Learn how to play Craps in a few simple steps
How to play craps Step #1 The Table Layout
Don’t let yourself feel terrified. It’s an inanimate object – it can never hurt you! While the table looks complicated you will quickly get the idea what all the spaces and numbers mean.
How to Play Craps Step #2 The Dice and the Players
It’s you against the dice and not the players! You are only battling the dice roll and not betting against another player.
How to Play Craps Step #3 The Bets
You could either bet for the shooter to win or you could bet for the shooter to lose. Again, you are not betting against a player but rather the outcome of the dice roll.
How to Play Craps Step #4 The Pass and don’t pass bet
These two bets are the simplest bets to make in the game. A Pass Bet pays off if you get either a 7 or an 11. It loses if a 2, 3 or 12 shows up. Reverse rules apply for the Don’t Pass bet.
How to Play Craps Step #5 The Come and Don’t Come Bet
The main difference between the Come Bet and the Don’t Pass Bet is that the Pass Bet is made at the come out roll while the Come Bet is made when the roll has already come out or a point has already been established.
How to Play Craps Step #6 The Field Bet
When you make a Field Bet, you are hoping that any of the numbers listed in the Field Bet area would come up. A field bet can be made at any point in the game.
How to Play Craps Step #7 Big 6 or Big 8 Bet
You’re simply betting that a 6 or an 8 would be rolled out before a 7 appears.
How to Play Craps Step #8 Place Bet
Place Bets are associated with boxed numbers. Always!
How to Play Craps Step #9 Lay Bet
Lay Bets go hand in hand with wrong bettors. Always! So if you made a Pass Bet, you're not allowed to follow it up with a Lay Bet.
How to Play Craps Step #10 Hardway Bet
If you pick a Hardway 8 Bet, you’re hoping that a 4-4 comes out before a 7 or any soft 8 (eg. 5-3).
How to Play Craps Step #11 Laying the 4 or 10
House advantage for this bet is 2.4%
How to Play Craps Step #12 Placing the 6 and 8
This is the most logical place bet to take with just 1.52% house advantage.
How to Play Craps Step #13 Hard 4 or 10
House advantage is approximately 11% but payoffs are 8 to 1! It's up to you if you wish to take this bet or not.
How to Play Craps Step #14 One Roll Bet
If you choose Any 7, you’re hoping that the next roll of the dice would come up with any combination totaling 7!
