How to Play Craps - Simple Rules and Explanation of Playing Craps,Online and Casino.
Craps is a casino game that,although based on the English card game Hazard,is not really played much outside of America,and most Europeans only encounter the game in old films where the noisy and wild aspect of the game makes good theatre.
However Craps is now a game we can all play online and increasingly in real casinos,so we had better have a look at the rules and betting options.
Craps is a dice game,betting on one or a series of dice throws of 2 dice,and you can bet with or against other players,or for and against the house or bank.
What options do you have to bet on ? - well loads of betting options! - just take a look at the Craps layout and you can see what i mean.
So many in fact that most players stick to one or two betting strategies and become aware and skilled in that particular niche of Craps betting.
Pass Line Bet.
The Most Popular Bet on Craps Table - Low Casino House Edge,Evens when playing online Craps.
As said before there are multi betting positions at Craps,but you can play just this one and enjoy your time at the Craps table (most other betting markets on Craps are considered mugs bets).
Get chips to play with if in the casino,or select bets if playing online - due the speed of the game,the minimum bet at Craps is usually quite low and punter friendly - usually about $5.
Everybody round the table gets involved in Craps play as each player takes it in turn to roll the dice,and everybodys cash wealth depends on that one player who throws the dice (by the way you can decline to roll those dice and just pass it on to the next player after you if you so wish).
Everybody loves a "lucky or hot" player at Craps and the player keeps control of the dice until they "seven out" that is throwing a total of 7,they then lose and next player gets hold of the dice.

Pass Line bet procedure .................... You are betting that player wins......................puck moves to OFF,we are ready to play................place your wager on Pass Line sector of layout................the dice are rolled,this is The Come Out Roll................get 7 or 11 now,you win..........................get 2,3, or 12 ,you have lost your bet................................a 4,5,6,8,9 or 10 creates a "point" situation........................if the "point" roll is for example,9,the player rolls again,as many times as it takes..........................if the player gets that 9,they play on............................if the player rolls a 7 before getting that 9,the bet is lost - you are "seven out" and relinquish the dice.
Do not Pass Line bet.......................................This time you are betting that player will NOT be successful............................this time a 7 or 11 makes you a loser.................this time a 2 or 3 makes you a winner............................this time the 12 creates a tie or "push" situation..........................the "point" target roll now wins for you if a 7 is rolled as you are betting no success for player.
There are dozens of other bets and propositions you can make when playing Craps,but non will offer you better odds than the Pass Line.option,and suggest you stick to that bet only,but by all means check out the other bets and see if any appeal to you as a profitable angle or entertainment value.
Rules,odds and bets may vary slightly when playing online Craps,but all casinos I have visited match the Pass Line odds of evens,which to emphasise again,particularly if you are new to the game is the best option for you to enjoy,and maybe show a nice profit,when playing Craps online or in the casino.
