Craps stands out from the crowd by the variety of betting offers it offers to players. Zoom on the 5 main types of craps bets.
The “Pass Line” and the “Don’t Pass Bar”: the basic craps bets
It’s a certainty, all craps players have played Pass Line bets at least once. Why should they? Because, the actions carried out at the igaming craps tables are based on these bets. To learn more about craps betting, the best thing to do is to try your luck at the online casino tables. To win the bet, the numbers on the dice must be 7 or 11. With the numbers 2, 3 and 12, you lose.
Just after the Pass Line, the Don’t Pass Bar is the second most popular craps bet. As its name suggests, it is the opposite of the Pass Line bet. This bet wins with “Come Out Roll” 2, 3 or 12. Conversely, the player loses with the numbers 7 and 11. These first two bets are the basic craps bets. In fact, it is quite possible to venture into this game by mastering them only. But, to maximize your chances of winning, it is better to know the other facets of this game.
The “Come” bet and the “Don’t Come Bar” bet
The operation of the “Come” bet is almost identical to the “Pass Line” bet. However, it can be set up by an individual player. Moreover, this bet is obligatorily made after a point has been scored by the shooter. Thus, like the Pass Line bet, the player wins if he has 7 or 11, but loses with a 2, 3 or 12.
The “Don’t Come Bar” bet is the cousin of the “Don’t Pass Bar” bet. But, just like on “Come”, the initial roll of the egg-laying dice precedes it. When the shooter rolls the number 2, 3 or 12. On the other hand, he loses his bets with the numbers 7 and 11. For any other number, that number is the individual point of the shooter. If the shooter rolls a 7 before being able to rework that point, he wins. On the other hand, he loses if he reworks the point before making a 7.
The Odds Bet is a bet on the “Odds Bet”
The last famous bet concerns the “Odds Bets”. They are not displayed on craps tables, as they are side bets. These bets can be made after a point has been scored by the egg-laying player. Odds Bets are considered fair if the house edge is around 0%.
To make a clearer presentation of the Odds Bets, on points 4 and 10, the payout ratio is 2 to 1, on points 5 and 9, the payout ratio is 3 to 2, and on points 6 and 8, the payout ratio is 6 to 5.
To put the Odds Bets just after a bet on the Pass Line, simply put the chips outside the Pass Line section. Finally, as this bet is not advantageous for the house, the amount of Odds Bets never exceeds 3 times the initial bet.
