Despite the immense popularity and excitement that craps generates among fans there are still many people who do not understand this game and generally avoid it because they find it either confusing or intimidating, yet craps is one of the easiest, most fun and most rewarding of all casino games that you can learn to play and enjoy.
How To Play Craps
The first thing to know about craps is that there are about forty different kinds of bets that you can make, this can seem rather intimidating and a daunting concept to try and get through but the best thing to do when you first start out is to make the easiest bet that everyone starts out with.
One of the easiest craps bets that you can make is called a passline bet, a passline bet works like this: place a bet on the passline before a roller rolls the dice. By the way when a new roller rolls the dice this is known as a come out roll.
If the roller or shooter roll a seven or eleven then you win. However, if the shooter rolls a two or three or a twelve then you loose. If the shooter rolls any other number other than the ones mentioned then that number becomes what is known as a point number. It is important to note that the shooter needs to roll that number (the point number) again before another seven is rolled. Even though this sounds quite complicated it is the safest bet you can make.
