Betting rules:
Pass Line Bets: Craps shooter's first dice rolling is known as "Come Out Roll".
Craps player is announced winner if there appears 7 or 11 but if there comes 2, 3 or 12, player looses the bet, which is also called "Craps".
If there appear remaining numbers like 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10, it is called "Point".If shooter makes a Point, he continues rolling the dice till either "Point" number or 7 appears.
If "Point" is rolled before 7, Pass Line betters are announced winner but if 7 is rolled before "Point", all Pass Line betters are announced losers. These bets have house edge as low as 1.414%.
Place Bets - Rolling 4 or 10 pays off 9:5.
The numbers between 10 and 5 are called true odds that have a house edge of 6.66%.
Rolling 5 or 9, brings the pay off 7:5. Rolling either eight or six, with odds at 6 to 5 pays off 7:6 that has a house edge of 1.51%.
Seven - Most of the casinos usually pay 4:1 on the appearing of seven while true odds are considered between 5 - 1. High house edge of 16.66% makes it poor bet.
