If you walk onto any physical casino floor, the loudest and most energetic area is almost always the Craps table.
+
The energy is infectious, drawing crowds of spectators eager to watch the "shooter" roll the dice.
+
However, to an absolute beginner, the Craps table looks incredibly intimidating and hopelessly complicated.
+
The truth is that while the table looks complex, the core game is actually very simple to understand and play.
+
Let's demystify the Craps layout and teach you how to make the smartest bets on the board.
+How a Round of Craps Actually Works +
Every round of Craps begins with what is called the "Come-Out" roll, performed by the designated "shooter."
+
This first roll dictates the direction of the game, either resulting in an instant win/loss or establishing a target number.
+
Once the Point is established, the dealer places a large white puck labeled "ON" above that number on the table.
+
The shooter keeps throwing the dice repeatedly; rolling the Point is a victory for the table.
+
The tension builds as the shooter tries to hit the Point while actively avoiding the dreaded 7.
+The Best Bets: Pass Line and Don't Pass +
You can ignore 90% of the table layout; the smartest place to start is the prominent Pass Line.
+
If the Come-Out roll is a 2, 3, or 12 (called "Crapping out"), your Pass Line bet loses instantly.
+
If any other number is rolled, it becomes the Point, and your bet stays on the Pass Line.
+
The Don't Pass bet is the exact opposite: you win on a Come-Out 2 or 3, and win if a 7 rolls before the Point.
+
For your first time, stick to the Pass Line to enjoy the communal excitement and camaraderie of the game.
+How to Lower the House Edge to Zero +
After the Point is set, you are allowed to place an additional wager directly behind your Pass Line bet.
+
Because the payout perfectly matches the probability, over the long run, this bet breaks exactly even.
+
For example, if the Point is 4, the true odds of rolling a 4 before a 7 are 2 to 1.
+
Most casinos allow you to place Odds bets equal to 3x, 4x, or even 5x your original Pass Line wager.
+
If you are unsure how much you can bet, simply ask the dealer, "What are the max odds?" and they will gladly assist you.
