Welcome to Winning at Craps. Here is a list of the bets you can make while craps betting:

Pass Line Bet - If first roll is a natural (7, 11) you win. If it is craps (2, 3, 12) you lose. If you roll a point (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) it must be repeated before a 7 is thrown for you to win. You lose ff 7 is rolled before the point.

Odds on Pass Line Bet - Once a point is rolled you are able to make this additional craps bet by taking odds. There are different payoffs for each point. A point of 4 or 10 pays you 2:1; 5 or 9 pays 3:2; 6 or 8 pays 6:5. You can only win if the point is rolled again before a 7.

Come Bet – You can only make this bet after the point on the pass line has been determined.  Once you place your bet the first dice roll will set the come point. If it is a natural (7, 11), you win. You lose if it is craps (2, 3, 12). Other rolls can make you a winner if the come point is repeated before a 7 is rolled. You lose if a 7 is rolled first.

Odds on Come Craps Betting – The same thing as the Odds on Pass Line bet except you take odds on the Come bet not the Pass Line bet.

Don’t Pass Line Bet – This is a reversed Pass Line bet. You lose if the first roll of a dice is a natural (7, 11).  You win if it is a 2 or a 3.  A craps roll of 12 means you have a tie.  If the roll is a point (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) a 7 must come out before that point is repeated for you to win. You lose if the point is rolled again before the 7.

Don’t Come Bet – The reversed Come Bet.  After the come point has been established you win if it is a 2 or 3 and lose for 7 or 11.  12 is a tie and other craps rolls will make you a winner if a 7 appears before them on the future throws.

Place Bets – This bet can only be made after the point has been determined. You can bet on a roll of 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10.  If the number you placed your bet on is rolled before a 7, you win.  Otherwise you lose. The Place Bets payoffs are different depending on the number you bet on. 4 or 10 pays9:5; 5 or 9 pays 7:5, and 6 or 8 pays 7:6. You can cancel this bet at any time.

Field Bets – These bets are for one roll only.  You win if a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12 is rolled.  You lose if a 5, 6, 7 or 8 are rolled.  Field Bets have the following payoffs: 2 pays double (2:1) ,12 pays 3:1,. and other winning dice rolls pays even (1:1).

Big Six, Big Eight Bets – This craps bet is for any roll of dice.  You win these bets if a 6 or 8 comes out before a 7 is rolled. Big Six and Big Eight are even bets and are paid at 1:1.
