To the uninitiated, the craps table is easily the most intimidating spot on the casino floor.
Once you understand the basic mechanics, it quickly becomes the most thrilling game in the house.
The Most Important Craps Bet
The core of craps revolves almost entirely around the fundamental Pass Line bet.
You place this bet before the "come-out roll," which is the very first roll of a new round.

Playing After the Come-Out Roll
If any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) is rolled, that number becomes the "Point."
The shooter must now roll that exact same Point number again before rolling a 7.
Maximizing Your Craps Winnings
Once a Point is established, you can make an additional wager called "Taking Odds."
Because it pays true mathematical odds, it is the only bet in the casino without a house advantage.
