There are so many people out there that want to over complicate the game of craps. Craps is the simplest game in the casino, the thing that complicates it is all of the different varieties of bets. Once you have mastered all of these bets, you will be a craps pro in no time at all. Let’s go over a couple of tips that are going to greatly improve your craps game, whether you’ve never played before, or are at an intermediate level.
The first roll of the game is the comeout roll. The comeout roll will determine a couple of things for the rest of the game.
The shooter wins automatically if they roll a 7 or 11.
The shooter loses automatically if they roll a 2, 3, or 12.
The point number is determined if the shooter rolls a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10. The shooter will continue to roll the dice until the point number is rolled again or a 7 is rolled. If the point number is rolled first then the shooter will keep rolling until a 7 is rolled.
Your job, if you’re not the shooter, is to place bets on all of these rolls. If you are the shooter you will be placing your bets on the pass line.
