The pas line bet is easy to understand. To start with, you will need to make a bet on the pass-line before the shooter, who rolls the two dice starts to throw. This first, initial roll is known as the come out roll. If the shooter throws 12, 3 or 2 you will lose your bet but if he rolls 11 or 7 you win. Any other number rolled by the shooter becomes the point number.

Before another 7 is thrown the shooter has to roll the point number again. If he will manage this roll you will win all the money placed on the pass-line you have chosen. If 7 come before the point number you will lose.

After the point has been established you can make an additional bet, the odds bet. This is the only bet that is paid off with true odds and does not have a house edge.

You can make an odds bet of 10$ if your pass line bet is 5$.

There are some rules about how the odds bet are paid. If the point is 8 or 6 the payout is 6 to 5, if the point is 10 or 4 the pay is 2 to 1 and when the point is 5 or 9 the payoff is 3 to 2.

This is how simple a pass line bet can be. Before starting to play craps online, for money you should take advantage of the free online craps games every honest and prestigious online casino will offer to its players.
