| Betting the box numbers |
| Betting the box numbers is one of the more sympathetic bets you can make on a craps table. The reason being is that the element of risk is fairly low, and with it, the returns on a successful wager. These bets should only be placed after a point has been made, and for obvious reasons. It is common practice during a craps session if the shooter makes his point for any running box numbers bets to be automatically placed on "off" until the next point is made. |

The box numbers are the permutations that are neither seven, eleven, nor the craps variations of two, three or twelve. These are numbers that can only be "points" and they are four, five, six, eight, nine and ten. Once the point has been established, the player approaches the dealer and asks him to place his chips on certain, if not all, of the box numbers. The craps expert will tell you that not all of the odds in making a box number are the same, |

and are calculated by the house according to the law of eventualities.
As the round progresses and the roll of the dice is in favour of the shooter, then players will approach the dealers and ask them to "press" certain of the box numbers, especially the one that is the point.
In a land casino, the placing of box number bets can be a real problem for the house, especially if the table is hot. Dealers and the boxman really have their work cut out, ascertaining whose bet is whose, and many an argument has ensued as a result. Obviously in an online setting this problem doesn't exist
If the shooter is on a roll and hits the point, then the player is paid out the profit on the bet. It is also common practice to invite the player to let his bet ride until the next round or to add the chips to his pile. |
