Craps is a game governed by the odds. You need to figure odds and hedge bets. There are a wide variety of bets you can make, from even money bets to 30-to-1 shots. THE COME-OUT ROLL The following bets are available for the Come Out Roll (the first roll of the roll of the dice in a round). When you are the shooter (the player rolling the dice), you must place a bet either on the PASS LINE or the DON'T PASS BAR. You may also place other bets. When you have placed all your bets, roll the dice to establish the point. Pass Line Bet On the first roll, if you make a 7 or 11, it is called a natural and you win even money on your Pass Line bet (the same amount of money that you put on the Pass Line). Rolling a 2, 3, or 12 is called craps, and you immediately lose your Pass Line Bet. If your first roll is not a natural nor craps, the number you roll is called the point. On all future rolls in the round, you are trying to hit that point again. There are different odds for hitting different points. If you eventually hit your point, the Pass Line pays even money. But, if you roll a 7, you lose. NOTE: You cannot remove your Pass Line Bet from the table. Don't Pass Bar Bet The Don't Pass Bar is exactly the opposite of the Pass Line. When the shooter wins on the Pass Line, any bets on the Don't Pass Bar lose. When the shooter loses on the Pass Line, any bets on the Don't Pass Line win. If you choose to bet this line, you are betting that there is no natural on the first roll and that a 7 comes up before the shooter hits the point. NOTE: As with the Pass Line Bet, you cannot remove the Don't Pass Bet from the table during the round. BIG 8 AND BIG 6 BETS In order to win this bet, a 6 or an 8 must appear on the dice before the shooter rolls a 7. This is also an even money bet. NOTE: These bets can be placed at any time in the round (up to eight times). FIELD BETS The field consists of the numbers 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, and 12. Placing a bet on the field is a bet that the next number will be one of these numbers. This is an even money bet, but if you win on a 2 or 12, the payoff is 2 to 1. NOTE: Field bets can be placed at any time in the round. SPECIAL BETS NOTE: These bets can be placed at any time in the round. Seven - You are betting that any one roll of the dice will come up a 7. The payoff on this bet is 4 to 1. Any Craps - You are betting that any one roll of the dice will be either a 2, 3, or 12. The payoff on this bet is 8 to 1. 3 or 11 - The payoff if a 3 to 11 comes up is 15 to 1. 2 or 12 - The payoff if a 2 or 12 comes up is 30 to 1. Craps-Eleven (2, 3, 12) - You are betting that the shooter will roll a 2, 3, or 12 on the next roll of the dice. The payoff on this bet is 7 to 11. Craps-Eleven (11) - You car betting that the shooter will roll an 11 on the next roll of the dice. This payoff on this bet is 3 to 1. The following bets stay on the table until the shooter rolls craps or makes the point. You may remove these bets at any time before the shooter's round is over. Hard 4 or Hard 10 - These bets are listed together because they pay the same 8 to 1 odds, but they are different bets. When you bet on a Hard 4, you expect to hit a 4 by rolling double 2s. Similarly, when you bet on a Hard 10, you are betting on double 5s. Hard 6 or Hard 8 - You are betting on double 3s or double 4s. The payoff on this bet is 10 to 1. ADDITIONAL BETTING OPTIONS After the Come Out Roll has been thrown and the Point has been established, you may still make the Big 6, Big 8, Field, and all Special bets, but no more bets will be accepted on Pass or Don't Pass. You can also make the additional bets described below. Come Line Bets This bet is very similar to the Pass Line Bet. When you place a bet on the Come Line, you are establishing a second point to play. The next roll of dice will win on a natural or on craps, or establish another point. After this roll, the Come Line Bet will be transferred to the point number, and you may place another Come Line Bet if you want. When the shooter hits the point you come in on, you win even money. Don't Come Bets The Don't Come Line is the opposite of the Come Line. Like the Don't Pass Line, it establishes a point that causes a loss if the shooter makes the point before rolling craps. When you bet on the Don't Come Line, the next roll establishes the Don't Come point. After the point is established, it is moved to the Don't Come numbers. This bet pays even money. Free-Odds Bets Once a point has been established, any player may bet on the odds. Each point has a different likelihood of being hit. The payoff odds for Free- Odds Bets on Pass and Come bets are: Point Payoff Odds 4 or 10 2 to 1 5 or 9 3 to 2 6 or 8 6 to 5 The payoff odds for Free-Odds Bets on Don't Pass and Don't Come Bets are: Point Payoff Odds 4 or 10 1 to 2 5 or 9 2 to 3 6 or 8 5 to 6 Since all other numbers are either natural or craps, these are the only six possible points. In general, the shooter should always place an additional bet on the odds. This bet stays on the table until the shooter wins or rolls craps. The bet may be removed from the table at any time before the end of the round. Place Bets Place Bets are located in the same grid as Come Bets. If the shooter rolls a point that you don't like, you may place a Place Bet on the point of your choosing. Remember that the payoff odds of winning a Place Bet are the same as with Free-Odds Bets, so some points are safer bets than others. Also, Place Bets stay on the table until the shooter hits their point or rolls craps. You may remove a Place Bet from the table at any time. The payoff odds for Place Bets are: Point Payoff Odds 4 or 10 9 to 5 5 or 9 7 to 5 6 or 8 7 to 6 IMPORTANT: With each roll of the dice that does not end the round, you may review, change, or add to all of the above bets except Pass and Don't Pass.
