Craps<\/a><\/strong> is one of the most popular online casino games with a low house edge and immense potential. However, the table and numerous rules sometimes confuse the punters.<\/p>\n Hence, we compiled a lengthy glossary of the most important terms that you could encounter at a craps table. Just look through, read up, and you will become a pro at craps slang in no time. Without further ado, here are the most common terms and definition for craps.<\/p>\n Ace<\/strong><\/p>\n A die that has the value of 1.<\/p>\n Against the Dice<\/strong><\/p>\n Betting on the Don\u2019t Pass Line.<\/p>\n Any Craps<\/strong><\/p>\n The Any Craps bet is a single roll bet where you bet on the chance of rolling 2, 3, or 12 in total. This is a one-roll bet, so there is no possibility to roll again. If you hit it on the first roll, you win. If neither 2,3, nor 12 appear, you lose. This is a risky bet because the chances of landing one of the three desired outcomes are slim.<\/p>\n Any Seven<\/strong><\/p>\n The only bet that is riskier than Any Craps is the Any Seven bet. Essentially, with Any Seven, you place a wager that you will roll a seven. The number seven is significant in craps, so rolling it would be a big deal. Any Seven payouts are 4 to 1.<\/p>\n Arm<\/strong><\/p>\n Arm is a player with high proficiency in throwing dice. This punter can even influence the odds of specific outcomes due to his skills.<\/p>\n Back Line<\/strong><\/p>\n An alternative term used for the Don\u2019t Pass Line.<\/p>\n Bank Craps<\/strong><\/p>\n Craps is not the full name of the game. Instead, the official name for this game is bank craps, but craps is more popular and widespread.<\/p>\n Bar 12<\/strong><\/p>\n When a player rolls 12 and creates a push on the Pass and Don\u2019t Pass Line bets.<\/p>\n Behind the Line<\/strong><\/p>\n This term describes the action of betting on the odds of the placed bets. The craps table does not have a highlighted area for this type of bets, so the players have to put chips directly behind the chips for the Pass\/Don\u2019t Pass bet.<\/p>\n Betting Right<\/strong><\/p>\n Betting right means you are betting on the pass line.<\/p>\n Betting Wrong<\/strong><\/p>\n This one is the opposite of the previous one. Betting wrong is used to describe someone who is betting on the don\u2019t pass line. In some casinos, players call betting on the Don\u2019t Pass Line a bet that\u2019s\u00a0Against the Dice.<\/p>\n Big 8<\/strong><\/p>\n Betting on a roll of 8 before 7 is the Big 8. The house edge for this bet is 9.1%, and it pays even money. Big 8 is the same as the Place 8 bet, but the latter has a 1.5% house edge and pays 7 to 6.<\/p>\n Big 6<\/strong><\/p>\n Betting on a roll of 6 before 7 is the Big 6. Just like Big 8 and Place 8 bets, the Big 6 has a Place 6 counterpart. However, the Place bet has the 1.5% house edge and 7 to 6 payout.<\/p>\n Big Red<\/strong><\/p>\n Betting on a roll of seven is popularly called Big Red.<\/p>\n Bones<\/strong><\/p>\n Another name for dice. A prevalent term.<\/p>\n Bowl<\/strong><\/p>\n The container where the crew keeps the dice.<\/p>\n Boxman<\/strong><\/p>\n Like Roulette<\/a><\/strong>, Blackjack<\/a><\/strong>, and similar table games, craps has dealers. However, there is the boxman too, and his job is to oversee and monitor the dealers and the players. Essentially, their main job is to supervise the gambling activity at the table.<\/p>\n Capped Dice<\/strong><\/p>\n Damaged dice. In other words, if the dice have any sort of damage or scratch, they are capped.<\/p>\n Center Field<\/strong><\/p>\n A roll of 9 has an unofficial name center field.<\/p>\n Cold Table<\/strong><\/p>\n If most of the players at the table are losing, the table is cold. This is the opposite to hot tables.<\/p>\n Color Up<\/strong><\/p>\n When punters decide to switch low chips for high chips.<\/p>\n Come Bet<\/strong><\/p>\n Come bets are the same as the Pass\/Don\u2019t Pass bets, except they are valid only after the come-out rolls.<\/p>\n Come Out Roll<\/strong><\/p>\n The first roll for a shooter is his come-out roll. The point of this throw is to either strike a 7 or achieve a point.<\/p>\n Corner Red<\/strong><\/p>\n Corner Red is a place on the table where you can find the Big 6 and Big 8 bets.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Crap Out<\/strong><\/p>\n Throwing any crap number on the come-out roll will result in crap out.<\/p>\n Crap Numbers<\/strong><\/p>\n 2, 3, and 12 are crap numbers.<\/p>\n Crew<\/strong><\/p>\n The casino staff that works at the craps table is the crew.<\/p>\n Dead Table<\/strong><\/p>\n A craps table without players.<\/p>\n Dice in the Middle<\/strong><\/p>\n When the stickman places the dice in the middle of the table, he indicates that the players can place their bets.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t Come bet<\/strong><\/p>\n Just like Come bets, the Don\u2019t Come bet is the equivalent of the Don\u2019t Pass bet after the come-out roll.<\/p>\n Double Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n Placing a Behind the Line bet or taking the odds by betting on your original bet.<\/p>\n Down<\/strong><\/p>\n Take Me Down (or simply Down) is how players inform the dealers that they intend to withdraw their bets and quit the table.<\/p>\nA<\/h2>\n
