Craps rules

Craps is a game of rounds/rolls. It has rather complicated rules but to play it you really only need to learn the Pass Line bet after that you can learn more bets as you keep playing. The first roll of the dice is called the come-out roll. A player keeps control of the dice until he loses a roll. A legal roll needs to hit the opposite side of the table and rebound.

Sometimes the outcome of a round will be determined on the come-out roll. In particular a 2, 3, 7, 11 or 12 on the come-out roll immediately end a round. If any other total is rolled a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 that number is called the point. The dealer will place a white puck on an area of the table to designate what the point is, in case you forget. If a point is rolled the dice will be rolled continuously until the same point is rolled again or a 7.

Betting the pass line
The pass line is the most known bet in craps. The pass line pays even money if you win. If you bet on the pass line area on a come-out-roll and it is a 7 or 11 you win. If the come-out-roll is a 2, 3 or 12 you lose. If any point is rolled on the come-out-roll if the point is rolled again before a 7 you win, if a 7 comes before the point you lose.

Betting the don’t pass Bet
You could call this bet the opposite of the pass line bet. If the come-out roll is a 2 or 3 then you win, a 7 or 11 you lose. A 12 is a push. Otherwise than this you keep rolling the dice until either the point or a 7 is rolled. If the 7 comes before the point you win.
If you win this bet most other players will be losing betting on other numbers.

Come bet
A Come bet can only be placed after a come-out roll of 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 meaning a point has been established. This bet is similar to the pass line bet. You lose if the next roll is a 2, 3 or 12, and you win if the next roll is a 7 or 11.
If a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 is rolled, the come bet stays on the table. If the initial roll is matched before a 7 is thrown the bet is a winner. If a 7 is thrown before the initial come bet roll is matched the bet is a loser.

Don't come bet
Similar to the don't pass bet, but is made on a non come-out roll.
