Online Craps: Various Betting Option Definitions

Online craps offer a wide array of betting options and the game is absolutely fast-paced and full of fun casino action. To know how to play online craps is to become familiar with the many types of betting options.

The following lists the different betting options in online craps:

Pass Line Bets - A betting option that is with the dice of online craps. If a seven or 11 is hit during the come-out roll, you win because it is a natural. If a two, three, or 12 is hit, you lose because it is craps. If any other value is hit, that becomes the point and you win if the point is repeated before a seven is hit.

Don't Pass Line Bets - A betting option of online craps that is against the dice. You lose your bet on a natural and you win if a two or three is hit. If 12 is hit, it is a push and nobody wins. Any other number will become the point and you win if a seven is hit before the point is hit again.

Come Bets - A betting option that is similar to the Pass Line Bets. The only difference is that it can only be placed after the come out roll of online craps.

Don't Come Bets - The exact opposite of the Come Bets in online craps and also must be done after the come out roll.

Proposition Bets - This is a one-roll betting option that is totally dependent on every dice roll. The online craps dealer is the one who will place the bet for you.

Hardway Bets - There are four possible Hardway betting options: Hardway Four, Hardway Ten, Hardway Six, and Hardway Eight. The online craps dealer is the one who will put your bet for you.

Betting the Odds - This is an additional betting option to your original bet. You can either take odds or lay odds and you win if your original bet in online craps wins. Online craps dealers will explain this betting option to you willingly.

Place Bets - The online craps dealer will place your bets on this betting option. Online craps players can make the bet any time in any or all of the numbers: four, five, six, eight, nine, or ten. If any of the number is hit before a seven, you win.
