As someone who’s just starting out, craps feels like both the most exciting and the most confusing table game in the casino. The dice, the cheers, and all the betting options make it hard to know what’s smart versus what’s just pure chance. I don’t want to burn through money just because I don’t know what I’m doing. Is there a beginner strategy that’s simple enough to follow until I get the hang of things?

Reading this gives me confidence that the game isn’t as overwhelming as it first looks. I always thought craps was about random bets, but learning there’s a safer path makes it seem much more approachable.
The smartest way to approach it is by stripping the game down to its essentials. Beginners often get pulled into high-payout bets that sound fun but are really stacked against you. If you want a solid foundation, stick to the pass line and place bets with odds, since those are the fairest you’ll get. Flashier bets usually drain your bankroll.
