Craps Table Layout Explained
The craps table kit from Handyman Casino includes everything you need, from curved rail tops to the inner layout (see Resources below). All you supply is the plywood, screws and determination. Consider making a variation to the plans for building the base of the craps table if you decide to go with a regulation-size table.
Place bets are located in boxes on the upper left side of the craps table. There are 6 boxes which contain the numbers: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10. Dealers control this area of the craps table. When a player makes a bet on one of these numbers, the bet is considered working.

As you can see from the table layout, there are a lot of different bets to choose from. I'll briefly explain each of the bets below. (For more detailed information on these bets go ahead and review the post ‘Craps: Odds, Payouts, House Edge'
PASS LINECraps Table Below is a typical craps table layout showing the various types of craps bets along with the approximate bet placement locations. The table is built especially for craps. The surface is felt.
TRUE ODDS 251 to 244 PAYOUT 1 to 1 HOUSE EDGE 1.41%
This is an even-money bet (1 to 1). You're betting with the shooter (either yourself or whoever has the dice).
On the come-out roll (the first roll of dice) you win if the toss is a natural (7 or 11) and you lose if it's craps (2, 3 or 12).
Any other number is a come-out point and in order to win, the shooter has to throw that number again before a 7 is thrown.
If a 7 is thrown before the point, you lose.(The shooter must pass the dice).
This is considered a ‘contract bet'. the point is locked until it wins or loses once the point is established.
DON'T PASS LINETRUE ODDS 976 to 949 PAYOUT 1 to 1 HOUSE EDGE 1.36%
The opposite of pass line. (This time you're betting against the shooter).
You lose on come-out roll 7 or 11; win on a come-out roll 2 or 3.(1 to 1).
A come out roll 12 is a standoff; neither a win nor a loss.
If the point is established and made, you lose; if a 7 comes up before the point, you win (1 to 1).
If you've bet the don't pass, you may either remove or reduce your bet at any time you like. But you cant increase/decrease the bet until the next come out.
COME BETSTRUE ODDS 251 to 244 PAYOUT 1 to 1 HOUSE EDGE 1.41%
You can place a come bet at any time after the come-out roll.
It's like starting over, creating a whole new game within a game.
If the next roll after you place your bet is a natural (7 or 11), you win (1 to 1); you lose if it's craps (2, 3 or 12).
If it's any other number, the number will then become your come-point; you'll win 1 to 1 if that number comes before a 7.
If a seven is thrown before the come point, you lose.
A come bet cannot be removed or reduced after a point has been established in relation to your bet.
(You can make as many come bets as you like).
Like the Pass Line bet, this is considered a ‘contract bet'. the point is locked until it wins or loses once the point is established.
DON'T COME BETSTRUE ODDS 976 to 949 PAYOUT 1 to 1 HOUSE EDGE 1.36%
Reverse of come bet.
You lose if a natural (7 or 11) is the next roll after you place your bet. You win (1 to 1) if the roll is a craps 2 or 3. Twelve is a standoff.
Any other number is your don't come point, which pays even-money (1 to 1).
If on the roll immediately following the placement of your don't come bet a don't come point is established and a 7 subsequently appears before that don't come point is made, you win.
Should the don't come point show before a 7 is rolled, you lose. A don't come bet may be removed/reduced at any time, but not be increased or replaced.

Supplemental bets on pass line and come bets are referred to as 'taking odds'.
Supplemental bets on don't pass and don't come bets are called 'laying odds'.
