<br>If you walk onto a casino floor, it is usually incredibly easy to locate the Craps pit; just follow the noise.<br>
|
||||
<br>Adding to the stress, there are four different casino employees managing the game, shouting commands and moving stacks of money at lightning speed.<br>
|
||||
<br>This is a massive mistake, because beneath the chaotic surface, Craps actually offers some of the absolute best mathematical odds in the casino.<br>
|
||||
<br>In this article, we are going to completely demystify the game of Craps for the absolute beginner.<br>
|
||||
The Foundation: The Pass Line Bet and the Come-Out Roll
|
||||
<br>To play Craps flawlessly, you only need to understand one single bet: The Pass Line.<br>
|
||||
<br>On this initial Come-Out Roll, there are only three possible outcomes that immediately affect your Pass Line bet.<br>
|
||||
<br>A 7 or 11 on the Come-Out Roll is an instant winner for the Pass Line. The dealer will pay you even money (1 to 1) on your bet immediately.<br>
|
||||
<br>Rolling Craps on the Come-Out roll is an instant loser for the Pass Line. The dealer will sweep your chips away, and you must place a new bet for the next roll.<br>
|
||||
<br>The dealer will take a large, physical plastic puck (which is white on one side and black on the other) and place it directly on that number on the layout, white side up.<br>
|
||||
The Goal of the Game: Chasing the Point
|
||||
<br>The entire goal of the table is for the shooter to roll the Point number (an 8) again BEFORE they roll a 7.<br>
|
||||
<br>If the shooter rolls a 4, 9, 10, or 2, absolutely nothing happens to your Pass Line bet; the game just continues, and the shooter rolls again.<br>
|
||||
<br>Once the Point is established, the number 7 transforms from your best friend into your absolute worst enemy.<br>
|
||||
<br>The dealer sweeps all the chips off the table, the shooter passes the dice to the next player in line, and the game resets.<br>
|
||||
<br>The House Edge on the Pass Line bet is an incredibly low 1.41%, making it one of the absolute best bets in the entire casino.<br>
|
||||
The Best Bet in the Casino: The Free Odds Bet
|
||||
<br>Once a Point is established, the casino allows you to place an additional wager directly behind your original Pass Line bet (outside the printed line).<br>
|
||||
<br>The Odds bet is the ONLY bet in the entire casino that carries a 0.00% House Edge.<br>
|
||||
<br>If the Point is 5 or 9, the true odds are 3 to 2. The Odds bet pays exactly 3 to 2.<br>
|
||||
<br>To take advantage of this incredible mathematical anomaly, professional players always keep their initial Pass Line bet as low as possible (the table minimum).<br>
|
||||
<br>Never play Craps without taking Odds. It is the smartest, most mathematically sound decision you can make in any casino on earth.<br>

The Secret Bet: The Odds bet has a 0% House Edge. Always take the maximum odds the casino allows.
|
||||
The Golden Rule: Stick to the Pass Line and the Odds. Let the tourists throw their money away in the middle of the table.
