You place them directly on the layout, and if you win, collecting is on you: the dealer isn&#8217;t tracking every player&#8217;s bet at a busy table. If you hear &#8220;if it lays, it plays,&#8221; that&#8217;s a warning &#8211; you won but didn&#8217;t pull your chips, so the win just got added to your wager for the next roll, whether you meant to press it or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everything else &#8211; Buy Bets, Lay Odds, prop bets and Hardways &#8211; usually goes through the dealer instead. State the bet clearly, wait for the dealer to repeat it back, then hand over your chips. A verbal bet only counts once the dealer confirms it aloud, and it keeps hands off the table surface, which matters at a live game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/boldgambler.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/09\/craps-pass-line-en-bold-gambler-usa-1024x768.webp\" alt=\"Craps table layout showing the Pass Line bet rules, 1:1 odds, and a 1.41% house edge.\" class=\"wp-image-1859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boldgambler.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/09\/craps-pass-line-en-bold-gambler-usa-1024x768.webp 1024w, https:\/\/boldgambler.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/09\/craps-pass-line-en-bold-gambler-usa-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/boldgambler.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/09\/craps-pass-line-en-bold-gambler-usa-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/boldgambler.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/09\/craps-pass-line-en-bold-gambler-usa.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pass Line bet in craps: pays 1:1, wins on come-out 7 or 11, and carries a 1.41% house edge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-table-rules-for-players\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Table Rules for Players<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Avoid Interference:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t put your hands on the table surface, especially with the dice in motion.
