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.
Conversely, if the dice show a 2, 3, or 12, the bet loses instantly, which is called "crapping out."
- The Pass Line has a very low house edge
- It is the most common bet on the table
- Winning on the come-out roll doubles your money
Playing After the Come-Out Roll
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."

Always maximize your Odds bet up to the table limit to reduce the overall house edge.
| Roll | Outcome (Pass Line) | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 7 or 11 | Win | Take Payout |
| 4,5,6,8,9,10 | Point Set | Place Odds Bet |
Don't let the noise intimidate you; step up to the table and enjoy the thrill of the dice.
