Craps Rules — Detailed Explanation
Craps is played in two main phases — the Come Out Roll and the Point Roll. The first roll is called the Come Out Roll. If it lands on 7 or 11, Pass Line bettors win and the game ends. If it lands on 2, 3, or 12, the Pass Line loses (this is called "Craps"). If any other number comes up (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10), that number becomes the Point and the game moves into the Point phase.
After the Point is established, the dice are rolled again until either the Point number or 7 appears. If the Point rolls again, Pass Line bettors win and a new Come Out Roll begins. If 7 comes up, Pass Line loses and the round ends (called "Seven Out"). At boji99 all this is tracked automatically — you just need to place your bets.
Don't Pass Line is the opposite bet to Pass Line. Here, on the Come Out Roll, 2 or 3 wins, 7 or 11 loses, and 12 is Push (tie). Once the Point is set, you win if 7 appears and lose if the Point appears. It's mathematically slightly better (1.36% House Edge) but many avoid it because you're betting against the Shooter.
Point Number Probabilities: 6 and 8 are rolled most frequently (5/36 probability each), followed by 5 and 9 (4/36 each), with 4 and 10 the least likely (3/36 each). That's exactly why Place 6/8 is a strong bet.
Understanding Field Bet
Field is a popular One-Roll bet where you're betting the next roll will be 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 or 12. If any of these seven numbers appears, you win. 2 and 12 pay Double (2:1) while the rest pay Even Money (1:1). At boji99 the Field bet is clearly marked in the middle of the table — it's an easy bet for beginners because the outcome is known in just one roll.
Mathematically, however, the Field bet is slightly worse than the Pass Line — with a House Edge of around 2.78%. Out of 36 possible dice combinations, only 16 result in a Field win while 20 result in a loss. Even so, many players enjoy it because it's fast and exciting — every roll brings a fresh chance.
What is a Hardways Bet?
A Hardways bet is a wager that a specific even number will be rolled as a double — meaning both dice show the same value. Hard 8, for example, means 4+4. If 8 comes up any other way (5+3 or 6+2), or if a 7 is rolled, the bet loses. Hard 6 and Hard 8 pay 9:1, while Hard 4 and Hard 10 pay 7:1. These bets carry a high House Edge (9–11%), so keep them small and treat them as occasional fun.
