The Different Kinds of Bets at the Craps Table


There are many, many bets that you can make at Craps.  Most all bets can be made at any time.  I am going to go over the different kinds of bets that you can make.

1)      Pass Line Bet
This bet is made before the table establishes a point and before the dice are thrown.  You can also place odds on your Pass Line Bet after the point is established.
2)      Come Line (Bar) Bet
This bet is made after the Point has been established for the Pass Line Bet.  Also, the Come Bet allows you to make additional working bets other than the pass line that are “for the shooter”.  You place odds on your Come Bets, after your point has been established.
3)      Don’t Pass (Bar)
The player is betting that a shooter will “crap” out (roll a #7) before making the established Pass Line Point.  This bet is made at the start of a shooters new series.  You can place odds on your Don't Pass Bet, after the Don't Pass Point is established
4)      Place Bets
Place Bets or “Buy Bets” are when you want to place money on a number.  You are gambling that the number you pick for a place bet will hit before the #7 is rolled.  These particular bets can be taken down at any time.
5)      Big 6 and Big 8
A player can wager money on this bet for a one time roll.  You are betting that a 6 or 8 will be rolled on the next roll. 
6)      The Field Bet
When you bet the field you are hoping that the shooter throws a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12 on the next roll.  This is also a one roll bet
7)      The Hard Way
The Hard Way is a bet which covers 4, 6, 8, 10, but to win the shooter has to throw a 2&2, 3&3, 4&4, or a 5&5 with the dice, before #7
8)      Any Seven
On this bet you are betting that #7 will come on the very next roll, this is a one roll bet
9)      C or E
This is also a one roll bet.  C, stands for Craps, & E, stands for #11
10)   Any Craps
A one roll bet, hoping for a 2, 3, or 12
11)   The Horn
 A combination of the three craps bets and the #11
