets discussed here allows you to learn the ropes of the game, from which you can then develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Effective betting strategies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If understanding the rules is the first step and getting accustomed to the bets comes next, the last step for <a>new players<\/a> is to learn the different tactical approaches that can be used when at the table. With an abundance of strategies out there, finding the one that suits you best is essential to maximize your winnings and make you <a href=\"https:\/\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/2017\/11\/15\/pay-want-ian-flemings-james-bond-007-humble-comics-bundle\/\">feel like James Bond<\/a> when at the casino. Considering this, let\u2019s approach the game from two differing angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Strategy 1: <\/strong><em>Pass line <\/em>and<em> come <\/em>bets with <em>odds<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considered one of the most foolproof strategies out there, this craps method is ideal for beginners trying to develop their game. By employing this strategy, a player ignores the <em>place, field, and proposition <\/em>betting zones on the craps board, instead focusing on the <em>pass line <\/em>and <em>come <\/em>zones while placing full <em>odds<\/em> to lower the house advantage. While the strategy does not technically increase your chance of being successful with your bet, potential winnings are maximized if 7 or 11 are rolled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Strategy 2: <\/strong>The <em>6-8 <\/em>Strategy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Alternatively, a player can disregard the <em>pass line <\/em>completely, instead using <em>place <\/em>bets to wager on the <em>shooter <\/em>rolling a specific number. Knowing that a <em>place<\/em> bet wins when that number is rolled, a player using this strategy will place bets on either 6 or 8. While <em>place <\/em>bets usually hold a strong house advantage, 6 and 8 are only marginally greater than <em>come <\/em>and <em>pass line <\/em>bets. While more complex than the first, this strategy offers the chance for bigger wins and is something for new players to investigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no denying that craps can be a complex game, but that should not put players off. In fact, the elaborate nature of the game it what keeps it so fresh and exciting. The information outlined here provides all the tools a player needs to uncover the mystery surrounding craps and start enjoying this famous game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting from the very basics, let\u2019s take a closer look at craps, lifting the veil on the rules and strategies of this thrilling game to
