The game we now refer to as Craps has evolved from a French game called crebs or crabs.  Wagering with dice is as old as recorded history.  The soldiers guarding the grave of Jesus Christ are said to have determined who got his clothes by “casting lots” –  rolling the dice.

Log onto our sales website at http://LowdownReports.com/eShop.php and scroll to the Report on Craps.  Process the payment and the full Report will be on it’s way to you.  Study that Report before you play for at least a half dozen trips.  There is so much to know in this game that you’ll forget something important after each time you play.

The Report features the beginning steps a new player should strive to understand before approaching the table.  And those steps are explained in several areas under varying circumstances.  Absorb it all.  Then watch the action, come back and re-read the Report and make notes.  Then read the Report again before you play the next time.  That should be enough to give you a basic understanding of what the game is all about.

The game that dominates the casino floor in most locations is Blackjack because it is a universal game and is understood by more people than any other casino game.  Craps comes in a close second for excitement and entertainment value and with “Lady Luck” at your side – the highest winning table in the casino.

The Report is written for the rank amateur player. The person who enjoys casino vacations and looks longingly at the Craps tables and wishes they understood what that game was all about.  Currently our off-line business is staging casino parties for private companies and we offer an abbreviated version of the game so that we can help people understand how to play.  The more you play, like any game, the more you will understand.  Then you can begin to spread your wagers.

The only thing you really need to understand to begin with is the “Pass Line” bet.  However, you never know what is going to happen in a live Craps game.  It would be foolish not to arm yourself with as much knowledge as you can absorb each time you go.

Look at the table when you want to join the game.  The puck sits off to the side of a row of numbers across the top of the layout – or it is sitting on one of those numbers.  If the puck is “OFF” they’re shooting for a Point.  If the Puck is “ON” it is designating the number it’s sitting on as your Pass Line number.  That means that if you find an open spot on the rail and place a wager on the Pass Line you have one wager in the game already.  It’s always best if the dealer knows there is a new player in the game so ask the dealer if it’s okay to join in and then put your wager on the Pass Line.  Ask the dealer about any other wager you want to make and have them place it for you.  The first thing you do is to place a wager on the Pass Line.  That’s your ticket into the game.  Once the Puck goes on the 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10, you have a “Point” and the game is “ON.”  Next wager for player is “Come” or “Place Bet.”

A Come wager is one you place on the Come area directly below the Point numbers.  The Shooter continues to roll the dice.  Your Come wager will move to the next of the Point numbers that is rolled.  You continue that process until you have two or three of the numbers covered.  Then back off to see if the roll continues.  If it does, continue to place Come wagers until all of the Point numbers are covered.  Those wagers stay in place until the Shooter rolls a Seven.  The best scenario you can hope for in this game is for the Shooter to continue to roll good numbers and those Point wagers continue to pay multiple times. 

You can also give a chip to the dealer and have them Place the wager for you on one of the Point numbers without going through the Come wager.  If you choose to go that route cover the 6 and 8 first.  They are the two most frequent rolled numbers and you want to cover them first.

Hitting one of the larger payouts occasionally is a real thrill but those are all one-time wagers.  Keep this in mind and think about it as you continue to read through this information – how many times will you have to wager on one of the one-time wagers to stay even or profit versus having a wager on a Point number that continues to pay frequently.

Again, like all games, Craps is based on percentages.  The House embellishes their percentage with certain wagers on the layout that tilt the odds in their favor.  Of course, the odds are almost always in favor of the house anyway – don’t ever forget that.
