Online Craps
Throwing the cubes and hoping for good numbers is the essence of online
craps. Craps is a gambling game played at almost every house, even if
no money is involved.
Online Craps
The first roll of the dice in an online Craps round is called the "Come
Out Roll". The basic opening bet in Craps, which is placed just before
the Come Out Roll, is called the "Pass Line Bet." Pass Line Bets are instant
winners when the shooter's Come Out Roll is 7 or 11, and lose when the
Come Out Roll is 2 (Snake Eyes), 3 (Cross Eyes), or 12 (Box Cars). If
4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 are rolled on the Come Out Roll, that number becomes
"The Point". "The Puck" (a small round plastic marker labeled "ON" in
this case and "OFF" in other cases) shows in online craps that The Point
has been established, and is located on the Craps table over the box for
the number rolled as The Point: "4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10". To end a
round of Craps and resolve Pass Line Bets, the shooter must roll either
the Point or 7 after the Come Out Roll. The possibility exists for a Craps
round to continue all night, if the shooter fails to roll the Point or
a 7 before the sun rises. Pass Line Bets cannot win until the Point is
rolled, and cannot lose until a 7 is rolled. Because unresolved Pass Line
Bets may not be removed, players must wait for a roll of the Point or
7 to determine the outcome of their Pass Line Bets.
The Different Bets
Before the dice are rolled, bets can be placed in various fields of the
Craps Table. First, using your left mouse button, click on the value of
the chip you wish to wager. Next, place the chip in the desired betting
area on the Craps Table by clicking in the area, using your left mouse
button again. Should you wish to alter or remove a bet, click on your
wagered chips with your right mouse button. Please note that some bets
may not be removed. Once you have finish placing your bets, click on the
"ROLL" button to roll the craps dice.

Pass Line Bets
A Pass Line Bet is placed in the area labeled "PASS LINE," before the
Come Out Roll (i.e. the first roll of the dice in a new Craps round).
A wager on the Pass Line wins if the Come Out Roll is 7 or 11, and loses
if 2, 3 or 12 is rolled. If 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 are rolled, that number
becomes "The Point." To win a Pass Line Bet, the shooter must roll The
Point again before rolling a 7. If the shooter rolls a 7 before rolling
The Point again, your Pass Line Bet loses. A winning Pass Line Bet pays
even money (1 to 1). Once The Point has been established, unresolved Pass
Line Bets may not be removed or reduced. Pass Line Bets must be resolved
by a roll of The Point or a 7.
BackToTop
Don't Pass Line Bets:
A Don't Pass Line Bet is essentially the reverse of a Pass Line Bet, and
is placed on the Craps Table in the "DON'T PASS BAR" area, before the
Come Out Roll. If the shooter rolls 2 or 3 on the Come Out Roll, a Don't
Pass Line Bet wins. However, if the Come Out Roll is 7 or 11, all Don't
Pass Line Bets lose. If the Come Out Roll is 12, Don't Pass Line Bets
are returned to the player, in a Push. If the Come Out Roll is 4, 5, 6,
8, 9, or 10, that number becomes The Point. Once The Point has been established,
Don't Pass Line Bet win if the shooter rolls a 7 before rolling The Point
again. If the shooter rolls The Point again, before rolling a 7, Don't
Pass Line Bets lose. A winning Don't Pass Line Bet pays even money (1
to 1). Unlike Pass Line Bets, unresolved Don't Pass Line Bets may be removed
or reduced. To remove this bet click the right mouse button on the chips.
If you have placed an Odds Bet as well, a single right button click will
remove the Odds Bet, and an additional click will remove the Don't Pass
Line Bet.
BackToTop
Come Bets:
A Come Bet is placed in the "COME" bar area, before any roll of the dice,
once The Point has been established by the Come Out Roll. The rules for
Come Bets are essentially the same as Pass Line Bets. Come Bets win if
the shooter's next roll is 7 or 11, and lose if the roll is 2, 3, or 12.
