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.
The Most Important Craps Bet
The Pass Line bet is the foundation upon which the entire game of craps is built.
If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 on the come-out roll, your Pass Line bet wins immediately.

Establishing and Hitting the Point
Once the Point is set, the objective of the game completely changes for the shooter.
If the shooter successfully hits the Point before a 7, your Pass Line bet wins.
Maximizing Your Craps Winnings
The Odds bet is incredibly special because the casino holds absolutely zero mathematical edge on it.
Always maximize your Odds bet up to the table limit to reduce the overall house edge.
