A Trainee’s Article For Playing Craps Online
Playing craps can be very confusing for beginners. Craps can get into some very complicated betting strategies and players make or lose a lot of money in the process. Online casino gambling is no different, unless you are playing a free online casino that offers craps you can play with play money or on a freeroll game.
Since learning even just the basics is difficult, this article will only focus on those basics. Later, after you’ve become a pro with these simple strategies, then you may want to learn more about some of the more complex betting strategies. You may also want to try out those advanced techniques at that time using free play money at a free online casino.
In live casino games, it is very fast moving and takes four different dealers and a shooter to play. On the free online casino websites, the shooter may rotate around the table and the computer does much of the work on paying out winning bets and collecting losing ones.
The basic bet in craps is called the “pass line.” Alternatively, you can choose the “don’t pass” line-and that means you’re betting against the people who are betting on the “pass line” bet. The first roll is called a “come out” roll. That roll sets the number the shooter wants to roll again before “crapping” out with a 7 on the dice. When the “come out” roll is being tossed, a black “off” marker is shown. If an 11 or a 7 is rolled on the dice during the “come out” roll, you’ll win even money. After that you don’t want to roll a 7 until after you roll the same number as is on the “point” or “come out” roll.
On the come out roll, if you roll a 2, 3 or 12, which is called “craps”, you lose. If you roll 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that is your point that you have to roll again before the 7. So, the game starts with you using the “pass line” to place your bet, betting on hitting the point before hitting a 7. If you use the “don’t pass” line, it means you are betting that a 7 will hit before hitting the point number.
Let’s look at an online casino gambling scenario to illustrate the point:
First the dealer puts the black “off” marker out so everyone can place their bets. Then the shooter rolls for the “come out” dice. He gets a 7 so that means everyone wins their bet-unless they placed a “don’t pass” bet. The players who did that actually lose.
Now it’s a new round and the dealer puts the black “off” marker out again. People place bets. But in this case the shooter rolls a 5 on the dice for the “come out.” The dealer will then flip over the black “off” marker so it shows the white “on” side and he’ll put it by the 5 on the board. The shooter rolls several times and finally succeeds in rolling a 5 on the dice without getting a 7. Again, everyone wins-unless they bet on the “don’t pass.”
This time, the process starts over and the shooter rolls a 6. The white “on” marker goes on the 6, but the shooter rolls several times and finally rolls a 7, with no 6 coming up first. Everybody loses except for the bettors on the “don’t pass” line and they win.
Online casino gambling playing craps can be much more complex than this, however, it’s a good idea to figure out how to play this game using a free online casino where you don’t bet real money and to get confident in betting with the basics before getting more advanced.
