You can slowly understand the game when you start this game. As you get more experienced, you can understand more bets and include them to the list. As you progress in a short period of time, you will be able to play comfortably and feel like you have known this game for so long already.
What is the Pass Line?
You can say that this is the most fundamental of all the bets in the game of craps. Everyone goes to this bet. If you want to understand the game, you need to understand this bet. This so-called pass line is a come out roll. You can say that this is that particular bet if the laminated table has a black mark that says off. If the pass line is either 7 or 11, then you get money. If you get a 2 or 3, or a 12, then you will lose. For the other scores, then you call it a point. The dealer will then turn the black side to white to turn it on.
And then, he will place it on the table where the number is located and this will help the players to know where the numbers are. There is a shooter who will roll a dice and he will roll until he reaches the same amount or 7. If the number seven goes before the number, then you will lose. You get the money if you get the numeral first.
You should now pass line after making a come out roll. It can be done technically but for your sake, do not do it since the value of the bet will decrease after the roll. The house edge in such a game is 1.41 and it is not that bad compared to how big the house edge on other games.
The Odds
The odds are the extra wagers that a point will be rolled prior to the 7. Seven is considered a total roll so you have to win more. The goal is minimize the losses as much as possible or not play at all. If you are going to gamble, you need to know the losses and plan.
