Baseball Craps was designed to be a fun game to enhance the experience of watching a baseball game.

Baseball Craps

It provides a platform to use your baseball knowledge to outsmart your friends and other players.  It is obviously analogous to Casino Craps and thus gambling, and we hope all players will play responsibly.  It is our objective to make the game as fair as possible by structuring the game to give any player an acceptable chance of winning, while rewarding players who can skillfully optimize a winning strategy.

If you watch baseball through a streaming service and/or watch out-of-market games, you may find that updates on the Baseball Craps app occur before the plays happen on your television. Déjà Vu Sports must update plays as fast as possible after the live event. Therefore, for the optimal gaming experience, we recommend that you play Baseball Craps while watching local or nationally televised baseball games through your local cable provider.

Chips

General

Baseball Craps is a game where each player will accrue points based on the recurrence of specific plays during a half inning of a live baseball game. Déjà Vu Sports reserves sole rights to this patent pending method of live sports gaming.

Please Note: All bets MUST be placed when the batter has a 0-0 count in the live game. If you are watching on television, there will be a 7+ second lag, so place your bets quickly! Furthermore, bets must be on the table for a minimum of 10 seconds before they can win. Don’t worry though – if you are playing fairly, you will have plenty of time to place your bets.
Ball Off

Each half inning will begin with the baseball shaped button in the OFF position

  • Pass Line

    Pass Line

    While the button is in the OFF position, gameplay is initiated by touching/clicking and dragging chips to the Pass Line spot that is illuminated upon selecting the chip. Chips values ($) correspond to a player’s point score on a 1:1 basis.

    When one of the specific Target Plays occurs in the baseball game (Strikeout (K), Walk (BB), Fly Out, Hit, Ground Out, Infield Fly Out), the button is moved to the ON position at the location of that play. Any play that does not fit one of these categories (namely, Player Reaching on an Error) is a Pass Line loss. The play designated by the button in the ON position is referred to as the Point.

    If the Point play occurs again before the end of the 3-out half inning, the Pass Line bet has won and the player will be awarded an equal number of chips as was placed.

    Upon a winning Point, the button will revert back to the OFF position.

    If the 3-out inning concludes without the Point recurring, the Pass Line chips are removed, the corresponding points are lost, and the button will revert back to the OFF position to start the next inning.

  • Odds
    Odds

    Odds

    While the button is in the ON position, a player may add to their Pass Line play an additional amount of chips up to 3X their initial play. This is done by touching/clicking and dragging chips to the Pass Line spot that is illuminated red or by tapping the chips already on the Pass Line. The additional chips are called Odds and upon winning, will be awarded additional points based on the likelihood of the Target Play recurring. There are a few restrictions on Odds bets, so please review the Odds Rules screen in the main menu. This screen will also present the Odds payouts for each Target Play.

    Strikeout (K): Player is awarded 6 points for each 5 points played as Odds.
    Hit: Player is awarded 6 points for each 5 points played as Odds.
    Ground Out: Player is awarded 7 points for each 5 points played as Odds. Note: A Pass Line win on a Sacrifice Bunt will not pay odds. The bet will be returned.
    Fly Out: Player is awarded 7 points for each 5 points played as Odds. Note: A Pass Line win on a Sacrifice Fly Out will not pay odds. The bet will be returned.
    Walk (BB): Player is awarded 2 points for each 1 point played as Odds. Note: A Pass Line win on an Intentional Walk will not pay odds. The bet will be returned.
    Infield Fly: Player is awarded 3 points for each 1 point played as Odds.

  • Come Line

    Come Line

    While the button is in the ON position, a player may choose to place chips on the Come Line. Come Line play is similar to the Pass Line play but can be done when the button is in the ON position. After the Come Line chips are placed, the next Target Play that occurs will be the Point for those chips. The chips will move to the corresponding location of that play and if the play recurs before the 3-out inning ends, the Come Line has won.

