Bovada craps basics
Casino Bovada craps (or Bank Bovada craps), a dice game, is one of the most exciting casino games. It is common to hear yelling and shouting at a Bovada craps table. It is played on a purpose-built table and two dice are used. The dice are made after very strict standards and are routinely inspected for any damage. As a matter of course, the dice are replaced with new ones after about eight hours of use, and casinos have implemented rules in the way a player handles them. To begin, the Shooter (one of the players) must be at least the table minimum on either the Pass Line or the Don't Pass Line (sometimes called 'win' or 'right' bets and 'don’t win' or 'wrong' bets). The shooter is presented with multiple dice (normally five) by the Stickman, and must choose two to roll with. The remaining dice are returned to the Stickman's Bowl and are not used. The shooter must handle the dice with one hand only when throwing and the dice must hit the walls on the opposite end of the table. In the event that one or both dice are thrown off the table, they must be inspected (usually by the stickman) before putting them back into play. The Bovada craps table can accommodate up to about 20 players, who each get a round of throws or at 'shooting' the dice. If you don't want to throw the dice, you can bet on the thrower. Several types of bets can be made on the table action. The casino crew consist of a Stickman, Boxman and two Dealers. The game is played in rounds, with the right to roll the dice by each player moving clockwise around the Bovada craps table at the end of each round. A player may choose not to roll but can continue to bet. Each round has two phases: Come Out and Point. To start a round, the shooter makes one or more Come Out rolls. A Come Out roll of 2, 3 or 12 (called Bovada craps, the shooter is said to 'crap out') ends the round with players losing their Pass Line bets. A Come Out roll of 7 or 11 (a Natural) results in a win for Pass Line bets. The shooter continues to make Come Out rolls until he rolls 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, which number becomes the Point. The dealer then moves an On button to the point number signifying the second phase of the round. If the shooter rolls the point number, the result is a win for bets on the Pass Line. If the shooter rolls a seven (a Seven-out), the pass line loses and the round ends. The first roll of the dice in a betting round is the Come Out roll - a new game in Bovada craps begins with the Come Out roll. A Come Out roll can be made only when the previous shooter fails to make a winning roll, that is, fails to make the Point or makes a Seven-out (rolls a seven). A new game then begins with a new shooter. If the current shooter does make his Point, the dice are returned to him and he then begins the new Come Out roll. This is a continuation of that shooter's roll, although technically, the Come Out roll identifies a new game about to begin. When the shooter fails to make his or her Point, the dice are then offered to the next player for a new Come Out roll and the game continues in the same manner. The new shooter will be the person directly next to the left of the previous shooter - so the game moves in a clockwise fashion around the Bovada craps table. The dice are rolled across the Bovada craps table layout. The layout is divided into three areas - two side areas separated by a center one. Each side area is the mirror reflection of the other and contains the following: Pass and Don't Pass line bets, Come and Don't Come bets, Odds bet, Place bets and Field bets. The center area is shared by both side areas and contains the Proposition bets. Pass bets win when the come out roll is 7 or 11, while pass bets lose when the come out roll is 2, 3, or 12. Don't bets lose when the come out roll is 7 or 11, and don't bets win when the come out roll is 2 or 3. Don't bets tie when the come out roll is 12 (2 in some casinos; the 'Bar' roll on the layout indicates which roll is treated as a tie). A player joining a game and wishing to play Bovada craps without being the shooter should approach the Bovada craps table and first check to see if the dealer's 'On' button is on any of the point numbers. If the point number is Off then the table is in the Come Out round. If the dealer's button is 'On', the table is in the Point round where most casinos will allow a Pass Line bet to be placed. All single or multi-roll 'Proposition bets' may be placed in either of the two rounds. Between dice rolls there is a period for the dealers to make payouts and collect the losing bets, after which players can place new bets. The stickman monitors the action at the table and decides when to give the shooter the dice, after which no more betting is allowed. Below is a list of the various bets you can make at Bovada craps. Pass Line Bet - You win if the first roll is a natural (7, 11) and lose if it is Bovada craps (2, 3, 12). If a point is rolled (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) it must be repeated before a 7 is thrown in order to win. If 7 is rolled before the point you lose.The fundamental bet in Bovada craps is the Pass Line Bet, which is a bet for the shooter to win their point number. A Pass Line Bet is won immediately if the Come Out roll is a 7 or 11. If the Come Out roll is 2, 3 or 12, the bet loses (known as 'crapping out'). If the roll is any other value, it establishes a Point; if that point is rolled again before a seven, the bet wins. If, with a point established, a seven is rolled before the point is re-rolled, the bet loses ('seven out'). A Pass Line win pays even money.Odds on Pass Line Bet
