How does online craps work?

How does a round of craps work?

A round starts with the come-out roll, and the pass line follows these steps:

1. A 7 or 11 wins at even money.
2. A 2, 3 or 12 loses.
3. Any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10) becomes the point.
4. The dice keep rolling. If the point comes before a 7, you win at even money.
5. If a 7 comes first, you lose, and the next round begins.

What is the odds bet in craps?

The craps odds bet is an extra bet placed behind the pass line once a point is set, and it pays at true odds, so the house has no edge on it. It pays 2 to 1 on a 4 or 10, 3 to 2 on a 5 or 9, and 6 to 5 on a 6 or 8. You still need the pass line bet first, and online games may limit how much odds you can take.

Which craps bets should you avoid?

Avoid one-roll center bets such as any seven and any craps, and the hard ways. Their payouts look large, but so does the edge. A $10 bet on any seven costs an average of $1.67 each roll, against about 14 cents for $10 on the pass line per bet resolved. They also run faster, so you lose it more often.

Is online craps widely available?
