Win: when the roll is 7 before 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 (bet covered with a "LAY" marker)
The Lay Bet is a bet that 7 will be rolled before 4, 6, 8, 9, or 10. A Lay
Bet is essentially the reverse of a Buy Bet. The bet is placed above the corresponding
number in the narrow unlabeled bar located above the "4, 5, SIX, 8, NINE,
or 10" box. The bet is covered with a "LAY" marker to distinguish
it from a Don't Come Bet. A vigorish (vig.) of 5% is charged when placing the
Lay Bet and the winnings are paid at true odds: 5-to-6 on numbers 6 and 8, 2-to-3
on numbers 5 and 9, and 1-to-2 on numbers 4 and 10. Lay Bets are active even
during the Come Out Roll. Unresolved Lay Bets may be removed.

How to play craps - learning online is easy
For years craps has been considered the most difficult game to learn how to
play. Many gamblers have known this to be a bit of a pity, understanding just
how entertaining and simple the game is once you've gotten used to it, but concede
that it must appear intimidating to the novice.
Free craps play introduces more to the game
The online world is having a noticeable affect on the gambling industry, as
more and more people look to the Internet to learn or improve on their craps
game.
Playing craps - always a learning experience:
Playing online casino craps can be described in a number of different ways: fun, exciting,
exhilarating, and sometimes, quite frustrating. Although there are many craps
players in the world, few call themselves experts, and fewer still truly are.
