To the uninitiated, the craps table is easily the most intimidating spot on the casino floor.

However, beneath the shouting and flying dice lies one of the most exciting games available.
Understanding the Pass Line Bet
Every beginner should exclusively focus on the Pass Line wager when starting out.

You place this bet before the "come-out roll," which is the very first roll of a new round.
Roll 7 or 11 to win instantlyRoll 2, 3, or 12 to lose instantlyAny other number establishes a "Point" Playing After the Come-Out Roll
When a Point is established, the dealer places a plastic puck on that specific number.

If a 7 is rolled before the Point, the bet loses, and the round is completely over.
Maximizing Your Craps Winnings
Placing an Odds bet behind your Pass Line wager is mathematically the smartest move possible.

Because it pays true mathematical odds, it is the only bet in the casino without a house advantage.
