How to Play Craps: A Beginner's Guide > Cheditor5 연동 테스트 게시판

If you walk through any major casino, you will undoubtedly find one game that is completely chaotic and crazier than the rest. The crowd is going wild while someone rolls the dice down the length of a massive, incredibly confusing green felt table. This chaotic scene is called Craps. To a complete beginner, the craps table looks like an impossible mathematical nightmare. There are dozens of different betting sections, complex jargon being yelled by the dealers. However, this is actually a massive illusion. Despite the crazy layout, the core game is incredibly basic, and most mathematically player-friendly games in the entire casino. If you just learn the basics, you can play craps like a seasoned professional.

The Only Bet You Need to Know: The Come-Out Roll

The absolute best way to survive the craps table is to ignore all the crazy bets in the middle. The confusing center sections are mathematically terrible "sucker bets" built to trick tourists. You only care about one line wrapping the table: the "Pass Line". Betting on this line is the fundamental core of the entire game. When a new round begins, the shooter makes their very first throw, which is called the "Come-Out Roll". If you bet the Pass Line, you win instantly if the Come-Out roll is a 7 or an 11. You lose immediately if a 2, 3, or 12 is rolled. The math is that basic: 7 or 11 wins, 2, 3, or 12 loses.

The Second Phase of the Game: Chasing the Point

But what about the other numbers? If the shooter rolls any other number one of the other numbers, that number is now the Point. The dealer takes a white puck and moves it on top of that number. The phase of the game shifts. To win your Pass Line bet, the player keeps rolling until they roll the Point again. If the Point hits, you win. However, there is a catch: if a 7 is rolled before the Point hits, the round ends. Every single Pass Line bet instantly loses, the round completely ends, and the dice are passed to the next player at the table. The entire game of craps is just players cheering hoping the Point hits before the 7.

• The Secret Odds Bet: Once a Point is established, you can place an 'Odds' bet behind your chips. This is called "Taking Odds," and it is the only wager that has a house edge of exactly 0.00%. The house has no advantage here.
  
• The Villain Bet: You can play the 'Don't Pass' line. This is betting on the 7, or if they Seven Out before hitting their point. It has a lower house edge, but the other players will hate you since you win when the table loses.
  
• The Sucker Bets: All the bets in the middle of the table with the huge payouts are terrible math traps ranging from 9% to an absolutely brutal 16%. Never, ever place a chip in the center of the craps table.
