However there are a number of different bets and strategies that make Craps simple enough even for the most inexperienced players. Follow these basic guidelines and systems to make other people in the online casino world jealous that you have a full understanding of the concepts of and odds of exciting game of craps.

How to Play

The game begins with a "come out" roll or the first roll in which one player rolls the dice to determine a "point number." Prior to this come out roll other players can make a pass bet in which they are hoping that a 7 or 11 will be rolled, or they are hoping that which ever point number is rolled, will be rolled again before a 7. Point numbers include 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10. So the first number will establish this point number, but if a 2, 3 or 12 is rolled on the come out roll your bet is lost.

The Don't Pass bet is the opposite of a Pass bet in which players are hoping for a 2, 3 or 12 on the come out roll, and also hoping that a 7 will be rolled prior to the point number on the next consecutive rolls. So each side of the board can be played depending on which the player wishes.

Come and Don't Come

These bets are established for players that have joined the game after the come out roll has been made. Because the Pass and Don't Pass bets can only be made prior to this roll, the new player has the opportunity to make a Come bet which like the Pass bet is made hoping the point number will be rolled before a 7, or the Don't Come bet in which the player hopes the 7 will be rolled prior to the point number.

Increased Odds Bets

Many other bets are possible within Casino Craps Gambling Online play including General bets Around 7s and Nest Roll bets. These bets increase the players odds because each individual category is less likely to hit but will pay out larger. Some of the highest betting odds include snake eyes that pays out 30 to 1, or a 12 Nest bet that also pays out 30 to 1 odds.
