The craps table is undoubtedly the loudest, most energetic, and most intimidating area on any casino floor.
You do not need to memorize every single bet on the board to have a fantastic time playing craps.
The Most Important Craps Bet
The absolute best way to start is by placing a simple wager on the area marked 'Pass Line'.
On the very first roll (the Come Out roll), your Pass Line bet wins instantly if the shooter throws a 7 or 11.
The Pass Line bet has an incredibly low house edge of just 1.41%, making it one of the best bets in the casinoYou can place 'Odds' behind your Pass Line bet, which is the only wager in the building with a 0% house edgeMost of the crazy proposition bets in the center of the table are terrible mathematically and should be avoided
Unwritten Rules of the Craps Table
Craps has a lot of superstition and physical movement, meaning there are several unwritten rules you must obey.
Never let your hands dangle over the felt; if the dice hit your hand and 'seven out', the entire table will blame you.
