In order to understand this game more clearly you must take the time to read about the playing rules
and betting options. In general you need to gamble on the outcome of two dice. The first dice throw is
called the Come Out throw, when you want a win by scoring 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12. When you throw 4, 5, 6,
8, 9, or 10 you have a Point and you can throw the dice again.
Both side of the Craps table are identical zones, which are the Pass and
Don't Pass line bets; Come and Don't Come bets; Odds bet; Place bets and Field bets. The place
in the middle is called Proposition Bets.
Winning/losing plays
Pass Bets
/Don't Bets
– When you are at Come Out, you have the decide between Pass Bet (rolling
7 or 11 for a win) or Don't Bet (rolling 2 or 3 for a win). Should you get 12 which is called
a Don't Bets
Tie
,
this allows you
to throw the dice a second time.
Kinds of Craps bets
Pass Line Bet
– A 'Natural Win' is when you have 7 or 11. Conversely, a 'Natural Loss’
(Craps) is when you have 2, 3, or 12. You can make a Come Bet if you fix the Point on the Pass
Line.
Odds on Pass Line Bet
– Once you have fixed the Point, you may take another bet. Should you choose
Come Bet and not Pass Line Bet, you have what is called the Odds on Come Bet
. At this point you can also make a Don't Come Bet.
If this happens, it means you win with 2 or 3 and lose with 7 or 11.
Place Bets
– In this situation you fix the Point and then declare that you will get
4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10.
Field Bets
– In this case, you have to bet everything on one roll and your Winning numbers
are 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 or 12.
Big Six, Big Eight Bets
– This means, for 1:1 odds, that you expect 6 or 8 to appear before 7.
