<br>If you walk onto any physical [casino](http://www.hmedi02.net:10080/aguedapittard0/betman-casino7337/wiki/Maximizing+Casino+Loyalty+Programs) floor, the loudest and most energetic area is almost always the Craps table.<br>
<br>The energy is infectious, drawing crowds of spectators eager to watch the "shooter" roll the dice.<br>
<br>Despite the fun atmosphere, the layout of a Craps table appears incredibly confusing to anyone who hasn't played before.<br>
<br>The truth is that while the table looks complex, the core game is actually very simple to understand and play.<br>
<br>In this article, we will break down the absolute basics of Craps so you can confidently approach the table.<br>
The Basics: The Come-Out Roll and The Point
<br>A new game begins when a player (the shooter) takes the dice and rolls them across the table for the first time.<br>
<br>The entire goal of the Come-Out roll is to establish a "Point" number for the rest of the round.<br>
<br>Once the Point is established, the dealer places a large white puck labeled "ON" above that number on the table.<br>
<br>The goal is now to hit the established target number before rolling a 7.<br>
<br>Rolling a 7 ends the round immediately, sweeping away the bets on the table, and the dice pass to the next player.<br>
The Only Two Bets a Beginner Needs
<br>While there are dozens of exotic bets on the table, beginners should focus exclusively on the Pass Line bet.<br>
<br>You place your Pass Line bet immediately before the Come-Out roll occurs.<br>
<br>If any other number is rolled, it becomes the Point, and your bet stays on the Pass Line.<br>
<br>The Don't Pass bet is the exact opposite: you win on a Come-Out 2 or 3, and win if a 7 rolls before the Point.<br>
<br>Betting the Pass Line means you are playing with the crowd, cheering for the shooter to succeed.<br>
The Best Bet in the Entire Casino
<br>This secondary bet is known as "Taking the Odds," and it is completely unmarked on the table felt.<br>
<br>The Odds bet is unique because the casino pays out at exactly true mathematical odds, meaning there is zero house edge.<br>
<br>If you Take the Odds on a Point of 4 and win, the casino pays you exactly 2 to 1 on that specific portion of your bet.<br>
<br>Most casinos allow you to place Odds bets equal to 3x, 4x, or even 5x your original Pass Line wager.<br>
<br>You simply place your extra chips directly behind your Pass Line chips after the Come-Out roll to utilize this tactic.<br>
Essential Craps Lingo
Shooter: The player currently throwing the dice.
Establishing the Point: The primary goal of the initial throw.
Target Number: Marked by the ON puck. The number needed to win Pass Line bets.
Seven Out: Rolling a 7 after the Point is established. The round ends and everyone loses.
Taking Odds: Placing a secondary bet behind the Pass Line with zero house edge.
