Concentrate on betting options that offer you good odds, and you can easily get into the game. You can find a list of the most exciting and low-risk bets that are suitable for beginners.
Bet Lines
Pass Line wagering is the best bet to make for beginners. Simple: Place your bet before the shooter has thrown the dice on the Pass Line. When they make the first “come-out” roll, which is a 7, or 11, you’ll win. When they make a 3, 2, or 12 you are out. It doesn’t matter what number they roll, it is the “point.” If that number comes up again before 7 you win. Easy to play and low house edge makes it ideal for beginners.
Don’t Pass Bet
You are betting the opposite to the Pass Line. Win if you roll a 2 or 3, lose if your come out is a 7 or 11, and win if you roll a 3 or 2. Twelve is considered a push. When a score is set, you hope the shooter hits the next point with a 7, before the previous point. Although it may seem “against all the odds”, the Don’t Pass Bet actually offers a slightly smaller house advantage than the Pass Line. The Don’t Pass bet is for the logically inclined.
