You need to study the betting variations and rules first, otherwise Craps can prove to be a confusing game for you. Each player throws the dice in turn. On the first throw, the Come Out roll, you win when the dice shows 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12. If you have 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, this means you have a Point and you should roll again.

There are two side areas on The Craps table is designed with two side areas (mirrors of one another) that have the following names: Pass and Don't Pass line bets; Come and Don't Come bets; Odds bet; Place bets and Field bets. In the center of the table you'll find a place a Proposition bet, where you can make a Proposition bet.

Winning/losing plays

Pass Bets / Don't Bets - If your first roll in a Come Out bet is 7 or 11, you win. 2, 3, or 12 are losers in Pass Bet. Don't Bet is easier because you can win with 2 or 3 and lose by rolling 7 or 11. At least if 12 lands, you get to roll again - the Don't Bets Tie.

Types of bets

Pass Line Bet - A Natural Win means rolling a 7 or 11 and so Natural Loss (also called Craps) means rolling 2, 3, or 12. , that's a Natural Loss or Craps. A Come Bet means that you have betted only after having fixed the Point on the Pass Line.

Odds on Pass Line Bet - If you roll a Point you can take odds with a second bet. Should you decide to gamble on the Come Bet and not the Pass Line bet, you have an Odds on Come Bet . Alternatively you can have a Don't Come Bet , where you win on 2 or 3 and lose on 7 or 11.

Place Bets - This is the name of the bet after you fix the Point and roll 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10.

Field Bets - For the true Craps gambler, its All or Nothing on one dice roll: a win is 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12.
