The player who's current go it is, is called the shooter. The shooter wins if he rolls a 7 or 11 and this is entitled 'Natural' and he loses if he rolls a 2, 3 or a 12. This is known as 'craps' and it is where the name gets its name from. Rolling any of the remaining numbers (4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10) is known as the 'point'. If the shooter achieves point on his first roll, he must roll again, if he achieves point again, then rolls again and rolls a 7 then he wins. If a 7 is rolled after the first point then the shooter loses and the dice are passed on to the next person. The next person will then become the shooter.

Overview Where there is noise, there is craps. This exciting, energetic dice rolling usually draws the attention of many casino regulars and visitors alike. Wagers are placed on certain number combinations being displayed when two dice are rolled and come to rest. The craps tables usually draw the attention of many casino regulars and visitors alike.

Craps can be an intimidating game for the beginner. The table seems to have about a hundred different kinds of bets. Critical to the understanding of craps is that it is a game of rounds. The first roll in a round is called the come out roll. Sometimes the outcome of a round will be determined on the come out roll. In particular a 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12 on the come out roll immediately ends a round. If any other total is rolled (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) that number is called the point. The dealer will place a white puck on an area of the table to designate what the point is, in case you forget. If a point is rolled the dice will be rolled continuously until the same point is rolled again or a 7.

The Hedge Betting craps strategy consists of placing a bet that almost entirely cancels out another one. Almost any roll will bring you profit (a small one, but a profit) in online craps. You'll lose when the dice roll is not covered by the hedge bet. Besides the fact you get to play online craps longer because your bets have now a smaller risk, this method will substantially increase your comps (complimentaries offered by the online casino) Almost any bet can be turned into a hedge bet. For example, a pass line bet can be hedged from craps (2, 3, 12) by betting the proposition bet any craps . More, you can make place bets before the come out and hedged them by the pass line bet.
