Craps Bets
The Pass Line
The Pass Line is the most commonl bet in Craps, almost every Player at the table bets on it. I do!
The Pass Line is an even money bet. You start by placing your bet on the Pass Line area on the table on a Come out roll. If the Come out roll is a 7 or 11 you win! If the Come out roll is a 2, 3, or 12 (Craps) you lose.I like to cover my bet by also placing a bet on "Any" which means if any crap is rolled you win. If any number besides what i mentioned is rolled on the Come out roll if the Point is rolled again before a 7 you win. If a 7 comes before the Point you lose. Which is called "7" out. That is all there is to it. Once you understand the Pass Line bet you are ready to play Craps. You may want to practice using fun money a few times before playing for real money.
Buying the Odds
Once a Point has been thrown you may bet up to 2 times your Pass Line bet on the 'odds.' The odds are simply an additional wager that the Point will be rolled before a 7. Because the probability of the Point being rolled first is less than 50% you win more than you bet if it happens. Specifically if the Point is a 6 or 8 the odds pay 6:5, if the Point is a 5 or 9 the odds pay 3:2, and if the Point is a 4 or 10 the odds pay 2:1.

Don’t Pass
The Don't Pass is almost the opposite of the Pass Line bet. If the Come out roll is a 2 or 3 then you win, a 7 or 11 you lose. A 12 is a push. Otherwise the dice are rolled over and over until either the Point or a 7 is rolled. If the 7 comes before the Point you win.
A person betting on the Don't Pass is not the wager of choice by many Players, since this bet is betting against the shooter. This is also called a "wrong" bettor and is usually winning when everyone else is losing, and vice versa. Click the arrows below:
