How to Win at Craps
Objective of the Game: Craps is a dice game and is said to
date back to the Romans but has been made famous in the Casinos
of Las Vegas. The Craps table is usually the most exciting table
in the house with players taking an active role in the game and
adding to the atmosphere by cheering and commenting on the game.
"Snake Eyes!" Craps is a game of chance and the objective
is to predict the outcome of the roll of the dice. The game can
seem fairly complex but offers up a captivating experience once
you have learnt the ropes.
The game uses two identical dice
and is based on how often seven as the total of the two dice comes
up and how the other numbers compare with it.
How to Play The game can look complicated but it is possible
to learn just a few of the betting options to begin playing.
The opposing faces of each die always total seven (the one is always
opposite the six, the two opposite the five and so on). You
have six numbers on each die and so a pair of dice will give you
36 different combinations. Craps is based on how often these different
combinations appear.

Some of the terminology used in Craps:
Naturals - The total of the two dice adds up to 7 or 11
Craps - The total of the two dice adds up to 2, 3, or
12
Point - The total of the two dice adds up to 4,
5, 6, 8, 9, or 10
Snake Eyes - 1's rolled on both
dice
The Shooter - you, the player
Come
out roll - The first roll of the dice
To get started
we can look at the most popular (and profitable) bet on the Craps
table: the pass line wager.
You toss the dice with three
possible outcomes - a Natural, a Point or a Craps (see above).
If you roll a Natural (7 or 11) before the Point is established,
a pass line bet is won.
If you roll a Craps (2,3 or 12),
the pass line bet is lost.
If you roll a Point (4,5,6,8,9
or 10) you must roll that number again, before another seven is
rolled to win.
