Craps Rules

How to be successful at Craps? Know the rules.

The rules of craps are straightforward and easy. The player places their bet on the table in the area that defines the bet that they wish to play. The craps table offers numerous ranges for the player to bet in, and the odds of winning shift with the bets made.

The Best Bets on a Craps Table

  • Pass Line Bet 'The most basic of craps bets and one of the very best bets the player can make. It is placed prior to the first roll of a round. For an easy game, players can just stick to this bet all night and forget all the others. The house edge on this bet is a miniscule 1.41%, making it one of the player friendly bets in the casino
  • Field Bet ' This bet is only on the second roll of the dice. Even money is paid if a 3, 4, 9, 10 or 11 is rolled. Double is paid on a 2 and triple on a 12. At a 2.77% house edge, this is still a very player friendly bet.
  • Come Bet ' This is like the Pass Line Bet, but it may be played at any time.
  • Place Bets ' These are longer odds bets that also may be played at any time. These are placed on single numbers.
  • Buy Bets ' These are the same bets as Place Bets, but with different payoffs.
  • Proposition Bets ' These bets are placed on single rolls of the dice and may be placed at any time.
  • Free Odds on the Pass Line ' This is the second bet that beginning players should be familiar with, right after the Pass Line Bet. This one has a no house edge which is why they are called Free Odds. The payout percentage on Free Odds varies from casino to casino, so shop for one that offers really good payouts.
  • Free Odds on Come Bets ' These work like Free Odds on the Pass Line and have the same payouts, varying by casino.
  • Don't Pass Line Bet ' This is the flip-side of the Pass Line bet. If the initial roll is a 7 or 11, the player loses. In brick-and-mortar casinos more people bet Pass than bet Don't Pass, so the Don't Pass betters are vilified. The house edge in the Don't Pass Bet is 1.36%.

Best Craps Payouts

The most regular payouts in craps hit on the Pass Line Bets and the Don't Pass Line Bets. The highest payouts hit on the 2 or 12 Craps bets that pay 30 to 1.

Craps Tournaments

Online craps tournaments are growing in popularity, and for excellent reason. For craps players there is no online game more fun, and in a tournament setting, the excitement really grows.

These tournaments start with a fixed buy-in amount for the tournament. Bets are all placed out of this stake and out of the winnings that players acquire in the course of play. Once the stake is lost, the player is out of the tournament. There are numerous strategies applied in tournament play, but the most important thing to remember is to manage the stake. Start with minimum bids ' during the tournament the minimum bet may be higher than it is during regular play.

Question: How to make money in craps? Answer: As with all gaming, manage your stake wisely.
