Double (Craps term)

In the game of craps, a double is a bet that the shooter will roll a specific number, typically the number 2 or 12, on the next roll of the dice. To make a double bet, a player would place their bet on the “Double” area of the craps table. The player would then roll the dice, and if the dice roll the specific number, the player wins the bet.
The double bet is a relatively high-risk bet in craps, as the odds of rolling a 2 or a 12 on the next roll of the dice are low. However, if the bet is successful, it can offer a high payout, as the odds of winning a double bet are typically around 15 to 1.
Double bets are one of several betting options available to players in craps, and they can be a useful way for players to increase their chances of winning. However, like all bets in craps, double bets carry a certain degree of risk, and players should be aware of the potential losses before they place their bets.
