Dice Game Rules Of Behaviour
How do you behave at the craps table? There are unwritten rules of craps etiquette besides the game rules. There is a certain etiquette that craps players stick to. A bet is placed while the dice are in the middle of the table.Have it clear in your mind what bets you are going to place before you actually make them. The dice is handled with one hand. The only way to change hands is to put the dice on the table, let go, then take them with the other hand. When throwing the dice, the player should hit the wall at the opposite end of the table. A short roll will be called a "no roll" because it is more controllable. A die or both that left the table are also "no roll". The dealers and the players aren't allowed to touch and handle the chips directly to each other. The cash should be laid down on the layout, taken by the dealer, and chips are placed in front of the player. A player can be asked to to leave the table or the casino for any reason. When offered the dice to shoot, a player may pass the dice to the next player without fear of offending anyone. At least one player must always be a shooter. Pass line or don't pass line should be betted by him to continue the game. Tip the dealers. Dealers don't get paid that much, particularly in the US. To tip the dealers the chips are tossed onto the table and it is said "For the dealers" or "For the boys". It is also common to place a bet for the dealers. A two-way bet is one that is part for the player and part for the dealers. The dealers' bet is smaller than the player's bet. To change dice in the middle of a roll is considered bad luck. If one or both dice leave the table, and the shooter doesn't want a new die he should immediately and loudly call "Same Dice!". Food, drinks, cigarettes, and other things shouldn't be held over the table and should remain off the chip rail. To leave the table after a successful come-out roll is bad luck. When the shooter is ready to roll, players should remove their hands from the table area to avoid interfering with the dice. The stickman will often say "hands high, let 'em fly" or "dice are out, hands high". Coloring up should be done only when the player is preparing to leave the table. To color up and then decide to stay for one more round is generally permissible. But to color up multiple times while at the same table is impolite.
Players have several bets available.
There are several line bets in the game of Craps.
There is a ‘Pass Line’ and ‘Don’t Pass Line’ area, where line bets can be placed. Here Pass Line and Don’t Pass line bets are available. Line bets pay even money if they win.

Odds on a Line Bet.
If the point number is rolled on the comeout the player is allowed to take true odds against a 7 appearing before the point number is rolled again. The additional bet can be equal to the initial bet. This bet is called an odds bet. In different casinos the odds bets are different. In some casinos the odds bet amount is the amount equal to the line bet amount or lower. Some casinos allow making odds bets of two, three or even more times the amount of the line bet. The odds bet is paid at a rate equal to the odds of that point number being made before a 7 is rolled. To place an odd bet you have to place your money behind you pass line bet. Be aware that you will not find an area for the odds bets on the craps table.
