Casino Craps
Betting on rolls of the dice. The complexity of betting is what confuses most people.
Four. The dealer in the middle (the croupier) calls the dice and handles them with a stick. Dealers at opposite ends of the table handle betting and payouts. The "box man" stands/sits across from the croupier, oversees all betting, and handles the bulk of the house's money.
Place a die on a flat surface. Look at the number showing on top. Now turn the die upside down. The first number plus this second number will always equal what total? | Basics of Casino Craps

7. Seven is the most loved and feared number on a craps table. There are more statistical possibilites of seven being rolled than any other number.
5, 6, 7, 8. Considered by many to be a "sucker bet", the field does not include the most likely numbers to be thrown (6, 7, 8).
First roll of the dice in a round. When the dice are passed to a shooter, the first roll is "coming out!"
If you place a "pass line" bet you are betting for the shooter. Which numbers are immediate winners for a pass line bet on the come out roll? | Basics of Casino Craps

7 and 11. For a pass line bet on the come out roll: 7 and 11 win, any number in the come (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) will become the "point", and any craps number (2, 3, 12) will be an automatic loser. The opposite is true for a "don't pass" bet. This is when you are betting against the shooter. On the come out roll you hope craps is rolled instead of 7, 11, or a point. After an established point, you hope 7 will be rolled instead of the point.
6. The come numbers are: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10. Place a bet on the word "come". Upon the next roll, any come number thrown will become your "come-point". All come bets remain on the table until you win or until 7 is rolled.
Any number in the come. Upon the come out roll, any come number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) will become the point. The object is for the shooter to throw that number again before they roll 7.
7. "Sevens out!" is not a pretty phrase (for some players). The dice are then passed to the next shooter (to the left of the previous shooter) and the process begins again.
You can make a "place" bet on any of the come numbers. What numbers can you place this bet on? | Basics of Casino Craps
|
4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10. Place bets are the same as come bets except they can be bet before the come out roll, play without a come-point, and pay less money.
