How To Bet On Craps
There are lots of different bets available in the game of craps and they can be separated into three different types, and they can be placed on or against the shooter.
Basic Bets
There are four types of these bets which are
Pass Line Bets
These bets are made before the come out roll and on the shooter. To make this wager you place your chips anywhere within the Pass Line area of the layout
Don't Pass Bets
These bets are made before the come out roll and against the shooter. To make this wager you place your chips anywhere within the don't Pass Line area of the layout.
Come Bets
These bets are made after the come out roll and on the shooter. To make this wager you place your chips anywhere within the Come area of the layout.
Don't Come Bets
These bets are made after the come out roll and against the shooter. To make this wager you place your chips anywhere within the Don't Come area of the layout.
Odds Bets
Odds bets are a very good option for the player as the house advantage is small. Odds bets are additional bets made after the shooter has established point.
Pass Line Odds Bets are made after you make a wager on the Pass Line. Then if a Point is rolled, you can back up your bet by taking the odds on the Point. To make this bet you place your additional chips an inch or two behind your original Pass-Line bet.
Come Bet Odds Bets are made after you make a wager on the Pass Line. Then if a Point is rolled, you can back up your bet by taking the odds on the Point. For this wager you drop your chips in front of the dealer and say "Odds on my Come Point". The dealer will then place your bet.
Don't Pass Odds Bets are made after you make a wager on a Don't Pass. Then if a Point is rolled, you can back up your bet by laying the odds on the Point. To make this bet you place your additional chips next to your Don't Pass bet.
Don't Come Odds Bets are made after you make a wager on a Don't Pass. Then if a Point is rolled, you can back up your bet by layingthe odds on the Point. - For this wager you drop your chips in front of the dealer and say "Odds on my Don't Come". The dealer will then place your bet.
Place Bets are made on the numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 and have nothing to do with the Point number. Once made a Place bet is always on except for the Come-out roll when they are always off, unless you tell the dealer differently.
If a 7 is rolled before your Place number - you lose.
If your Place number is rolled before a 7 - you win.
To make this bet lay your chips down in front of the dealer and say, "Place the Six (or other number), please".
Buy Bets are made on the numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 similar to Place bets. Again you are betting that the shooter will roll your number before he/she rolls a 7. A Buy bet is determined in the following manner.
If a 7 is rolled before your Buy number - you lose.
If your Buy number is rolled before a 7 - you win.
To make this bet lay your chips down in front of the dealer and say "Buy the 6 (or other number), please".
Lay Bets are the opposite of Buy bets.
If your Lay number is rolled before a 7 - you lose.
If a 7 is rolled before your Lay number - you win.
To make this bet pass the dealer your chips and say "Lay the odds on the Six (or other number)".
Big Six or Big Eight Bets
If a 7 is rolled before a 6 or an 8 - you lose.
If a 6 or an 8 is rolled before a 7 - you win.
You can make this bet yourself by placing you wager in the Big Six or Big Eight section of the table layout.
Hard Four Bets or Hard Ten Bets
Hard Four can be rolled only one way (2, 2), and Hard Ten only rolled one way (5, 5). You are betting that the shooter will roll a Hard Four or a Hard Ten (whichever you have chosen) before seven, and before any other combination of four (for Hard Four) or ten (for Hard Ten). To make these bets you pass your chips to the stickman.
Hard Six Bets or Hard Eight Bets
You are betting that the shooter will roll a Hard Six or a Hard Eight (whichever you have chosen) before seven, and before any other combination of six (for Hard Six) or eight (for Hard Eight). One Roll Bets
These wagers are decided on the next roll of the dice, the next roll decides if you win or lose.
Field Bets are popular because seven outcomes will win (2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 or 12) can win, while only four (5, 6, 7 or 8) can lose.
Any Seven Bets are made when you bet the next roll will be a 7.
Any Craps Bets are made when you bet the next roll will be a 2, 3 or 12.
Two Bets are for the next roll to be a 2.
Twelve Bets are for the next roll to be a 12.
Three Bets are for the next roll to be a 3.
Eleven Bets are for the next roll to be an 11.
Horn Bet is made when you are betting that a 2, 3, 11 or 12 will show on the next roll.
All of these bets are made through the stickman, except for the Field bet which you can place for yourself
