Online Craps—Most Exciting Game in the Casino

Online Craps is the most exciting game in the casino. It is as exciting and compelling online as it would be for you in the most lavish of casino parlor settings on land. All you are missing is the noise from your fellow craps players when the shooter rolls a seven. Don’t worry about that because you’ll be making enough noise all by yourself. While it is true that the game of Craps can get involved, if you think of it as a game that is bet in different stages, then you’ll understand the betting mechanism more clearly.

The game of Craps focuses on one player known as the “shooter,” and the first roll of the dice can mean a great deal of winnings if you bet on the shooter to roll a seven or eleven and he/she succeeds. Hot streaks are renowned in Craps, and if you or the shooter gets on a hot streak, then you will be in line to receive a windfall that you never expected.

I’m sure that you’ve been in many casino parlors in your lifetime. Perhaps it was a luxury hotel/casino on the strip in Las Vegas, or maybe it was on a junket to an exotic island in Jamaica or Antigua. I know that you’ve been engrossed in a table game at one of these fine casinos when, all of a sudden, your concentration is broken by loud, emotional noise followed by yells of a positive nature. You turned your head to check to see where this noise was emanating from, and your eyes had to travel no further than the craps table.

The craps table historically generates more noise and emotion from its patrons than any other game in the casino parlor. There are two reasons for this emotional display. First, the game of craps is determined by a single roll of the dice. Over the years, fortunes have been won and lost with this simple roll of the dice. Therefore, the game is over and done, sometimes, in a flash of a few seconds. All the suspense in the one roll is released if the roll is a number to your liking. Since the great majority of the players at the craps table bet on the shooter, or the one that rolls the dice, the emotional reaction is instantaneous and unanimous. The second reason is that since the players at the table are generally all supportive of the shooter, a bond between the players begins to develop as the game progresses.

The same thing occurs in online craps. Although the yells of excitement are generally heard only by family members and neighbors with their windows open, players are quick to dash off e-mails to one another, exchange phone numbers, and correspond in their mutual chat rooms. The online craps table as a place where you can make friends.

Craps Strategy – Making the Place Bet

Some bettors at the Craps table are impatient with the rolls of the dice and they want to bet certain numbers after the initial roll of the dice. For instance, you might want to cover a bet on the number 10 if it is uncovered by you on the board during the come portion of the betting. So, if you cover the 10 and the shooter rolls a 10, you’ll win at 9-5 odds. You must remember that if you are going to bet the 10 and return 9-5 odds for your investment, you must bet on the casino Craps table in multiples of 9. Therefore, you should bet 9 or 18 or some other derivative of 9. These bets are known as “Place” bets.

Place bets are to the casino’s advantage because they don’t pay off with the odds you’ll receive with an odds bet or a come bet. However, place bets do add to the fervor created at the Craps table.

Craps Strategy – Understanding the Come Bet

So you really want to learn the game of Craps because it is the most electrifying game in the casino parlor as well as in the online casino gambling websites on the Internet? You have the first two bets down pat. Your initial bet is whether or not the shooter will pass (win) or don’t pass (lose). If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11, he automatically wins. If he rolls a 2, 3, or 12, he automatically loses. If the shooter rolls any other number than the aforementioned, another level of betting, the odds bet, is initiated. If you believe that the shooter will roll a duplication of his first number before he rolls a 7, then you place a bet on the odds bet line.

If there is a roll of the dice and neither the duplicate number nor a 7 is rolled, we enter the third level of betting. This is known as the Come Bet and it is made prior to the next roll of the dice. It gives the player a chance at another number. Let’s say that the shooter rolled an 8 on the third roll. If you want to place a come bet, you bet on the come line and your number on the come is 8. So, for arguments sake, the first number rolled was a 5, and the second roll was an 8. If either the 5 or the 8 is rolled on the next roll, you will win the pass line bet and the come bet and lose the odds bet.

The come bet is similar to the pass bet because in the above illustration, if the shooter rolled a 7, 11, or an 8, you would have won the come bet. Likewise, if the shooter had rolled a 2, 3, or 7, you would have lost your come bet. It is quite possible to win and lose on the game of Craps, and that is what makes it exhilarating for the online player.
