If you walk through any major [casino](https://oasisrealestateeg.com/author/flossielash92/), you will immediately notice one game that is completely chaotic and crazier than the rest. Players are yelling and celebrating while a single player throws two red dice down the length of a massive, incredibly confusing green felt table. This highly intimidating game is called Craps. To an absolute novice, the craps table looks like an impossible mathematical nightmare. There are confusing boxes and numbers, and the dealers are shouting slang. Yet, this is completely false. Despite its terrifying visual appearance, the core game is incredibly basic, and best games on the floor. By understanding one rule, you can play craps like a seasoned professional.
+The Core Mechanic: How the Game Starts +
The absolute best way to start playing this game is to completely ignore 95% of the table. The confusing center sections are terrible traps built to trick tourists. You only care about one line that borders the felt: the "Pass Line". Making a Pass Line bet is how you play the game. At the start of a round, the person rolling the dice (the "Shooter") makes the Come-Out Roll. If you bet the Pass Line, you win instantly if the Come-Out roll is a 7 or an 11. You instantly lose your bet on a 2, 3, or 12. That is the first step: 7/11 wins, 2/3/12 loses.
+Establishing the Point: The Goal of the Shooter +
But what about the other numbers? If the dice land on a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number is now the Point. The pit boss takes a marker and flip it to the "ON" side on top of that number. The rules of the game now completely change. To secure a win, the shooter must roll the dice again and again until they roll the Point again. If they hit the Point, everybody with a Pass Line bet wins. But there is a fatal flaw: if the shooter rolls a 7 before the Point hits, this is a "Seven Out". Every single Pass Line bet instantly loses, the round is over, and the next person shoots. The entire game of craps is just players cheering trying to avoid the 7.
+ +Taking Odds: When the puck is ON, you can back up your bet. This is called "Taking Odds," and it is literally the only bet in the entire casino with absolutely zero house edge. The casino makes zero profit on this bet. +Betting the Dark Side: You can bet that the table will lose. You win when others lose, or if they Seven Out before hitting their point. It has a lower house edge, but nobody will high-five you because you are betting with the house. +The Sucker Bets: The 'Hardways' and 'Any Seven' bets with the pictures of dice are sucker bets that will drain your cash. Do not touch those bets. + +The Rules at a Glance: How the Pass Line Works +
For a quick reference before you play, as easy and stress-free as possible, look at this basic chart. It summarizes the absolute core mechanics of the Pass Line bet: the Pass Line.

In conclusion, craps is actually incredibly simple. The operators create the board to look like a math puzzle so casual gamblers will make bad bets. By simply walking up, betting only on the Pass Line, avoiding the middle of the table, and playing smart math, you are playing one of the smartest, most mathematically sound games in the entire casino industry. Join the fun, and have the best social gambling experience on the floor.