If the shooter rolls 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes "The Come
Point," and the dealer will move the Come Bet from the "COME" bar to the
box corresponding to the established Come Point: "4, 5, six, 8, nine,
or 10". If the shooter rolls the Come Point again, before rolling a 7,
the Come Bet pays even money. The Come Bet will stay in place until the
come point, or a 7 is rolled. Similarly to the Pass Line Bet, unresolved
Come Bets may not be removed or reduced. They must be resolved by a roll
of the come point or a 7.
BackToTop
Don't Come Bets:
A Don't Come Bet is essentially the opposite of a Come Bet, which is placed
after the Come Out Roll in the "DON'T COME" bar area. Don't Come Bets
win when the shooter's next roll is 2 or 3, and lose if the roll is 7
or 11. If the shooter rolls a 12, the bet will be returned to the player
in a Push. If the roll is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes "The
Come Point," and the dealer will move the Don't Come Bet from the "Don't
Come Bar" to the left corner of the narrow, uppermost bar over the box
corresponding to the Come Point: "4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10". After the
Come Point is established, Don't Come Bets win even money if 7 is rolled,
and lose if the Come Point is rolled. Don't Come Bets will stay in place
until the Come Point, or a 7 is rolled. However, unresolved Don't Come
Bets may be removed.

Odds Bets
An "Odds Bet" is a "Back Up" bet on an original Pass Line Bet, Don't Pass
Line Bet, Come Bet, or Don't Come Bet. The maximum Odds Bet is 3 times
your original bet.
BackToTop
Pass Line Odds Bets
After The Point has been established, a Pass Line Odds Bet is placed by
clicking the left mouse button on the Craps Table, outside the "PASS LINE"
bar, under your original Pass Line Bet. A winning Pass Line Odds Bet pays
true odds: 2 to 1 on a roll of 4 or 10, 3 to 2 on a roll of 5 or 9, and
6 to 5 on a roll of 6 or 8. Unlike the original Pass Line Bet, an unresolved
Pass Line Odds Bet may be removed.
BackToTop
Don't Pass Line Odds Bets:
Once The Point has been established, a Don't Pass Line Odds Bet is placed
by clicking your left mouse button anywhere on the "DON'T PASS BAR" area.
A winning Don't Pass Line Odds Bet pays true odds: 1 to 2 on a roll of
4 or 10, 2 to 3 on a roll of 5 or 9, and 5 to 6 on a roll of 6 or 8. An
unresolved Don't Pass Line Odds Bet may be removed by clicking the right
mouse button.
BackToTop
Come Odds Bets
Once the Come Point has been established, a Come Odds Bet is placed by
clicking your left mouse button directly under your Come Bet, within the
box that corresponds to the Come Point: "4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10". A
winning Come Odds Bet pays true odds: 2 to 1 on a roll of 4 or 10, 3 to
2 on a roll of 5 or 9, and 6 to 5 on a roll of 6 or 8. Unlike the original
Come Bet, an unresolved Come Odds Bet may be removed.
BackToTop
Don't Come Odds Bets:
Once the Come Point has been established, an Odds Bet is placed on your
Don't Come Bet by clicking in the space directly under your Don't Come
Bet, within the narrow, uppermost bar. This bar in craps is above the
box that corresponds to the Come Point: "4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10". A
winning Don't Come Odds Bet pays true odds: 1 to 2 on a roll of 4 or 10,
2 to 3 on a roll of 5 or 9, and 5 to 6 on a roll of 6 or 8. An unresolved
Don't Come Odds bet may be removed.

Field Bets
A Field Bet in online craps is a bet that the next roll of the dice will
be 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12. It is placed in the "FIELD" bar area, before
any roll of the dice. If the next roll is 3, 4, 9, 10 or 11, the Field
Bet wins even money. If 2 is rolled, the Field Bet wins 2 to 1. If 12
is rolled the Field Bet wins 3 to 1. If 5, 6, 7, or 8 is rolled, the Field
Bet is lost.

