| Gambling is such an exciting pastime. Places like Monte Carlo, Atlantic City and of course the beautiful and sometimes sinful Las Vegas are always full of people who are just so excited about gambling. People that go there for vacations or weekend getaways, people that live there are out on the town to do a little gambling and blow off a little steam at the end of a work week and even people who are in town for some sort of celebration are just ready to have a good time. Gambling can consist of many games and as soon as you enter onto a casino floor you can feel all of the excitement. Walking the casino floors you can see all of the people that are gambling and having a great time. Stopping to watch some tables can be fun for a little bit and when you decide to head over to the loudest and most exciting table it will probably be the craps table. At the craps table you will hear the gamblers yelling and being quite rowdy. You may see a lot of high fives and a lot of cheering going on. The craps table is probably the table with the highest energy in the whole casino and that is where everyone wants to be. However there are many people that dare not venture over to the craps table and that is out of fear. They fear the not knowing how to play craps. But that is easily fixed. Now one of the most important things for anyone to remember about playing craps is that the odds are probably the best for the player in the whole casino. You see any bet on the pass line will give 1.41 odds. That is some pretty low house odds and how can you pass that up, I will tell you, you can not pass it up so you may as well start learning how to play craps and become one of those screaming people that you see and hear in the casino. There is a ton of different ways that you can bet when you are playing craps but when you are first starting out all you really have to do is worry about the pass line betting. That is all. Because even thought there are a lot of ways that you can place a bet many of them have just horrible odds and are not even worth betting. But every now and again it is quite exciting just to put down a crazy bet and maybe you will just win it. Buy by playing safe at first you can still have a whole lot of fun when you are playing craps. You will want to place your pass line bet before the shooter rolls his or her first roll of the dice or what is called their come out roll. So once your bet is placed the rules are simple. If the shooter rolls a seven or an eleven you win. If the shooter rolls a two, a three, or a twelve you lose the bet. However if the shooter rolls any other number that number then becomes the point. Once a point is established the shooter rolls again. Now if the shooter rolls the point number again before they rolls another seven you win the bet. If the shooter throws a seven though before the point number is rolled you lose the bet. That is it and that is not very difficult at all now is it. Once you get the basics of craps you can play along just like everyone else and get crazy while you are playing. |
