In craps, players
may wager money against each other (street craps) or the bank (bank
craps) on the outcome of one roll, or of a series of rolls of two
dice. Because it requires very little equipment, craps can easily
be played in less formal settings, and is said to be popular among
soldiers. In such situations side bets are more frequent, with one
or several participants covering or "fading" bets against
the dice.

Craps
Roll
Clicking on the Roll button after placing a bet starts a new round
and sets the dice in motion. After the dice come to a rest, losing
bets are removed from the table, and winning bets are paid. For
winning bets, the original bet amount is returned after the winnings
are paid out. Also, any bets that tie (push) are returned.
Repeat
Clicking on the Repeat button will repeat all the bets made on the
previous round that can be validly placed now.
Clear
Clicking on the Clear button removes all the bets on the table that
can be removed.
Most bets can be removed, added to, or deducted from at any time.
Exceptions would be the Pass and Come bets, and you cannot exceed
the maximum bet on the odds.
Bet Regions
When moving the cursor over the bet regions a yellow "tag"
will appear that gives the name of the bet, the current amount placed
for that bet, and the minimum and maximum amounts that can be placed
on that bet. If a green highlight appears in a region, that indicates
this bet can be placed or changed. If a red highlight appears, this
bet cannot be increased (but sometimes can be removed).
Craps Bets
The Pass Line
The Pass Line is the most fundamental bet in Craps,
almost every Player at the table bets on it.
The Pass Line is an even money bet. You start by placing your bet
on the Pass Line area on the table on a Come out roll. If the Come
out roll is a 7 or 11 you win, which is also called a "natural".
If the Come out roll is a 2, 3, or 12 (Craps) 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. That is all
there is to it. Once you understand the Pass Line bet you are ready
to play Craps online.
You may want to practice using fun money a few times before playing
for real money.
Buying the Odds
Once a Point has been thrown you may bet up to 2 times your Pass
Line bet on the 'odds.' The odds are simply an additional wager
that the Point will be rolled before a 7. Because the probability
of the Point being rolled first is less than 50% you win more than
you bet if it happens. Specifically if the Point is a 6 or 8 the
odds pay 6:5, if the Point is a 5 or 9 the odds pay 3:2, and if
the Point is a 4 or 10 the odds pay 2:1.
