In real life, Craps is a game of chance, often played in back alleys by skid row derelicts, that involves betting on the outcome of dice that are rolled by a shooter. When played online, the game does not change very much, but there are several variations, most notably on imageboards such as 7chan or 4chan. In those places craps are often played (and confused with the game of roulette) when a OP posts a “chan roulette” image depicting any of several things. The subsequent posts in the thread are then compared to the original image (by post number) and the outcome is found.

History

Craps has been played since at least 2000 BC, where a variation of the game was played by Egyptian soldiers when they weren’t beating African slaves who were charged with building the Pyramids. Over the ensuing millennia, the game has undergone a multitude of evolving changes culminating in what we now know as online craps, played by netizens everywhere.

Just like all the other online variations of popular gambling games, online craps attempts to present a fair and wholesome face while at the same time ripping off as many people as possible in the unswervingly quickest amount of time.

Online Casino Betting

Online casinos offer various forms of craps. The rules of the game are simple, between rolls of the dice, you make bets on the outcome of what the dice will read at the end of the roll. This sounds straightforward enough until a player considers that they are rolling dice that in reality amount to computer cheats. Bets can be placed on any number of dice roll results:

Pass Line Bet: A gambler bets on 7 or 11.

Don’t Pass Line Bet: A gambler bets that the shooter will not get a 7 or 11.

Pass Odds: A bet you shouldn’t make because you don’t understand the game.

Don’t Pass Odds: See Pass Odds above.

Come Bet: If a 7 or 11 is rolled on the first roll of the series, this is a bet on whether the shooter will roll a 7 or 11 again.

Don’t Come Bet: The rubber has a hole in it. If you pull out, you win.

Single Roll Bets: Wagers are made on any sort of outcome. If a Single Roll Bet is made that the player will roll a Boxcars (two sixes) and Boxcars occur on the ensuing roll, the Single Roll Bettor wins. There are many variations of this bet.

The Horn: A bet that a gambler makes where he tries to guess what will come up next. Typically, this bet is made on a series of numbers and pays out better than a natural straight bet.

Hop Bet: A bet on what the dice look like at the end of the roll.

Whirl: A chicken bet. This bet on a single roll is also insured by a side bet in case the original wager is a loser.

Roll Bets: These are bets that depend on the outcome of a whole series of rolls. Players who make these sorts of bets will Roll Bet on anything. This includes what color the girl’s panties are who is standing over at the slot machines next to the bar…no, not that one, the other one…the girl in the red dress…dark red! God damnit, right there!

It’s Not Roulette, Dipshit

Often, when browsing a Chan board, a person will come across a variation of craps that is often mistaken for roulette. The thread usually begins with an image that depicts several outcomes that depend upon a number. The number is derived from a post made in the thread by that post’s number.

For example:

A picture depicts several women in various stages of undress.

The number 8 in that picture shows a really ugly person.

You post in that thread.

Your post number ends in the number 8.

You are theoretically now having sex with that ugly person.

You post two to four more times in the thread until you achieve the outcome you desire (number 3, the really hot azn chick).

Channers often mistake this game for roulette, while stating “ROLL” in the thread several times. Hey, guess what? You don’t “ROLL” anything in roulette dipshit, you “SPIN” a wheel. Craps is the game you roll dice in, faggot.
