Odds on a Line Bet.
|
Odds bets are a very good option for the player as the house advantage is small. Odds bets are additional bets made after the shooter has established point. Pass Line Odds Bets are made after you make a wager on the Pass Line. Then if a Point is rolled, you can back up your bet by taking the odds on the Point. To make this bet you place your additional chips an inch or two behind your original Pass-Line bet. Come Bet Odds Bets are made after you make a wager on the Pass Line. Then if a Point is rolled, you can back up your bet by taking the odds on the Point. For this wager you drop your chips in front of the dealer and say "Odds on my Come Point". The dealer will then place your bet. Don't Pass Odds Bets are made after you make a wager on a Don't Pass. Then if a Point is rolled, you can back up your bet by laying the odds on the Point. To make this bet you place your additional chips next to your Don't Pass bet. Don't Come Odds Bets are made after you make a wager on a Don't Pass. Then if a Point is rolled, you can back up your bet by layingthe odds on the Point. - For this wager you drop your chips in front of the dealer and say "Odds on my Don't Come". The dealer will then place your bet. Place Bets are made on the numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 and have nothing to do with the Point number. Once made a Place bet is always on except for the Come-out roll when they are always off, unless you tell the dealer differently. If a 7 is rolled before your Place number - you lose. If your Place number is rolled before a 7 - you win. To make this bet lay your chips down in front of the dealer and say, "Place the Six (or other number), please". Buy Bets are made on the numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 similar to Place bets. Again you are betting that the shooter will roll your number before he/she rolls a 7. A Buy bet is determined in the following manner. If a 7 is rolled before your Buy number - you lose. If your Buy number is rolled before a 7 - you win. To make this bet lay your chips down in front of the dealer and say "Buy the 6 (or other number), please". Lay Bets are the opposite of Buy bets. If your Lay number is rolled before a 7 - you lose. If a 7 is rolled before your Lay number - you win. To make this bet pass the dealer your chips and say "Lay the odds on the Six (or other number)". Big Six or Big Eight Bets If a 7 is rolled before a 6 or an 8 - you lose. If a 6 or an 8 is rolled before a 7 - you win. You can make this bet yourself by placing you wager in the Big Six or Big Eight section of the table layout. Hard Four Bets or Hard Ten Bets Hard Four can be rolled only one way (2, 2), and Hard Ten only rolled one way (5, 5) You are betting that the shooter will roll a Hard Four or a Hard Ten (whichever you have chosen) before seven, and before any other combination of four (for Hard Four) or ten (for Hard Ten) To make these bets you pass your chips to the stickman. In Craps, winning or losing depends on a variety of different possible outcomes on any roll of the two dice. The two dice can produce many different number combinations; some can be made several ways, others only one way. For example, two dice can roll the number 6 as follows: 5/1, 4/2, 3/3, 2/4 and 1/5. But the number 2 can only be rolled one way: 1/1. If any other number rolls you lose. This bet is placed in the area marked "Field" on the layout. Unless other Proposition bets, you have to wager the equivalent to a Pass or Don't line bet. For example, if the minimum Pass line bet is $5.00, you must wager at least this amount for a Field bet.
Craps is very easy to play. The current player rolls a seven and the game starts. After the current player rolls a seven a new player is given the dice. Before rolling the dice the new player has to make a bet. Players can make either a pass line or don’t pass line bet. ‘Comeout roll’ is another name for the process of rolling the dice. If the player rolls 7 or 11 he is said to have made a pass. Pass line bets win if a pass is made. It is called ‘craps’ if the total rolled is 2,3,12. In the case of craps don’t pass line bets win, pass line bets lose. Don't pass line bets do not win if the "craps" number is a 12 in Las Vegas or a 2 in Reno and Tahoe. If the total is any other number this number is called a place number or a point number. In the case of a ‘point’ the shooter continues to roll until that "point" is rolled again, which is called "making the point". With "making the point" "pass line" bets win and "don't pass" bets lose. ’Sevening out’ is the same as rolling a 7. If a 7 is rolled before the second point number "pass line" bets lose and "don't pass" bets win. If a player sevens out, his turn is over and the whole process begins again with a new player. In the case of a “point” number players can choose one of the bets. You can make bets on each subsequent roll of the dice until a 7 is rolled.
There are several bets in Craps. The Buy Bet allows you to bet directly on a point-number without making a Pass Line or Come bet. Buy bets pay correct odds but you 5% will be taken out by the house. A buy bet wins if the number rolls before a 7. To make a Buy Bet you have to click on one of the numbers of the table. Buy bet is turned off by default during a come out roll. To force the bet on, hold down the shift key and click directly on the bet.

A Come Bet is made when the shooter is going to repeat the point number. To make a come bet you have to click on the COME area of the craps table. If the shooter rolls a 7 or a 11 you win. If the shooter has craps you lose. If there is a point number the bet is moved from the come area to the point-box indicating the point-number that the shooter must roll for that bet to win. If the point-number is rolled before a 7, you win. If you win in Come Bet the payout is 1:1. Odds bet on the Come bet. If you make an odds bet on the come bet you bet that the shooter will repeat the point-number before rolling 7. You get paid 2:1 if you win with the point 4 or 10. If the point number is 5 or 9 the payoff is 3:2. If the point number is 6 or 8 the payout is 6:5. Big 6 and Big 8 bets are like regular place bets. Big 6 and Big 8 bets pay even money. Big 6 and Big 8 bets are turned off by default during a come out roll. To force the bet on, hold down the shift key and click directly on the bet.
