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.
The Most Important Craps Bet
The core of craps revolves almost entirely around the fundamental Pass Line bet.
If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 on the come-out roll, your Pass Line bet wins immediately.

Establishing and Hitting the Point
When a Point is established, the dealer places a plastic puck on that specific number.
If a 7 is rolled before the Point, the bet loses, and the round is completely over.
Taking Odds Behind the Line
Once a Point is established, you can make an additional wager called "Taking Odds."
Always maximize your Odds bet up to the table limit to reduce the overall house edge.
