To the uninitiated, the craps table is easily the most intimidating spot on the casino floor.

Once you understand the basic mechanics, it quickly becomes the most thrilling game in the house.
The Most Important Craps Bet
The core of craps revolves almost entirely around the fundamental Pass Line bet.

Conversely, if the dice show a 2, 3, or 12, the bet loses instantly, which is called "crapping out."

Once the Point is set, the objective of the game completely changes for the shooter.

If a 7 is rolled before the Point, the bet loses, and the round is completely over.

Once a Point is established, you can make an additional wager called "Taking Odds."

Taking full odds is the secret strategy used by all professional craps players.
