Craps is a game that might give you a headache if you do not know how to play it. However, this game is quite easy to understand and in no time you will be seeing yourself playing it online or off site casino.

How to play craps is as simple as 1-2-3. Just know the basic rules on how the game is played.

The following are the basic things you must know when it comes to playing craps.

1. The puck.

You see this on top of the table. If the top side is white, it means the game is ongoing and if it is black, it means the game is off or did not start yet. Just a trivia, craps is a round game.

2. The player.

In reality, there is only one player playing the game, he is called “the shooter”. The people that you see surrounding the table are the betters. They are there to bet as to the result of his throw.

3. The game begins.

The sign that the game is starting when the so-called shooter will roll out the dice and it’s the first time of the game. This rolling out of dice is called “come out roll”.

4. Playing the game.

a. For the first roll, if the outcome is either an 11 or 7, then the shooter wins automatically. The shooter will keep the dice and will do a come out roll.

b. If the result for the first roll is a 12, 3 or 2, the shooter loses the game. When the shooter loses, it is called “craps”. He still keeps the dice and do a come out roll.

c. However, if the result is not an 11, 7, 12, 3 or 2, the puck will be turned around showing white which means the game is on.

d. What will happen is that when the shooter rolls the dice, he will then put the puck to the number that corresponds to the outcome. Say for instance, the outcome is 9. The shooter will then place the puck on the square where it has 9 on it. Then, 9 will now become what we call “point”. (more…)

The game of craps is dependent on the roll of a set of dice. The dice are thrown by a shooter on a craps table and it depends on the sum of both dice, which few things can happen: the shooter can lose the game; the shooter can win the game, or the shooter can neither lose nor win and the game continues. Craps all use specific rules and odds; therefore, a craps strategy is necessary if you want to play and win. Keep in mind that craps is played with two dice and that the sum of the dice is the number that counts. All of those combined numbers has their own odds, based on the amount of possible combinations which can make up that number.

Payment in craps is based on odds – the easier to roll a combined number with the pair of dice, the smaller the payout (for example, 6, which can be, combined in quite a few combinations); the difficult to roll a combined number the bigger the payout (for example 2 which can only be combined by having the numbers 1 and 1 on each dice). Playing craps, therefore, means you should know how to play the game, what the odds are and which strategy you are going to employ.

Let’s try this craps strategy: a new shooter is going to make his come out roll. You place a bet on the pass line, and if the shooter possibly rolls a 7 or 11, you win the amount of your bet. You place another bet, again on the pass line, and the shooter makes his second come out roll. If the shooter rolls a 3, you will lose your bet as the player “craps out”. You place another bet on the pass line, and the shooter can make a come out roll (shooters continue rolling until they seven out after making a point). If a 4 is rolled, – a place number or “point” – you can now take an odds bet via placing your bet directly behind the pass line to show you are betting on the odds. The shooter will continue to roll the dice until he rolls a 4. You will then win your original bet on the pass line as well as your odds bet which pays out 2 to 1.

However, if the shooter rolls a 7 before the point number especially number 4 in this case, you will lose both bets. This is the best strategy to follow. Once you have won your bets back, start from the beginning. You place your bet on the pass line, bet on odds if a point is rolled and wait for either a 7 or a point to be rolled. You do not have to confuse yourself with any other complicated strategies to bet on and play scraps. By using the craps strategy as described above, you are playing wisely and conservatively. This way you will have tipped the odds little more towards your favor and less to the house.
