PASS BETS
This is a bet that is placed on the Pass Line before the Come Out roll.
You will be on the chance that you will roll the Point again before you roll an
Out 7.
Pass bets win at even odds, 1:1.
Since any Pass bets usually are betting with the shooter, Pass bettors are said
to be betting "right", as you are betting that the shooter will win.
To win with a pass bet - you will win on the Come Out roll if the dice show 7
or 11. Win on any subsequent roll if you roll the Point
To lose with the pass bet - you will lose on the Come Out roll if the dice are
Craps (2, 3, or 12). Lose on any subsequent roll if it is an Out 7
The term come bets and do not come bets are the same as pass and don't pass
bets, just that they use different terms. These are also the terms used for bets
that are placed while the game is going on. Online you most likely do not have
this bet just the pass bet and do not pass bet.
THE DON'T PASS BET
The don't pass bet is just the opposite of a pass bet, but you are betting
against the shooter, against the player, that the shooter won't be able to
make the numbers on the dice that he or she wants. And the odds on the - don't
pass bets are good too!
To win on the don't pass bet - you want the come out roll to show craps, the
2, 3, or 12 and you will win on any roll if it in an Out 7 as well.
You will lose on the don't pass bet when the come out roll of the dice is a 7
or an 11.
ODDS BETS
An Odds bet is a backup bet on a Pass/Don't Pass/Come/Don't Come bet already
on the table. They're usually limited to two or three times (2x or 3x) the
original bet and pay off at true odds: the payoff truly reflects the probability
of the dice's roll and there's no additional house edge involved. Unlike
original Pass/Don't Pass/Come/Don't Come bets, unresolved Odds bets can be
removed from the table during play.
Pass Odds and Come Odds pay 2:1 on a roll of 4 or 10, 3:2 on 5's and 9's, and
6:5 on 6's and 8's.
Don't Pass Odds and Don't Come Odds pay 1:2 on a roll of 4 or 10, 2:3 on 5's and
9's, 5:6 on 6's and 8's.
OTHER BETS
Now for the rest of the table, the Place Number bets and Proposition bets.
Unfortunately the odds against you here vary from mediocre to terrible which is
why savvy players ignore almost all of them. These bets are mostly designed for
players who either have money burning a hole in their pocket or feel they have
to bet on every little toss of the dice. The price of such impatience and
risk-taking is higher house edges, sometimes dramatically higher.
A Place Number bet is where you are betting that a particular number will roll
before a 7 does, or vice versa. These include the Place, Buy, Lay and Lose bets,
the Big 6 and Big 8, and finally the Hard 4, Hard 6, Hard 8 and Hard 10.
The Proposition bets are where you bet that the next roll will be a specific
number. These include the 2, 3, 7, 11, and 12 bets, the Any Craps bet, the
Field, Hop and Horn bets.
THE ODDS
When the shooter establishes a point on the come-out roll, any player who has
made a pass line bet is allowed to "take the odds." A single odds bet
is an additional wager, up to the amount of your original wager, that the point
number will be repeated before a 7 is rolled. The odds bet is the best wager you
can make in the game of craps, because the house has no built-in advantage. Some
casinos permit players to make double odds, and even greater odds wagers. The
odds bet not only has no house edge associated with it, but also has no official
designated space on the craps table. Therefore, to take the odds, you must place
the appropriate amount of chips behind your pass line bet in the open area of
the craps layout.
If you have difficulty at the craps table in determining the proper amount to
bet in order to receive the correct odds payoff, feel free to ask one of the
dealers for assistance. You don't want to lose out on any winnings that are
rightfully yours
