To the uninitiated, the craps table is easily the most intimidating spot on the casino floor.

Despite its complex appearance, the fundamental rules of craps are surprisingly straightforward.

The Most Important Craps Bet

The core of craps revolves almost entirely around the fundamental Pass Line bet.

You place this bet before the “come-out roll,” which is the very first roll of a new round.

• 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?

Once the Point is set, the objective of the game completely changes for the shooter.

The shooter must now roll that exact same Point number again before rolling a 7.

The Best Bet in the Casino

Once a Point is established, you can make an additional wager called “Taking Odds.”

Because it pays true mathematical odds, it is the only bet in the casino without a house advantage.

By sticking to the basic Pass Line and Odds bets, you will play like a seasoned professional.