    As with the Pass Line, a player may add an additional amount of Odds chips up to 3X their initial Come Line play. This is done by tapping the chips once they have been moved to the Target Play or dragging chips to the area illuminated red next to the Come bet chips. Rules and payout for Odds placed on Come Line bets are identical to Pass Line bets and can be found in the Odds Rules screen.

  • 2 Out Rule

    2 Out Rule

    If an active Pass Line bet is on a Point play that represents an out (Strikeout, Ground Out, Infield Fly, Fly Out) AND a Come Line bet is placed that results in another out play, a situation will exist where the Pass Line and Come line bets can’t both win. Therefore, the player will be given a choice as to which play will remain active for that half inning. The other bet will be removed and the points returned to the player. Regardless of the Pass Line vs Come Line decision, the player may place a new Come Line bet for the next play.

  • 8 Ways

    8 Ways

    The 8 Ways bet is active for each new batter. The bet is that the player will successfully reach base, as there are 8 Ways possible to do so (Hit, Walk, Hit By Pitch, Fielder’s Choice, Reach on an Error, Strikeout with Pass Ball, Catcher’s Interference, Fielder’s Interference). The bet is specific to the player at bat when the bet is placed. If a player is intentionally walked, the bet is NULL and the chips will be returned. A winning bet will be awarded 1 point for every point that is bet.

  • First to Home

    First To Home

    The First To Home bet is active when a player is on first base. The bet is that the player will reach home rather than be left stranded on base or called out. The bet is specific to the player on first base when the bet is placed. If a new player reaches first and the original player is still on base, another bet can be placed. A winning bet will be awarded 1 point for every 1 point bet.

  • Prop Bets

    Prop Bets

    This feature will be available in a premium version of the app. It will allow person to person bets with specific outcomes, timeframes and odds. This will extend the opportunity to win points beyond the Game Board because wager wins/losses will be transferred directly from player to player.

COMPARISON TO CASINO CRAPS

lines

Baseball Craps is very similar to easiest parts of Casino Craps, with the dice simply being
replaced with plays of a live baseball game.

In a typical Craps game, the button would start in the OFF position for a new roller and a point number would be established by their roll. The button would then be placed ON that number and the Pass Line bet would win if that number is rolled again before a “crap out seven”. In Baseball Craps, the button starts in the OFF position at the beginning of every half inning (which is every time the teams switch fielding vs batting). Chips must be placed on the Pass Line before the first player has approached the plate for their at bat. The result of that at bat will determine which of the 6 Target Plays the button is moved ON to (Strikeout, Walk, Fly Out, Hit, Infield Fly, Ground Out) and the Pass Line bet will win if that type of play occurs before the end of the inning. Any play that does not fit one of these categories (namely, Player Reaching on an Error) is an automatic Pass Line loss, like rolling a 2,3 or 12 on a come out roll.

dice dice
Craps

Come Line bets work just like in Casino Craps, as in they are the same as Pass Line bets, but occur after the button is already in the ON position.

Pass Line and Come Line odds work  similarly to Casino Craps but have some restrictions.  Please see the ODDS section above to see the specific rules.

Think of the First To Home and 8 Ways bets as similar to inside bets on the Craps table like the hard ways or The Field.

The First To Home bet is active when a player is on first base. The bet is that the player will reach home rather than be left stranded on base or called out. The bet is specific to the player on first base when the bet is placed. If a new player reaches first and the original player is still on base, another bet can be placed for the new runner on first. A winning bet will be awarded 1 point for every point that is bet.

The 8 Ways bet is active for each new batter as they start their at bat. The bet is that the player will reach base, as there are 8 Ways possible to do so (Hit, Walk, Hit By Pitch, Fielder’s Choice, Reach on an Error, Strikeout with Pass Ball, Catcher’s Interference, Fielder’s Interference). The bet is specific to the player at bat when the bet is placed. If a player is intentionally walked, the bet is NULL and the chips will be returned. A winning bet will be awarded 1 point for every point that is bet.

Notable Differences:

1

There are no placed bets in Baseball Craps, meaning that you can’t bet specific outcomes of upcoming at bats.

2

There are no automatic wins when the button is OFF.
