Craps: Button and Table Bet Descriptions

When placing a basic craps bet, an online casino player is just placing a wager that the person who is rolling the dice will roll the number that he needs to win. You are in no way in competition with the person rolling the dice. In fact, you are just betting on how lucky that person is with the dice. The online casino on the other hand is hoping that the person rolling the dice isn't too lucky.

As far a betting is concerned, a player should understand the table betting descriptions whether you choose to play at an online casino or in your favorite land-based casino.

In placing your bet with the online craps game, you need to select the amount that you would like to bet with each click. Click on the chip amount and this will be added to the “Amount to bet per click” section.

Once you have the correct amount click on the region of the table for the type of bet you wish to place. You may change the amount that you bet on different sections by changing the amount in the “Amount to bet per click” section. The chips will be placed on the table. Green areas indicate bets that can be placed, conversely, red areas indicate bets that cannot be made.

To remove a bet from the table right click on the bet. The amount of chips will be removed from the stack on the table.

Clicking on the Roll button after placing a bet starts a new round and sets the dice in motion. After the dice come to a rest, losing bets are removed from the table, and winning bets are paid. For winning bets, the original bet amount is returned after the winnings are paid out. Also, any bets that tie (push) are returned.

Then when you click the the repeat button it will repeat all the bets made on the previous round that can be validly placed now. On the other hand, the clear button removes all the bets on the table that can be reviewed. Most bets can be removed, added to, or deducted from at any time. Exceptions would be the Pass and Come bets, and you cannot exceed the maximum bet on the odds.

When moving the cursor over the bet regions, a yellow “tag” will appear that gives the name of the bet, the current amount placed for that bet, and the minimum and maximum amounts that can be placed on that bet. If a green highlight appears in a region, that indicates this bet can be placed or changed. If a red highlight appears, this bet cannot be increased.

Lets now talk about the betting options that almost all online casino players would want to know. Starting with the “Pass Line” which is the most fundamental bet in Craps that almost every player at the table bets on it. It is the even money that you bet. Start by placing your bet on the Pass Line area on the table on a Come out roll. If the Come out roll is a 7 or 11 you win, which is also called a “natural”. If the Come out roll is a 2, 3, or 12 you lose. If any Point is rolled on the Come out roll if the Point is rolled again before a 7 you win. If a 7 comes before the Point you lose.

Next is the “Come Bet”, this is like the Pass Line bet but may be made at any time. Like the Pass Line bet you might also put money on the odds if a Point is thrown on the first roll after the Come bet is placed.

Just a reminder, if a Point is thrown and there are still active Come bets on the table waiting for a different Point, then special rules apply for the following Come out roll. The Come out roll will still apply to active Come bets, but it will not apply to their respective odds bets. In the event a Come bet is resolved on a Come out roll then the odds bet will be returned, while the original Come bet will be lost.

Then there is the “Don’t Pass” it is almost the opposite of the Pass Line bet. If the Come out roll is a 2 or 3 then you win, a 7 or 11 you lose. A 12 is a push. Otherwise the dice are rolled over and over until either the Point or a 7 is rolled. If the 7 comes before the Point you win.

An online craps player betting on the Don't Pass is not the bet of choice by many players, since this bet is betting against the shooter. This is also called a "wrong" bettor and is usually winning when everyone else is losing, and vice versa.

And the Don’t Come. What the Don't Pass is to the Pass, the Don’t Come is to the Come. If the shooter rolls a 2 or 3, you win. A 12 constitutes a tie. You lose on 7 or 11. Any other number is the “Come Point”. You win if a seven is rolled before the Come Point and lose if the Come Point is rolled before a 7 is rolled.
