Craps Games Online

Craps is one of the most popular of all casino games. One reason for its popularity is that despite what seems a dizzying number of options for betting, the game is actually rather simple and depends almost entirely upon odds. Once you've mastered the odds, you can bet with confidence.

Basically, the game consists of the shooter trying to avoid rolling a 7 once a point has been established. When two dice are rolled, there are 36 possible combinations that can come up. Since there are six ways that the dice can total 7, the probability of it coming up is 6 out of 36, or 16.67 percent. That's the highest probability of any number, which is what gives the house the edge.

There is only one way to roll either a 2 or a 12 ("snake eyes" or "boxcars"). Their probability is only 1 out of 36, or 2.78 percent. Betting on these numbers will give you less of a chance of winning, but a higher payout if you do. To bet higher odds on the middle numbers, you can bet the "hard way." That means you're betting on doubles. A 6, for instance, wins a hard way bet if it consists of two 3s. If it's a 5 and a 1, the hard way bet loses.

Playing craps games online is a great way to learn how to bet the odds. You can take all the time you need, and won't have the distraction of other players. Click here to get started playing craps at GalaxiWorld.com.
