The basics of craps are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Around the outside of the layout is the \u201cpass line\u201d and above that is the \u201cdon\u2019t pass\u201d line. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These two betting options are opposites of each other. In fact, 90-95% of craps players bet the pass line and the others bet the don\u2019t pass line \u2013 another name for these players is <em>darksiders<\/em>. I am sure you get the picture here. Don\u2019t pass players tend to be disliked by pass-line players who are also called <em>right-side<\/em> players. Each tends to be betting the opposite side of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The shooter is passed five dice and he or she selects two of them. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, each player is given the option of shooting the dice and that is one of the charms of the game. Take those dice and put everything into your own hands \u2013 for good or ill! Have a winning craps roll \u2013 glorious! Have a losing roll? Yuck, you might feel like slinking away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>Tip: Check out the movie Oceans 13 which gives a great look at how the dice are actually made so they are nearly perfect.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The game begins with a new shooter rolling the dice. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This is called the <em>come-out roll<\/em> and that starts the new shooter\u2019s attempt to take down the house at craps. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The come-out roll will set up the number that will become the \u201cpoint.\u201d <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The shooter will have to hit that number before hitting a seven in order to win. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hit the 7 and most pass line bets will lose.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the come-out roll, a pass-line bet wins if the 7 or 11 rolls, and it loses if a 2, 3 or 12 rolls. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When the shooter hits the point number, he will continue to roll the dice until he or she loses. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/longest-craps-roll-in-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">world record for a dice roll<\/a> is over 150!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Numbers in Craps Explained<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since craps is a game of numbers, players should know how these numbers are made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 36 possible combinations of two six-sided dice [6 x 6 = 36). \u00a0Every aspect of craps is a numbered aspect \u2013 and you will probably be surprised by how many players do not actually understand the numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since this is a basics of craps explainer, let&#8217;s go through them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each pip on the dice is a number. So, a one-pip die is the number one and a six-pips die is the number six. A six-piped die and a one-piped die will equal the number 7; the most powerful number in craps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The seven can also be made using the 2 pips and 5 pips, the 3 pips and the 4 pips. Remember, you use two dice so there are two dice with 4 pips and two dice with 3 pips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dice Combinations In A Craps Game Explained : &#8220;The Pyramid of Numbers&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This pyramid shows the possible combinations for each number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2: &nbsp;<\/strong>1:1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3:<\/strong> &nbsp;2:1; 1:2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4:<\/strong> &nbsp;2:2, 3:1, 1:3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5:<\/strong> &nbsp;3:2, 2:3, 4:1, 1:4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6: &nbsp;<\/strong>3:3, 4:2, 2:4; 5:1, 1:5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7: &nbsp;<\/strong>4:3, 3:4, 5:2, 2:5, 6:1, 1:6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8<\/strong>: &nbsp;4:4, 5:3, 3:5,6:2, 2:6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9<\/strong>: &nbsp;5:4, 4:5, 6:3, 3:6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10:<\/strong> 5:5, 6:4, 4:6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>11:<\/strong> 6:5, 5:6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>12:<\/strong> 6:6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Dice Odds In Craps Explained<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The relationship of a given number to the 7 is important for many craps bets.

It used to be called \u201ccrabs\u201d and it was played for many generations in the South. Its origin might have been the British game of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/topic\/hazard-dice-game\">Hazard<\/a>. The great writer Geofrey Chaucer mentions it in his epic book <em>The Canterbury Tales<\/em> which was written in the late 1300s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the United States, the game slowly moved its way into the cities of the North and was often called the \u201calley game\u201d by city players. It still is played in the cities\u2019 alleys. Northerners thought those southerners called the game \u201ccraps\u201d as opposed to \u201ccrabs\u201d, and that\u2019s what its name became.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>World War II brought craps to the forefront of the gaming world as it was one of the two most played games during the war, along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/poker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">poker<\/a>. When casinos started to flourish after World War II, craps was the number-one table game in the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Final Note On The Basics of Craps: The Most Exciting Game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, I love to play craps and I also love other games but bar none, craps is the most exciting, stimulating, and also the most disappointing, and groan-inducing game in the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can you win at craps? On some bets the game is so close that any given session might indeed turn out to be a winner for the smart player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the title of the game can mean a different thing, a negative thing, with some other bets. It is up to the players to know the difference between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/best-craps-bets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">good craps bets<\/a> (such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/craps-come-bet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Come bet<\/a>) and bad ones (such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/craps-field-bet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Field bet<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You see, when things are riding high and a craps shooter is hitting numbers and points, the table generally explodes with just about each roll of the dice. When shooter after shooter sevens-out early in his or her roll, which usually means a bad time for just about everyone, the groans can be heard from just about everywhere in the casino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those groans are the yodels of the despondent players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a casino fan, you know what I\u2019m speaking about.
