Craps

Ordinary day? Spice it up now!

As simple as betting whether the shooter throwing a pair of dice will be able to throw a winning combination! On the surface the game can appear to be very complicated because it has an almost endless number of betting options. But you don't have to know all the betting options in order to play, just by knowing couple betting options you can still have an exciting game!

How to Play?

Craps involves betting on the rolls of two dice, with six sides on each die there are a total of thirty six possible numbers between the two dice. The easiest way to understand the craps table is to break it down into three sections (Left, Right, and Center). Notice that the left and right sides of the table are the same. The bets in the center are the higher bets. They are riskier but they also payout more!

Learn to calculate the Odds

The main thing to keep in mind when playing craps is that the odds of winning each roll change depend on the bet you are making. Good craps players-anyone can get good if you practice - can instantly determine the odds of a roll. But for beginners you can easily figure out the odds as well by doing a simple calculation. To figure out your possible chances of rolling any number all you have to do is divide 36 by the number of possible ways that exist between the two dice to make that number. Example: the odds of rolling a seven, simply divide 36 by 6. The more you play the more you will pick up on natural rhythms and patters in the rolls. This will also add to your instincts and your ability to naturally predict which bets make the most sense. Good luck!