After a point is rolled you can make this additional bet by taking odds. There are different payoffs for each point. A point of 4 or 10 will pay you 2:1; 5 or 9 pays 3:2; 6 or 8 pays 6:5. You only win if the point is rolled again before a 7. Come Bet - It has the same rules as the Pass Line Bet. The difference consists in the fact you can make this bet only after the point on the pass line has been determined. On a Come Out roll the Come Bet is placed on the pass line as they are an identical bet. After you place your bet the first dice roll will set the come point. You win if it is a natural (7, 11) and lose if it is Bovada craps (2, 3, 12). Other rolls will make you a winner if the come point is repeated before a 7 is rolled. If a 7 is rolled first you lose. A Come Bet is played in two rounds and is played similar to a Pass Line Bet. The main difference is that a player making a Come Bet will bet on the first point number that 'comes' from the shooter's next roll, regardless of the table's round. If a 7 or 11 is rolled on the first round, it wins. If a 2, 3 or 12 is rolled, it loses. If instead, the roll is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 then the Come Bet will be moved by the base dealer onto a Box representing the number the shooter threw. This number becomes the Come Bet point and the player is allowed to add odds to the bet. The dealer will place the odds on top of the Come Bet, but slightly off center in order to differentiate between the original bet and the odds. The second round wins if the shooter rolls the Come Bet before a seven. If the seven comes before the number (the Come Bet), the bet loses. On a Come Out roll for the pass line the Come Bet is in play, but traditionally the odds are not working unless the player indicates otherwise to the dealer. Because of the Come Bet, if the shooter makes their point, a player can find themselves in the situation where they have a Come Bet (possibly with odds on it) and the next roll is a Come Out roll. In this situation, odds bets on the come wagers are presumed to be not working for the Come Out roll. That means that if the shooter rolls a 7 on the Come Out roll, any players with active Come Bets waiting for a 'come point' lose their initial wager but will have their odds money returned to them. If the 'come point' is rolled the odds do not win but the Come Bet does and the odds are returned. The player can tell the dealer that they want their odds working, such that if the shooter rolls a number that matches the 'come point', the odds bet will win along with the Come Bet, and if a seven is rolled both lose. Odds on Come Bet - Exactly the same thing as the Odds on Pass Line Bet except you take odds on the Come Bet not the Pass Line Bet. Don't Pass Line Bet
- This is the reversed Pass Line bet. If the first roll of a dice is a natural (7, 11) you lose and if it is a 2 or a 3 you win. A dice roll of 12 means you have a tie or push with the casino. If the roll is a point (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) a 7 must come out before that point is repeated to make you a winner. If the point is rolled again before the 7 you lose. Don't Come Bet - The reversed Come Bet. After the come point has been established you win if it is a 2 or 3 and lose for 7 or 11. 12 is a tie and other dice rolls will make you win only if a 7 appears before them on the following throws. Place Bets - This bet works only after the point has been determined. You can bet on a dice roll of 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10. You win if the number you placed your bet on is rolled before a 7. Otherwise, you lose. The Place Bets payoffs are different depending on the number you bet on. 4 or 10 will pay 9:5; 5 or 9 pays 7:5, and 6 or 8 pays 7:6. You can cancel this bet anytime you want to. Field Bets - These bets are for one dice roll only. If a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12 is rolled you win. A 5, 6, 7 and 8 make you lose. Field Bets have the following different payoffs: 2 pays double (2:1) while 12 pays 3:1. Other winning dice rolls pay even (1:1). Big Six, Big Eight Bets - Placed at any roll of dice these bets win if a 6 or 8 comes out before a 7 is rolled. Big Six and Big Eight are even bets and are paid at 1:1. Proposition Bets - These bets can be made at any time and, except for the hard way, they are all one roll bets: Any Bovada craps: Wins if a 2, 3 or 12 is thrown. Payoff 8:1 - Any Seven: Wins if a 7 is rolled. Payoff 5:1 - Eleven: Wins if an 11 is thrown. Payoff 16:1 - Ace Duece: Wins if a 3 is rolled. Payoff 16:1 - Aces or Boxcars: Wins if a 2 or 12 is thrown. Payoff 30:1 Horn Bet: it acts as the bets on 2, 3, 11 and 12 all at once. Wins if one of these numbers is rolled. The payoff is determined according to the number rolled. The other three bets are lost. Hardways: The bet on a hardware number wins if it's thrown hard (sum of pairs: 1-1, 3-3, 4-4...) before it's rolled easy and a 7 is thrown. Payoffs: Hard 4 and 10, 8:1; Hard 6 and 8, 10:1Play now Craps is one of the most popular and exciting casino games in the United States. It originated during the steamboat era on the Mississippi River in the 1800s. The game's popularity shows no signs of slowing down.
The main attraction craps has for players is the excitement. No other table game is as fast-paced, noisy, or adrenaline-filled. If you're the type of person who enjoys roller coasters and scary movies, craps is the casino game for you.
