The Pass Line Bet in Craps

When you are playing craps at an online casino one of your better bets is the pass line bet. Actually the pass line bet in craps is one of the best bets in the casino and it can be improved even more if you take full odds behind it.

Let’s look at the pass line bet in craps and what makes it a good investment.

Online craps is played with two identical dice with six numbers on each die, so a pair of dice will give you 36 different combinations. The game of craps is based on the most popular number, seven, and how the other numbers compare to it. When someone rolls the dice, he can roll three things - a 7 or 11, called a natural, a “point” or craps. If the 7 or the 11 are rolled, then the pass line bet is automatically a winner. If they roll a craps, (2, 3, or 12) the pass line is an automatic loser. If they roll a “point” (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10), then for the pass line bet to win, that number has to be rolled again before a seven is rolled. For example, say the shooter rolls a six on the first roll. For your pass line bet to win you need the shooter to roll a six again before he rolls a 7. You also want to take full odds after that point is established. That means putting more money behind your original bet, as much as is allowed by the online casino. If you hit that 6 before the 7 comes up you will be paid at odds of 6-5.

The pass line bet is a great bet at online casinos. The next time you play craps, play the pass line and take full odds behind the wager. It is one of the best bets you can make at an online casino.
