To the uninitiated, the craps table is easily the most intimidating spot on the casino floor.
Once you understand the basic mechanics, it quickly becomes the most thrilling game in the house.
Understanding the Pass Line Bet
Every beginner should exclusively focus on the Pass Line wager when starting out.
You place this bet before the "come-out roll," which is the very first roll of a new round.

Establishing and Hitting the Point
Once the Point is set, the objective of the game completely changes for the shooter.
If the shooter successfully hits the Point before a 7, your Pass Line bet wins.
Taking Odds Behind the Line
Placing an Odds bet behind your Pass Line wager is mathematically the smartest move possible.
Because it pays true mathematical odds, it is the only bet in the casino without a house advantage.
