Normally, the first bet that the player does is to bet on the “pass line” and the bet is done by placing your chips in the long box that surrounds the board and that has the word “pass” written on it. Game of Craps Like Playing Craps Rules of Craps Strategy of Craps Real Virtual Craps Games of Free Craps The first shoot to “come” is the throw of Dices that initiates the session.

There is a safe way to determine if the session has or has not begun or if you are playing in the shooter “come”. As it really happens in the casinos, you always will be able to find a round object called a “marker puck” that is placed on the table. A “puck” is noticeable with the word “OFF” on one side and “ON” on the other. Besides that, you can just improve your skills with a lot of practice on judi online so that you can get a better idea of the game. 

If the session has not yet begun and it is being thrown for a “come out roll”, the “puck” will not be in the boxes of bets and will be displaying the word “OFF”.

The game of Craps is distinguished in that it has two stages. These stages are: of the initiated session (“puck” is on the board and shows word “ON”), or of the non-initiated session (“puck” is outside the board and shows word “OFF”). The session is considered non-initiated if the dices are being sent for the “come out roll”.

It is in this stage when we can make the bet to the “pass line”. Once we have made our bet to the “pass line”, the shot is sent to “come”. If during the shots for “come”, a total of 2, 3, or 12 is left, the session finishes, and all the bets to “pass” are lost. On the other hand, if during the shots to “come” it leaves 7 or 11, the session finishes, and all the bets to “pass” gain.

If it leaves any other number, the session begins and the number that is left will be called “the Point to him” during the rest of the session. If a number was already determined a “Point”, the bets on “pass” do not lose nor win, but simply remain in their place and their success will be decided later.

At this moment normally the bet to “pass” depend solely on the probabilities of winning, called “odds”; this bet of odds is also known as “free”. What it will be doing is to endorse your previous bet with more money.

In order to endorse your bet to the “pass line” after it has left “the Point”, you place more chips right under the “pass line”, so and as if you just placed them outside the game board, behind the initial bet. This one becomes then your bet to “odds”, and is literally the best bet that is possible to be done in a casino. The best “free odds” are paid according to their probability of winning. This means that while it is less probable that it wins, greater will be the payment than you will receive if it wins.

In this bet, the House does not have an advantage.

The risk consists of when you stop to make a bet according to the probabilities or “odds”, first you must make a bet with negative expectation (like the bet to the “pass line”), and then endorse it with a bet according to its probabilities or “odds”.

It is by the combination of the bet to the “pass line” (that already gives a minimum advantage to the House), with a bet of probabilities “free odds”, that is considered the best possible bet that can be made in a casino.

This is only the beginning of the game. The game of Craps is more complex than it seems at first, for that reason we recommended that you read more instructions.

Practically all the online casinos have on their websites the instructions of Craps for the information of their users.
