There are many kinds of bets that you can make in this game. Familiarize yourself with them before moving to the next section.
Pass and Don’t Pass Lines & Come and Don’t Come Bets
These bets are made during the first roll. With Pass Line, you win with a roll of 7 or 11 and lose if it’s 2; with Don’t Pass Line, you lose on 7 or 11 and win on 2 or 3. 12 is a tie. In both bets, the other numbers rolled initially become the point. Pass Line bets win if the point is rerolled before a 7. Meanwhile, Don’t Pass wins if a 7 comes before the point.
Come and Don’t Come bets have exactly the same conditions, except you can only make these wagers after the first roll.
Take/Lay Odds Bet
This is an additional bet that you can make after a point is established. If you take the odds, you’re betting that the point will be rolled before a 7. Meanwhile, laying the odds is the opposite.
Place Bets
You’re placing a bet on 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and/or 10. If the number you’ve bet on appears before 7, you win your bet.
Field Bets
You’re wagering that the next roll will not be 5, 6, 7, or 8.
Proposition Bets
These are the bets in the middle of the craps table. You can bet on Any Craps, Aces or Twelves, Ace-Deuce or Eleven, or 7 to be the outcome for the next roll.
Hardaways
You’re betting that a pair will be rolled before a 7 or the easy way (an even number roll, except for 2 and 12, which is not a pair).
Hop Bets
You’re betting on the outcome of the next roll. You’ll tell the dealer what you think the next roll will be, and if it happens, you win.
