Do not slow down the action by handing over your chips one by one.<br \/>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-self-service-bets\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Self-Service Bets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Certain wagers like the Pass Line, the Don&#8217;t Pass, Come, Don&#8217;t Come, and the Field are &#8216;self-service&#8217;. This means it is entirely your job to place the chips and pick up your winnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember the golden casino rule: &#8220;If it lays, it plays&#8221;. If you win but forget to pick up your money, the dealers will automatically assume you want to wager it all again on the next roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-two-way-bets-tipping\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Two-Way Bets (Tipping)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dealers work incredibly hard to run the game. A &#8216;Two-Way&#8217; bet means you are placing a wager for yourself and the dealers at the same time. Just toss in your chips and say, &#8220;Two-Way Hard 10&#8221;, and the crew will greatly appreciate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-hedging\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hedging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hedging means making a bet that wins when another bet loses to protect your bankroll. For example, betting \u00a31 on &#8216;Any Craps&#8217; perfectly protects a \u00a35 Pass Line wager during the Comeout Roll. This ensures you do not lose your money if a 2, 3, or 12 lands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-avoid-string-betting\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid String Betting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not be that annoying player who makes the dealer go back and forth by placing bets one by one. Know exactly what you want to do before handing over your money, and declare all your bets at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"faq-section\">\n    <h3 class=\"faq-title\"><span>\u2753<\/span> Craps Etiquette FAQ<\/h3>\n\n    <details class=\"faq-item\">\n        <summary><h4>What does &#8220;If it lays, it plays&#8221; mean at the craps table?<\/h4><\/summary>\n        <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n            Self-service bets are entirely your responsibility.
