Craps is the most social game on any casino floor — and the one that looks most intimidating from a distance. The table is covered in dozens of bet types with cryptic labels, the jargon flies fast, and new players often freeze before making a single wager. The reality is simpler: nearly every round is decided by just two outcomes — does the shooter hit the point before rolling a seven, or not? The pass line is the backbone of the game, and a player who bets pass line, backs it with a free odds bet, and adds one or two place numbers has a complete, mathematically sound strategy. This guide walks through the come-out roll, how points are set, the difference between pass and don't-pass, why place bets on six and eight are the best numbers on the layout, and which proposition bets drain your stack fastest. Start simple, learn the rhythm, and you'll read the table like a regular within a few sessions.
