Craps is an exciting, fast-paced, action-packed game utilizing a pair of dice. Here are some basics to get you started shooting craps.
One player, known as the “shooter,” throws the dice. All wagers must be placed before the shooter throws the dice. The types of wagers that can be made are:
An even-money bet, made before the “come-out” roll (the first roll), you win on a natural 7 or 11, or lose on “craps” (2, 3 or 12). Any other number rolled is your “point” and you must throw your point again before a 7 to win. Continue reading Opposite of the Pass Line. You lose on natural 7 or 11 on the first roll. You win on 2 or 3 (12 is a tie). You lose after the first roll if the shooter makes his/her point. You win after the first roll if the shooter rolls a 7 before making their point. Continue reading Made any time after the first roll when a shooter has a point to make. You win on natural 7 or 11 and lose on craps (2, 3 or 12). Any number that comes up is a “come point” and must be thrown before a 7 is thrown. Continue reading Opposite of the come bet, except that a first roll of 2 or 3 wins, 12 is a tie, and you lose on natural 7 or 11. Any other number thrown is the “come point” and you lose if the come point is made before a 7 is thrown. Continue reading Once a shooter makes a point, you may make a “place bet” on numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10. If the shooter rolls any of these numbers before a 7, you win the following payoffs: 9-to-5 on 4 and 10, 7-to-5 on 5 and 9 and 7-to-6 on 6 and 8. A “place bet” may be taken off anytime before the next roll. Continue reading A lay bet is a wager than a seven will be rolled before the number you are betting against (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10). Because the 7 is the most likely number to be rolled you will wager more than you can win. The player must usually pay a 5% commission on the possible winnings, otherwise fair odds are paid on the bet itself. For example, to lay bet of $125 on a 6 would win $100 if a 7 were rolled before a 6. Fair odds would require only a $120 bet to win $100, but the player must add 5% as a commission to make the bet. The following table shows the house edge for each lay bet. Continue reading A 1-roll bet. You win even money on 3, 4, 9, 10, and 11. You win 2-to-1 on 2. You win 3-to-1 on 12. You lose on 5, 6, 7, or 8. Continue reading You win if the number comes up exactly as on the table and lose if the number comes up any other way or if a 7 is thrown. Continue reading 1-roll bets. 2 or 12 pays 31-for-1. “Any craps” (2, 3 or 12) pays 8-for-1. 3 or 11 pays 16-for-1. If you are to pick any combination to bet on one roll they pay as follows. Any non-hardway number pays like a 3 or 11, and any hardway number pays like a 2 or 12. Continue reading Hop Bets are placed at the boxman’s discretion somewhere above the prop bets and to the side of the place bet/come bet area. Definition: Hop bets are proposition bets but I gave them their own page for clarity. Whatever combination … Continue reading Certain terminology applies when playing the game of craps. I set up this glossary to help you learn the “Craps” language more easily. Continue reading
