If you walk onto a casino floor, it is usually incredibly easy to locate the Craps pit; just follow the noise.
+
However, for a beginner, this massive, raucous table can be the most intimidating place in the entire building.
+
This is a massive mistake, because beneath the chaotic surface, Craps actually offers some of the absolute best mathematical odds in the [casino](https://git.wending993.top/cecilniven3308).
+
In this article, we are going to completely demystify the game of Craps for the absolute beginner.
+How a Round of Craps Actually Works +
To play Craps flawlessly, you only need to understand one single bet: The Pass Line.
+
On this initial Come-Out Roll, there are only three possible outcomes that immediately affect your Pass Line bet.
+
Outcome 1 (The Instant Win): If the shooter rolls a 7 or an 11, the entire table erupts in cheers.
+
Outcome 3 (Establishing the Point): This is the most common outcome and the heart of the game.
+
The dealer will take a large, physical plastic puck (which is white on one side and black on the other) and place it directly on that number on the layout, white side up.
+What Happens After the Point is Established +
The shooter will now continue to pick up the dice and roll them repeatedly until one of two specific things happens.
+
Your Pass Line bet wins, the dealer pays you 1 to 1, the puck is flipped to "Off," and the game resets to a brand new Come-Out Roll.
+
If the shooter rolls a 7 before they roll the Point (an 8), it is called "Sevening Out."
+
The entire table groans, because a 7 means every single Pass Line bet instantly loses.
+
The House Edge on the Pass Line bet is an incredibly low 1.41%, making it one of the absolute best bets in the entire casino.
+The Best Bet in the Casino: The Free Odds Bet +
If you want to play like a true professional, there is one secret, unwritten bet you must learn: "Taking Odds."
+
Because the casino makes absolutely zero profit on this specific bet, they do not print it on the table layout; you just have to know it exists.
+
If the Point is 6 or 8 (the easiest points to hit), the true odds are 6 to 5. The Odds bet pays exactly 6 to 5.
+
By backing your minimum Pass Line bet with massive Odds bets, you effectively dilute the casino's overall house edge down to a microscopic fraction of a percent.
+
Ignore the yelling, ignore the complex center bets, and just focus on hitting the point.

Do not let the complex layout and the shouting dealers intimidate you from experiencing the best game in the building.

If you stick rigidly to this simple strategy, you will be playing with better odds than 95% of the other people in the casino.

Welcome to the most exciting, chaotic, and profitable fraternity in the casino world.
