How to Play Craps

Craps is an exciting game that allows you to bet with a shooter or against a shooter.  In order to shoot the dice, (personally rolling the dice), you must make a bet on either the pass line or the don't pass line.  These areas are clearly marked on the craps table.  You may place these bets at any time before the dice are rolled.

A Pass Line... When you put your money on the Pass Line and the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 on the first roll of the dice, you win.  However, if the shooter rolls a 2, 3 or 12 (Craps), you lose.  If any other number comes up, (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10), it becomes the shooter's point. The shooter must roll that point again, before a 7, in order to win. If the point is rolled, you will be paid the amount of your Pass Line bet.

B Don't Pass Line... When you bet the Don't Pass Line, the reverse of the Pass Line occurs.  You lose if a 7 or 11 is rolled on the first roll and win if 3 or 12 is rolled. However, if a 2 shows up, it is a push (tie).  If a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 is rolled, it becomes the front-line point.  In order for your Don't Pass line wager to be a winner, the shooter must roll a 7 before rolling that point again. Should a 7 be rolled first, you will win your Don't Pass bet.

C Come... After a point has been established, you may make a Come bet. This area is also clearly defined on the craps table layout.  You may bet this any time after the first roll. When you bet the Come Line, you win if the next roll is a 7 or 11.

You lose if the next roll is a 2, 3 or 12. If any other number is rolled (4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10), your bet is moved about number.  Should a 7 roll before your number, you lose. However, if your number rolls before a 7 is rolled, you win the amount you bet on the Come Line.

Craps Systems

Systems for craps gambling are numerous. Unfortunately, they are often not based on logic or mathematical probabilities. One would be wise to be skeptical about any craps system that promised consistent winning.  Of course, some betting patterns in the craps game have much greater probability than others.  It would be wise to consider the actual odds of the dice, and the percentage paid for the wager to calculate the more advantageous craps betting methods.
