A Pass Line Bet - Craps Rules

A ?Pass Line? and a ?Don?t Pass Bar? are the simplest bets to place in a game of Craps. If a player chooses to bet with the shooter, a wager would be placed in the ?Pass Line? section of the table. If a player chooses to bet against the shooter, a wager would be placed in the ?Don?t Pass Bar? section of the table.

A simple Pass Line bet works like this: A player makes his or her bet on the Pass Line section of the table before a new roll by placing chips in the middle of the big band labeled PASS LINE. If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11, the player wins. If the shooter rolls a 2, 3 or 12, the player loses. If the shooter rolls any other number, that number becomes the new point number. If betting with the shooter, the player wants the shooter to roll that number again before a seven is rolled. If this happens, both the player and shooter win. If a 7 is rolled before the point number is rolled again, both the player and shooter lose.

A Pass Line with odds - Craps Rules

Depending on the house odds, a Pass Line combined with an odds bet can range anywhere between 1 to 100 times your original bet. A Pass Line bet with odds cannot be made on the first roll or without also placing a Pass Line bet, as it can only be made after the point is set. For example, if you were betting $10 on a Pass Line bet and the point got set at 5, you could put down an equivalent or larger bet just below your original wager. Simply place the chips half on and half off the bottom of the PASS LINE section of the table. If on the next roll a 5 is hit, you win your Pass Line bet and an additional sum of money from the odds bet. Most casinos have their odds published on the table.

What determines the casino?s payout rate on an odds bet is the actual number at which the point is set. For example, if the point is a 4 or a 10, the casino?s payout rate is 2:1. If the point is a 5 or a 9, the casino?s payout rate is 3:2, and if the point is a 6 or an 8, the casino?s payout rate is 6:5.

The Don?t Pass Bet - Craps Rules

The Don?t Pass bet is the exact opposite of the Pass Line bet. By placing a Don?t Pass bet, a player is betting against the shooter, and loses if a 7 or 11 is rolled. The player wins if a 2 or a 3 is rolled. 12 is considered neutral - nobody wins and nobody loses. If any other number is rolled it becomes the point. If a 7 is rolled before the point is repeated, the player wins.

The Come Bet - Craps Rules

The Come Bet is very similar to the Pass Line bet, however, a Come Bet is made after the point is set. For example, if the point was set at 5, a player decided to place a wager on the COME section of the table and a 7 or a 11 were rolled, the player would win and the shooter would lose. If a 2, 3, or 12 were rolled, the player would lose. If any other number is rolled, it becomes the ?come point?. If a ?come point? is rolled before a 7, the player wins.
For example, if a 9 was rolled after placing a Come Bet, the player?s wager would be moved to the 9 section of the table. If the shooter rolls a 9 before a 7, the player wins.

The Hardway Bet - Craps Rules

In Craps, the only Hardway Bets that exist are a hard 4, 6, 8, or 10. A hard 4 means the shooter rolls double 2s. A hard 6 means the shooter rolls double 3s, and so on. So, when a player makes a Hardway Bet, he or she is betting that the hard version of the number will be rolled before the soft version or a 7. A double 4 is a hard 8, but a 6 and a 2 is considered a soft 8.

The odds for a Hardway Bet vary from casino to casino but generally pay very high as the house has a very good advantage.

The Buy Bet - Craps Rules

If a player makes a Buy Bet, he or she is basically buying one or more of the following: a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. The Buy Bet is similar to the Place Bet in that the number a player buys must come up before a 7.

Proposition Bets - Craps Rules

Proposition Bets are the ones a player makes in the middle of the table and exist only on the 'next roll'. These bets include:

Field Bets - Craps Betting Rules

The Field Bet is a very simple bet and can be made on any roll. A player makes a wager by placing his or her chips in the FIELD section of the table. If the shooter rolls a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12 the player wins. If the shooter rolls a 5, 6, 7, or 8 the player loses.

The Don?t Come Bet - Craps Betting Rules

The Don?t Come Bet is the exact opposite of the Come Bet and can only be made after a point is set by the shooter. If a 7 or 11 is rolled, the player loses. If a 2 or 3 is rolled, the player wins. Again, 12 is neutral - nobody wins and nobody loses. If any other number is rolled, it becomes the point. If a 7 is rolled before the point number is repeated, the player wins. If the point number is repeated before a 7 occurs, the player loses.

The Place Bet - Craps Betting Rules

A place bet can be made at any time by asking the dealer to make a Place Bet on a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. If that number is hit before a 7 is rolled, the player wins.
