A Sequence Bet is a bet that you can make while playing Craps
that takes more than one roll to complete. Take for example a
Pass Line bet, if the shooter doesn’t land on a natural
or craps they have to go for their point which takes more than
one roll. With sequence bets it could take several rolls to see
whether you win or lose. The sequence of the bet starts with the
come out roll and ends when you see whether you have made a winning
bet or not. A lot of the bets on a Craps game are considered to
be sequence bets, including Pass Line Bets, Don’t Pass Line
Bets, Come Bets, Don’t Come Bets, Place to Win Bets, Place
Bet to Lose, Hardway Bets, Big 6 and Big 8 Bets, and all Odds
Bets.
On the other side of the coin so to speak is what is called the
one roll bets. These bets are the ones that are decided with one
roll of the dice. For example if you are going to place a Field
bet the outcome will be decided depending on if the dice land
on one of the field numbers with one roll. There are many different
one roll bets such as the Field Bet, the Horn, Any Craps and Any
7. When you are thinking about which one of these two types of
bets to make you have to know how they all work, though sequence
bets are a little more involved they are all great bets to make.
For example if you are going to make a Pass Line Bet you should
know what it takes to win. If the shooter throws a 7 or 11 you
win right away, if they throw a 2, 3, or 12 you lose right away,
however if they land on 4,5,6,7,8,9 or 10 that is called establishing
a point (this is where the sequence bet comes in) and they have
to roll that point again before they roll a seven in order for
you (and them) to win. Don’t Pass Lines are exactly the
opposite of this bet, you win with a 2 or 3, lose with 7 or 11
and tie with 12, and in this sequence the shooter must land on
a 7 before a point to win. In all one-roll bets you are simply
hoping for the dice to land on the number or field that you selected,
that is all there is to it.
To get a better idea of the two you should go to an online casino
that will allow you to play in the play for free mode, so you
can experiment with both types of bets and fine tune your systems.
There is a lot of debate about which type of bet is better to
bet on, whether you decide that you are going to place a sequence
bet or a one roll bet you should find out the odds because in
the end it comes down to odds, house edge, and good judgment.
