The Craps Table Layout

Craps is often regarded as complicated because the layout of the table appears confusing, but it really isn’t. It consists of several areas where bets can be placed. It is more profitable to place bets on the Pass Line and the Don’t Pass Bar because the house edge on both these bets is very low, less than 1.5% in both instances (with the Don’t Pass Line bets having the least house edge). There are also very many sucker bets that can leave you empty handed in the blink of an eye. These bets constitute any bets in the prop area of the layout.
