Line Bet

In the game of craps, the term Line Bet generally refers to both the Pass Line Bet and the
Don't Pass Line Bet. These are the most basic bets that a player can make in craps.

In an online casino, Line Bets are particularly convenient, as the platform automatically tracks the dice outcomes and payouts, making it easier for beginners and experienced players alike to follow the game and place strategic bets.

Key Details of Line Bet

Odds: The odds for a Line Bet (Pass or Don't Pass) are even, meaning a winning bet pays 1:1.
House Edge: The house edge for a Pass Line Bet is 1.41%, while the Don't Pass Line Bet has a slightly lower house edge of 1.36%.
Payout: The payout for both bets depends on the outcome of the come-out roll and subsequent rolls if a point is established.

How Line Bets Work

After placing a Line Bet, the shooter rolls the come-out. With a Pass Line bet, you win if a 7 or 11 is rolled; with a Don't Pass bet, you win on 2 or 3. In an online casino, the system automatically handles these outcomes.

Example and Tips

For example, a $10 Pass Line bet wins $10 if a 7 is rolled, while a $10 Don’t Pass bet wins $10 if a 3 comes up. Line Bets are ideal for beginners due to their simplicity and low house edge.

Backing them with an Odds Bet once a point is established can further improve your strategy, both in live and online casino play.
