Playing the Game
Playing Craps can be as simple or as complicated as
you choose to make it. There are an extensive array of betting options
available but the player only needs to understand a few of them
to play the game, have fun and win. Craps is a game of dice. The
player is betting on which numbers the next roll of the dice will
produce (or won't produce.)
In its simplest form the player (called the shooter)
will place a bet on the PASS LINE (or on the Don't Pass Line) and
try to roll a SEVEN or an ELEVEN. If the shooter succeeds the bet
will pay even money and the shooter can make another bet. This first
roll is called the COME OUT roll. Should the player fail to roll
a seven or eleven then a POINT is established on the number of the
value of the dice rolled. Once a point is established the shooter's
object is to roll the same number again before the next seven is
rolled. If a seven is rolled the shooter looses his bet. Once a
point has been established the shooter can not remove his bet from
the table. While the shooter is trying to make the point he can
add extra bets to the table. Types of Bets The Pass Bet This is
a bet that the shooter will throw a 7 or 11 on the come-out roll
or, alternatively, that the shooter will make the point before the
next 7 is rolled. The Don't Pass Bet
This is the opposite of the PASS BET. This bet is
placed against the shooter and wins if craps (2, 3 or 12) is thrown
on the come-out roll or if the shooter fails to make the point.
If a 12 is thrown, the bet ties. The Come Bet
This bet is similar to the pass bet but cannot be
made on the come-out roll. Traditionally the Come and Don’t Come
bets are available to allow players just joining the table to take
part in the action immediately, instead of having to wait for the
shooter to make or miss the point. The Don't Come Bet
Again, this bet is similar to the DON'T PASS BET,
but can not be made on the come-out roll. Odds Bet
This is an additional bet made on a PASS, DON'T PASS,
COME or DON'T COME BET that has already been placed. ODDS BETS can
only be made once the POINT has been established. The advantage
of an Odds bet is that it is paid out at the correct odds. Win Bet
This bet can be made on the following numbers: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and
10. It is a bet that the relevant number will be rolled BEFORE a
seven is rolled. Lose Bet This bet can be made on the following
numbers: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10. It is a bet that a seven will be
rolled BEFORE the relevant number comes up. Field Bet This is a
bet on the outcome of the next throw. It pays even money if a 3,
4, 9, 10 or 11 are rolled and pays 2 to 1 if a 2 or 12 are rolled.
Hardways Bet This bet can be made on a 4, 6, 8 or 10. It is a bet
that the relevant number will be rolled in its double form (i.e.
2 dice showing 4 would be HARDWAY 8) BEFORE a seven AND before that
number is rolled in any other combination. Any Seven This is a bet
on the outcome of the next throw. It pays 5 for 1 (4 to 1) if a
seven is rolled in the next throw. Any Craps This is a bet on the
outcome of the next throw. It pays 8 for 1 (7 to 1) if a 2, 3 or
12 is rolled in the next throw. Craps Two This is a bet on the outcome
of the next throw. It pays 30 to 1 if a 2 is rolled in the next
throw. Craps Twelve This is a bet on the outcome of the next throw.
It pays 30 to 1 if a 12 is rolled in the next throw. Craps Three
This is a bet on the outcome of the next throw. It
pays 15 to 1 if a 3 is rolled in the next throw. Eleven This is
a bet on the outcome of the next throw. It pays 15 to 1 if an 11
is rolled in the next throw. Horn This is a single roll bet on any
craps (2, 3 or 12) and 11. Odds are paid out accordingly. Big 6
and Big 8 These are a bet that the appropriate number (6 or 8) will
be rolled before the next seven. It pays even money. |
