About craps:

The craps is a popular casino that is played with the help of a dice. This favorite game was formerly known as crabs. Basically the modern craps, which is played in the casinos, is a simplified version of the old English game hazard. The wagering of the money is done against the casino on the basis of the outcome of the roll of two dices. Many a times, the game of craps is played in less formal settings especially in the barracks of the soldiers. In such a game play the side bets are made more frequently. In craps the player takes turn to roll the two dices and betting on the same roll is allowed regardless of who is rolling the dices. The shooter is the name of the player who is rolling the dice. The first roll of a new round is called as the come out roll and all of the bets are based on the total of both the dice together or on the specific combination of the roll.

Gambles in craps:

The game of craps involves a plethora of bets of which the most fundamental is the pass line wager that almost all the players makes. In a come out roll the bettors who make a pass line wager wins if the outcome of the roll is either 7 or 11. Those who gamble on the numbers 2, 3, and 12 lose the wager and are called the craps. When the outcome of the roll turns out as 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 it is called as the points. Once the setting of a point is accomplished the pass line bettors wins if the points are rolled repeatedly, and loses if the roll comes as 7 at the first place. The shooter continues to roll until a seven out at the point, which the dice passes to the next shooter for a new, come out roll. Just exactly opposite to the pass line wager are the, don’t pass bets. This wager is equally famous and those who make it wins if the roll comes as 2 or 3 on a new come out. The bettors looses when the roll of the dice ends up in numbers 7 or 11. There is a tie on the come out of 12 and the wager goes to the point round when any other number is rolled out.
