The strategy basics

[vegas40]

The craps table is oblong, and the shooters stand at one of the narrow ends, and they throw the dice to the other side. The rules say that when you "come out" if you roll a 7 or 11, you win. If you roll a 2,3, or 12 you lose.

Any other number becomes your "point" and you throw until you hit that number, whereby you win, or a 7 whereby you lose.
