playing craps is it hard to understandCraps is essentially a game of numbers and various statistics. As always the house edge is with the casino whether online or the traditional casino. Playing craps is easy but getting used to the betting rules might take some time and effort on a bettor’s part. There are quite a few rules that need to be taken care of while playing online craps. Once you get used to the betting system, the game is a child’s play. The casino version of craps is quite different from the online version. You are alone while playing online craps as against several people betting simultaneously in casino craps game.

For playing online craps, the casino websites need you to download their software or work on a common java based or flash platform. For the amateurs, online casinos offer free games of craps just to get them accustomed with the rules and regulations.

Rules of Dice in Online Craps

The game is entirely based on the dice and there are two dice involved in craps. The person who rolls the dice is known as shooter. The combined sum of both the dice is the deciding factor in this game. If the sum is seven, one of the most important numbers, then the bettor stands to win by large.

Craps revolves around two; three, eleven and twelve as the sum on the dice and therefore these numbers hold special significance beside the number seven. A soft roll is the one when both the dice have a different number and a hard roll is the one in which both dice show the same number as the outcome. For example: a dice with a 2 and other with a 4 is a soft six while both dice showing 4 is a hard 8.

Betting in craps

There are two basic bets in craps, do not pass line bet and pass line bet. In online craps, the players need to drop chips on the bet he wishes to play. The betting odds are even for a win secured in case of do not pass line or pass line bet and only one wins at a time.

Playing craps

Before rolling the dice, the shooter needs to bet, either on the pass line bet or on the do not pass line bet. When the outcome is a seven or an eleven, the pass line bets stand to win even while in case of a two or a three the do not pass line bets win. In case if the outcome is twelve, the pass line wins and the do not pass line is a push. Other number sums e.g. four, five, six, eight, nine and ten are known as a point. The betting continues as extension betting.

One should keep in mind that betting reaps in benefits only when the bettor knows exactly what bets to avoid which is only possible when you master the game by regular play. So to maximize your profit- observe proper discipline, strategize and concentrate along with enjoying the online games of craps.