Big 6 and Big 8 Bets:
A Big 6 Bet is a bet that 6 will be rolled before 7. Equally, a Big 8
bet is a bet that 8 will be rolled before 7. A Big 6 or a Big 8 bet is
placed in either the "6" or "8" box, which is located in the left corner
of the craps table. A Big 6 or Big 8 bet wins even money if the shooter
rolls a 6 or 8 before rolling 7. Unresolved Big 6 and Big 8 bets may be
removed
BackToTop
Place Bets:
There are two types of place bets:
1. A Place Win Bet is a bet that either 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 will be rolled
before a 7. A Place Win Bet is placed in the narrow, unlabeled bar located
just under the box with the corresponding number on the Craps Table: "4,
5, six, 8, nine, or 10". Winning Place Win Bets are paid according to
the following ratios: 7 to 6 on numbers 6 and 8, 7 to 5 on numbers 5 and
9, and 9 to 5 on numbers 4 and 10.
2. A Place Lose Bet is a bet that 7 will be rolled before either 4, 5,
6, 8, 9, or 10. A Place Lose Bet is placed in the right-hand side of the
narrow, unlabeled bar located just above the box with the corresponding
number on the craps table: "4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10". Winning Place
Lose Bets are paid according to the following ratios: 4 to 5 on numbers
6 and 8, 5 to 8 on numbers 5 and 9, and 5 to 11 on numbers 4 and 10.
BackToTop
Buy Bets:
A "Buy Bet" is a bet that either 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 will be rolled before
7. A Buy Bet is placed in the box (labeled "BUY") corresponding to the
number on the Craps Table: "4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10". A vigorish (vig.)
of 5% is charged on your profit from this bet. Buy Bet winnings are then
paid at true odds: 6 to 5 on numbers 6 and 8, 3 to 2 on numbers 5 and
9, and 2 to 1 on numbers 4 and 10.
BackToTop
Lay Bets:
A "Lay Bet" is essentially the reverse of a Buy Bet. A Lay Bet is a bet
that 7 will be rolled before 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. The Lay Bet is placed
in the top bar (labeled "LAY") above the box corresponding to the number
on the Craps Table: "4, 5, six, 8, nine, or 10". A vigorish (vig.) of
5% is charged on your profit from this bet. Lay Bet winnings are then
paid at true odds: 5 to 6 on numbers 6 and 8, 2 to 3 on numbers 5 and
9, and 1 to 2 on numbers 4 and 10. Unresolved Lay Bets may be removed.
BackToTop
Any 7 Bets:
An "Any 7 Bet" is a bet that the next roll of the dice will be a 7. It
is placed on any roll of the dice, in the "SEVEN" field on the craps table.
If 7 is rolled, you win 4 times your bet.
BackToTop
Any Craps Bets:
An "Any Craps Bet" is a bet that the next roll of the dice will be 2,
3, or 12. It is placed on any roll of the dice, in the "ANY CRAPS" field
on the craps table. If 2, 3, or 12 is rolled, you win 7 times your bet.
BackToTop
Horn Bets:
The "horn" bet is one roll bet by which you are betting that 2, 3, 11
or 12 will appear on the next roll of the dice. This bet box is placed
in the center of the "one roll" layout. If 3 or 11 is rolled, the bet
pays 3 to 1.If 2 or 12 is rolled, the bet pays 7 to 1 minus one fourth
of the bet. For example. If you bet a $4 horn and a 2 is rolled, you will
win $4 X 7 = $28 - (1/4 of $4) $1 = $27.00. To put in another way: Let's
assume you bet $1 on the 2, 3, 11 and 12 prop bets. If you win on the
roll of a 2, you will be paid $30. However, you also lost $3 on the 2,
3, 12 and thus your net win will be $27.
BackToTop
Hardway Bets:
A "Hardway Bet" is a bet that the shooter will roll either a 4, 6, 8,
or 10 as doubles (2+2, 3+3, 4+4, or 5+5) before rolling a 7. The Hardway
Bet is placed in the box on the Craps Table containing the two illustrated
dice corresponding to the number. Rolling a number by doubles is said
to be rolling the number "The Hard Way." For example, a roll of 4+4 is
called a "Hard 8," while a roll of 5+3 or 6+2 is called an "Easy 8." A
winning Hardway Bet pays 7 to 1 on numbers 4 and 10 and 9 to 1 on numbers
6 and 8. If you roll an "Easy" before rolling a "Hard" you lose your bet.
Unresolved Hardway Bets may be removed.
