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.
+
The energy is infectious, drawing crowds of spectators eager to watch the "shooter" roll the dice.
+
Despite the fun atmosphere, the layout of a Craps table appears incredibly confusing to anyone who hasn't played before.
+
The truth is that while the table looks complex, the core game is actually very simple to understand and play.
+
In this article, we will break down the absolute basics of Craps so you can confidently approach the table.
+The Basics: The Come-Out Roll and The Point +
A new game begins when a player (the shooter) takes the dice and rolls them across the table for the first time.
+
The entire goal of the Come-Out roll is to establish a "Point" number for the rest of the round.
+
Once the Point is established, the dealer places a large white puck labeled "ON" above that number on the table.
+
The goal is now to hit the established target number before rolling a 7.
+
Rolling a 7 ends the round immediately, sweeping away the bets on the table, and the dice pass to the next player.
+The Only Two Bets a Beginner Needs +
While there are dozens of exotic bets on the table, beginners should focus exclusively on the Pass Line bet.
+
You place your Pass Line bet immediately before the Come-Out roll occurs.
+
If any other number is rolled, it becomes the Point, and your bet stays on the Pass Line.
+
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.
+
Betting the Pass Line means you are playing with the crowd, cheering for the shooter to succeed.
+The Best Bet in the Entire Casino +
This secondary bet is known as "Taking the Odds," and it is completely unmarked on the table felt.
+
The Odds bet is unique because the casino pays out at exactly true mathematical odds, meaning there is zero house edge.
+
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.
+
Most casinos allow you to place Odds bets equal to 3x, 4x, or even 5x your original Pass Line wager.
+
You simply place your extra chips directly behind your Pass Line chips after the Come-Out roll to utilize this tactic.
