How to Become a Pro Craps Player

Online craps is the digital version of that classic casino dice game you see in movies! You're betting on what numbers will show up when two dice are rolled. You can play it for real money if you're feeling lucky, or just try it out in practice mode to get the hang of it at many Canadian online casinos.

The Pass Line bet is the most common bet. On the first roll (the "come-out" roll), you win if the shooter rolls a 7 or 11. You lose if they roll a 2, 3, or 12 (called "craps"). If any other number is rolled (like a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10), that becomes the "point." To win, the shooter has to roll that point number again before rolling a 7.

The Don't Pass Line is basically the opposite of the Pass Line. On the come-out roll, you win if the shooter rolls a 2 or 3. You lose if they roll a 7 or 11. If a 12 is rolled, it's a push (a tie), so you get your money back. If a point is established, you win if a 7 is rolled before the point number comes up again.

The Come bet is just like the Pass Line bet, but you make it after a point has already been established. The next roll is treated like a new come-out roll for your Come bet. So, if that next roll is a 7 or 11, you win. If it's a 2, 3, or 12, you lose. Any other number becomes the "come point" for your bet, and you win if that number is rolled again before a 7.

Think of the Don't Come bet as the opposite of the Come bet. You place it after a point has been established. You win if the next roll is a 2 or 3, and it's a tie (push) if a 12 is rolled. You're hoping for a 7 to be rolled before the "come point" to win your Don't Come bet.

Odds bets are placed behind your Pass Line or Don't Pass Line bet after a point has been established. What makes them special is that they pay out at "true odds," meaning the casino has no house edge on these bets. They're a smart way to boost your potential winnings.

Don't chase your losses trying to win back money quickly. Don't bet on every single roll; be selective. Learn the odds of different bets instead of just guessing. And definitely don't fall for silly superstitions! Have a strategy, understand the rules, and manage your bankroll like a pro.

Practice makes perfect! Play in demo mode to get comfortable. Learn from your wins and your losses. Watch how experienced players bet. Stay calm, stay focused, and make smart decisions based on what's happening in the game.

While there's no magic formula to guarantee a win, understanding the odds of different bets, managing your money carefully, and making informed bets can definitely improve your chances of coming out ahead.

Absolutely! Most online casinos in Canada have mobile-friendly websites or dedicated apps, so you can play craps on your phone or tablet wherever you have an internet connection. Play on the bus, at the cottage, or even while waiting in line at Tim Hortons!
