Craps
Craps can be a frightening game for the beginner. The table seems to have
about a hundred unlike kinds of bets, the players are howling out commands
in what appears to be a foreign language, and the pace is too fast to
ever ask a question. I can commiserate with the beginner because it wasn't
that long ago that this was how craps materialized to me.
If this is how you view the game I have good news. There is one primary
bet that almost all players make. You can with no trouble get by knowing
just this bet your first time. As you get more qualified you can add more
bets to your collection. After just your first five minutes you should
feel contented with the flow of the game and can start acting natural,
like you've been a craps player for years.
Dangerous to the understanding of craps is that it is a game of rounds.
The first roll in a round is called the come out roll. From time to time
the outcome of a round will be resolute on the come out roll. In particular
a 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12 on the come out roll right away ends a round. If
any other total is rolled (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) that number is called
the point. The dealer will place a white puck on an area of the table
to assign what the point is, in case you forget. If a point is rolled
the dice will be rolled continuously until the same point is rolled again
or a 7. |
