To the uninitiated, the craps table is easily the most intimidating spot on the casino floor.
Despite its complex appearance, the fundamental rules of craps are surprisingly straightforward.
The Most Important Craps Bet
The Pass Line bet is the foundation upon which the entire game of craps is built.
If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 on the come-out roll, your Pass Line bet wins immediately.

Establishing and Hitting the Point
If any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) is rolled, that number becomes the "Point."
If the shooter successfully hits the Point before a 7, your Pass Line bet wins.
Maximizing Your Craps Winnings
Placing an Odds bet behind your Pass Line wager is mathematically the smartest move possible.
Taking full odds is the secret strategy used by all professional craps players.