The game only seems complicated at first. Once you've done a little bit of studying, it will seem like simplicity itself. If you're playing at a land-based casino, consider attending one of the free classes. Most casinos offer these classes every day. This tutorial is a good introduction to the game.
The action at the craps table starts when a player makes what's called the 'come-out roll'. The basic two bets are the 'pass' the 'don't pass' bets. If the shooter rolls a 7 or an 11, you win if you made the pass bet. If the shooter rolls a 2, 3, or 12, you win if you made the don't pass bet, and you lose if you made the pass bet.
If the shooter rolls any other total, it sets a point. The shooter's goal is then to roll the point number again before rolling a 7. If the shooter succeeds, you win the pass bet. If the shooter fails, the don't pass bet wins and the pass bet loses.
A shooter gets to play until she fails to make a point. When that happens, the next player at the table gets to take over as the shooter. The dice pass around the table this way.
The other important bet to understand at the craps table is called the 'odds bet'. You can only place this bet after the shooter has set a pointif the shooter wins or loses on the first roll, you can't take the odds bet.
The odds bet is a second bet that you place on the table behind your original pass or don't pass bet. It has to be a multiple of your original bet, and casinos have limits to how large you can bet. The exciting thing about the odds bet is that it pays off at true odds, which means the house edge on this particular bet is 0.
This is the only bet you can make in a casino with a house edge of exactly 0.
The payoff for the odds bet depends on the point that's been set. If the point is 4 or 10, then the odds bet pays off at 2 to 1. If the point if 5 or 9, then the odds bet pays out at 3 to 2. And if the point is 6 or 8, the odds bet pays off at 6 to 5. In all those cases, those are the actual odds of winning the bet.
Of course, those are only three bets out of over one hundred different bets available at the craps table. Understand that the house edge on all of the other bets on the table is higher. So stick with the pass/don't pass bet with or without the odds bet.
Craps Odds
Understanding the odds in real-money craps is easier than you think. You only have 11 possible totals when you roll two dice. The number of ways you can roll each of these totals determines the odds of getting that total.
For example, there is only one way to roll a 2, and there is only one way to roll a 12. You have to get a 1 on each die or a 6 on each die, respectively. That makes the odds of getting either of those totals 35 to 1.
From there, the odds improve. You have two ways of rolling a 3 and two ways of rolling an 11. (You can roll either a 1+2 or a 2+1, or you can roll either a 5+6 or a 6+5.) So the odds of getting either of these totals is 17 to 1.
All told, there are 36 possible combinations of dice that can make these 11 different totals. To calculate the odds of rolling a specific total, you simply divide 36 by the number of combinations which will make that total. For example, there are three ways to roll a total of 4. (1+3, 3+1, or 2+2). So the probability is 1 in 12 that you'll get a total of 4. Converting that to odds is easy. You state the number of ways something that can't happen. Then you state the number of ways it can happen. In this case, the odds are 11 to 1.
The house makes its money by paying out at odds that are less than your odds of winning. For example, if you bet that the next roll is going to be a 2, then the odds of that happening are 35 to 1. But the payoff is 30 to 1.
In a mathematically perfect session, you would win once in 36 bets, but you would only get paid 30 units. It's easy to see how the casino makes money when you think about it that way.

Tips for Real-Money Craps Play
The best craps tip anyone can offer you is to stick with the pass or don't pass bet, and take the free odds whenever you can. The house edge is a little over 1% for the initial pass or don't pass bet, but when you take odds, this gets lower.
For example, at many casinos, you can only place a bet equal to your original bet when you take the odds bet. For the pass line bet + free odds, the house edge goes down to 0.85%, making this one of the most attractive bets in the casino.
Most casinos will limit your action on the odds bet to five times your original pass/don't pass bet. In that case, the house edge is 0.33%. You might occasionally find a casino which allows you to bet 100X your initial bet. If you do, then the house edge is a miniscule 0.02%.
Craps Strategy
One other craps strategy that bears mentioning is dice control. The idea is that a skilled player can affect the odds of certain totals coming up. Since craps has such a low house edge, a small percentage change in the likelihood of certain totals coming up can affect your chances of winning.
I'm not convinced that dice control is possible. But legitimate gambling experts like Michael Shackleford have expressed at least a little interest in the possibility.
Real Money Craps Online
You can't control the dice when playing real money craps online. But it sure is a lot of fun anyway. I miss the sights and sounds of the other players. But new players who want to get a feel for how the various bets work should try playing for real money at an online casino.
Real money craps casinos offer signup bonuses to new cash players to encourage them to sign up. For example, Bovada Casino, which is one of my top choices, offers a deposit bonus of up to $3000 when you deposit $3000. Being able to play with a bankroll of $6000 when you've only put up $3000 is an attractive option for any craps player.

Some casinos, like Slots.lv, even offer bonus cash so that you can play for real money without even making a deposit. They're currently running a bonus special where you can get $22 to play withno deposit required.
