There are many kinds of bets that you can make in this game. Familiarize yourself with them before moving to the next section.

Pass and Don’t Pass Lines & Come and Don’t Come Bets

These bets are made during the first roll. With Pass Line, you win with a roll of 7 or 11 and lose if it’s 2; with Don’t Pass Line, you lose on 7 or 11 and win on 2 or 3. 12 is a tie. In both bets, the other numbers rolled initially become the point. Pass Line bets win if the point is rerolled before a 7. Meanwhile, Don’t Pass wins if a 7 comes before the point.

Come and Don’t Come bets have exactly the same conditions, except you can only make these wagers after the first roll.

Take/Lay Odds Bet

This is an additional bet that you can make after a point is established. If you take the odds, you’re betting that the point will be rolled before a 7. Meanwhile, laying the odds is the opposite.

Place Bets

You’re placing a bet on 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and/or 10. If the number you’ve bet on appears before 7, you win your bet.

Field Bets

You’re wagering that the next roll will not be 5, 6, 7, or 8.

Proposition Bets

These are the bets in the middle of the craps table. You can bet on Any Craps, Aces or Twelves, Ace-Deuce or Eleven, or 7 to be the outcome for the next roll.

Hardaways

You’re betting that a pair will be rolled before a 7 or the easy way (an even number roll, except for 2 and 12, which is not a pair).

Hop Bets

You’re betting on the outcome of the next roll. You’ll tell the dealer what you think the next roll will be, and if it happens, you win.

Certain bets have lower odds than others. That’s why the payout is a little different; it reflects the risk that you’re taking.

At this point, we hope that you have established craps rules to help you keep up with the fast-paced gaming. And just as important as it is to win, you should also keep in mind that your funds aren’t unlimited. Preserve your bankroll while still opening yourself to decent payouts by keeping these tips in mind:

• Bet lower than you normally do. Each round goes so quickly, and you’d be surprised how quickly the funds will deplete, sometimes in just five minutes of losses. You also need to account for the fact that there’s more than one bet that you can make per round.
• Set limits. Let’s say that you started with $100. You can assume that to be your loss limit. Then, make a commitment to walk away when you double your money.
• Stay long enough to hit a winning streak. To last long enough on the craps table, even when losing, you need to consider your betting budget and your bet amount. Make adjustments where needed to play longer. You can also take advantage of PH casino free bonuses to further augment your funds.
