The main objective is to predict accurately the outcome of the roll of a pair of dice. A player can place a bet either for him to win or for the dealer to win. Craps is a complicated game of betting and there are different kinds of bets a player can place; notable among these are the ‘pass line’ bets, ‘don’t pass line’ bets, ‘come’ bets, ‘don’t come’ bets.

A ‘pass line’ bet is even money bet carrying a house advantage of 1.41%. Results are based on whether the player rolls a ‘natural’, ‘craps’, or a ‘point’. The values for these are different for different kinds of bets. Effectively, the probability of dice rollouts determines the odds of the payout. The payout table is constructed around the roll of 7, as it is dice combination with the highest probability. The house will always set the paid outs to below the actual odds, as such the average player will always start with a negative edge.
