To the uninitiated, the craps table is easily the most intimidating spot on the casino floor.
However, beneath the shouting and flying dice lies one of the most exciting games available.
How to Bet the Pass Line
The core of craps revolves almost entirely around the fundamental Pass Line bet.
If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 on the come-out roll, your Pass Line bet wins immediately.
Roll 7 or 11 to win instantlyRoll 2, 3, or 12 to lose instantlyAny other number establishes a "Point"
What Happens After the Point is Set?
When a Point is established, the dealer places a plastic puck on that specific number.
The shooter must now roll that exact same Point number again before rolling a 7.
The Best Bet in the Casino
Once a Point is established, you can make an additional wager called "Taking Odds."
Because it pays true mathematical odds, it is the only bet in the casino without a house advantage.
