Below is a list of all the bets that can be made at craps. It tells you what that bet entails; how you can win, and how you would lose that bet. As Online Craps is quite a step above all over casino games in the amount of bets that can be made it is no wonder why people can find Craps intimidating. But if you read through these Craps Rules carefully and practice playing as a guest at Spin Palace Online Casino then there you will undoubtedly never find the game craps complicated ever again. It is also advised that you read through the strategies provided. These will give you a much better chance of winning money, as it tells you the bets that will decrease the house edge immensely.
Pass Line Bet:
Betting on the 'pass line', means that if the come-out roll is a 7 or an 11 you win and loses if it is craps (2, 3, 12). If another number is rolled, it becomes the 'point'. What that means is that the same number has to be rolled again before a 7 to win, if a 7 comes up then you lose.
Don't Pass Line Bet:
Betting on the 'don't pass line' means that if the come out roll is a 2 or a 3 you win and lose if it's a 7 or an 11. If the number is a 12, it's a push where nobody wins or loses. If a point is established on the first roll, then a 7 must be rolled before the point is repeated to make you a winner.
Betting with Odds:
It is possible to place odds on your pass, don't pass, come, or don't come bets. It's a way of increasing your payoff and bet without increasing the odds against you. Since an odds bet is one of the best in the casino, there is little point to placing a pass line bet without backing it up with odds. Just remember, you place your pass line bet before the come out roll, but you can only back it up with odds after a point has been established.
Come Bet:
Same as the pass line bet, except that it allows you to set your own point, that is after a point has been established for the rest of the table. After the bet is placed, the first roll is your own personal come point and that point must be rolled before a 7 for you to win. If the first roll is a 7 or an 11 you win; if it's a 2, 3, or 12 you lose.
Don't Come Bet:
Same rules as the don't pass bet and of course is the opposite of the come bet. After the bet is placed, the first roll is the come point and a 7 must be rolled before that point for you to win. If the first roll is a 2 or 3 you win automatically which obviously means that if it's a 7 or 11 you lose.
Proposition and Hardway Bets:
On the left of the table you will see a small box with dices in them. This books consists of 2 sections; The Hardway bets and the Proposition Bets. You can find an explanation of the two below:

Big Six or Big Eight Bet:
This bet wins if a 6 or an 8 is rolled before a 7, and can be placed at any point in the game.
Field Bets:
This is a one-roll bet where you win if a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, or a 12 is rolled. If you receive a 2 you will get double money, and if you receive a 12 you will receive triple money, otherwise you will receive even money (1:1). If any other number is rolled, you lose.
Place Bets:
Any of these bets can only be placed after the point has been determined; only then you can place either the 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or the 10. You win if the number you placed a bet on comes up before a 7; otherwise, you lose. The Place Bets are located on the very top box of the craps table.
