Learn How To Play
Online Craps
The
apparently complex table and the vast amount of betting options can be
scary for craps beginners. Luckily, the table layout and betting options
may appear scary but are actually quite simple to learn. Fundamentally,
craps is a game of rounds. There are just two rounds in every game. The
first round is called the Come Out round, the second is called the Point
round.
The hardest task for beginning craps players to learn is not the rules,
but mainly the terms surrounding the game. There are so many unusual
words being thrown around. This makes it important for players to learn
'craps slang' after learning the rules so you'll be able to understand,
and even speak, the craps lingo.
In the two different craps rounds, there is only one basic bet.
The main objective in the Come Out round is for the shooter – the person
throwing the dice – to roll a 7 or an 11. These numbers are an automatic
win the first round of the game. If the shooter rolls a 2, 3, or a 12
then that roll is an automatic loss. The numbers 2, 3, and 12 are called
craps. If any other number is rolled in the first round – 1, 4, 5, 6, 8,
9, or 10 – it will become the Point and the game will progress to the
second round. In the Point round,
the main object is for the shooter to roll the point number before
he/she rolls a 7. This round may last a long time because it continues
until the shooter rolls either a seven or the point.
To bet on the Come Out round players can place their wagers on the Pass
Line or the Don't Pass Line. Placing money on the Pass Line is
considered a 'right' bet since you are betting that the shooter will
roll a 7 or an 11. Betting on the Don't Pass Line is considered a
'wrong' bet, since you are betting that the shooter will crap out with a
2, 3, or a 12. That's it. This is the fundamental bet in craps.
Once you've learned this basic bet, the terms and the etiquette of the
game, you are ready to start joining in one of the most exciting casino
games in the world. After you've become familiar with the game, you can
start incorporating the other, more-advanced betting options into your
strategy. But don't forget to start slow, the great odds in craps will
be lowered if you place so many bets on the table you lose track of
them! Beyond this, the best advice is to learn the rules and bets on
your own; don't take advice from players at the tables, and have fun.
