How to Bet in Craps
Betting in craps is not as complex as it looks. You can make basic bets or obscure ones that pay out big.
Let's explain the simple, safer bets for starters.
- The Field: This is the long polygon field right below the 'Come' box. The numbers 3, 4, 9, 10 and 11 are displayed between 2 and 12, both printed inside a circle. By putting a chip on the field, you are betting that whoever is rolling the dice, will roll a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 or 12. Bets on these numbers pay out 1:1. If the shooter rolls a 2 or a 12, a winning bet pays 2:1.
- The Pass Line: Betting on the Pass Line is another popular way to play where you are essentially playing against the house. Pass Line numbers are displayed as 4, 5, six, 8, nine and 10. You can only bet on these numbers if the round, black button sitting on the table displays ON. The shooter rolls the dice when the button is ON. You can bet and win if the shooter rolls any of these numbers. Rolling a 7 loses and you lose your bet. The next person at the table will become the new shooter.
