Types of Craps Bets

Jan 27, 2021 These two craps bets are the opposite of each other, but both of them pay even money. When you place a pass line bet, you win when the come-out roll is 7 or 11. At the exact opposite, if you place a Don’t Pass bet, you win when the come-out roll is 2 or 3, and lose if the result is 7 or 11. If it is a 12, then the bet is neither won nor lost. Sep 21, 2016 Pass The Pass is the most fundamental bet in craps; almost every player at the table bets on it. If you only understand one bet in craps, it should be this one. The Pass bet is put on the the pass line itself on a come out roll. The pass line bet is the most common wager used in the game of craps. This is considered a line bet because there is a large line area on the table layout where you can place your chips. The bet itself is simple, you are essentially wagering that the shooter will roll a 7 or 11 on the come out roll to win. Pass and Don’t Pass. Pass and Don’t Pass are the most straightforward bets in craps. You make this bet before the shooter rolls the dice. Both of these bets pay 1:1. A Pass Line bet wins if the come out roll is 7 or 11. However, you lose the bet if the come out roll is 2, 3, or 12.

This is the most powerful bet in all of craps. In order to play the free odds bet, you must have wagered on the pass line bet or the come bet. If the shooter has not rolled a craps number (2, 3, or 12) or a 7 or 11, then there must be a point number established (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10). Once the point has been established, players can have access to the pass odds bet or come odds bet (also just known as free odds).

Players may wager on the free odds bet in multiples of their original pass/come bet amount. Most casinos allow multiples of 1x, 2x, or 3x. Casinos in Las Vegas for example will allow players to wager 10x, 50x and even 100x odds bets. The rule of thumb is this: The more money you bet on the odds bet, the lower the house edge becomes in your overall pass/come bet that you originally made.

The odds bet itself pays out true odds, meaning there is a 0% (yes zero) house edge. There is not a single game you will ever find at the casino that will offer no house edge. It is as if you are betting head or tails on the flip of a coin. This means totally fair odds. This bet wins when the shooter rolls the point number before a 7.

Remember, the number 7 is the most frequently rolled number. Then 6 and 8 are the next two frequent, followed by 9 and 5, then 4 and 10 with the least frequent of the point numbers. The 6 and 8 pay out 6:5 or $6 for every $5 wagered. 5 and 9 pay out 3:2. 4 and 10 pay out 2:1 odds. Note that these payouts are only for the odds bet. The original Pass/Come line bet will still be paid 1:1 if it wins.

I will explain the bet using the image below. First I made a pass line bet and the shooter rolled a 4 on the come out roll. The number 4 become the point number (noted by the puck that now says 'ON'). Then the dealer moved my chips up to that area of the layout and I made a 1x multiplier free odds bet (so there are two $88 chip stacks now), which gets placed right next to the chips that the dealer moved up there. I will win both bets if the dealer rolls another 4.

Pass Bet Craps Games

The pass line bet is the most common wager used in the game of craps. This is considered a line bet because there is a large line area on the table layout where you can place your chips. The bet itself is simple, you are essentially wagering that the shooter will roll a 7 or 11 on the come out roll to win. If the shooter rolls a 2, 3, or 12 (which are craps numbers), then the player loses the bet.

If the dice lands on a point number such as 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10, then that number will be established as the point number. If you have wagered on the pass line, then the shooter must roll that same point number before rolling a 7 in order to win the bet. Remember, the seven is the most probable number to roll out of all the others. You basically have the advantage on the come out roll and the disadvantage if you have to roll the point later on in the round.

Winnings are paid out 1 to 1, so these are even odds. The actual odds are 251:244 of winning this bet and this is almost even by itself. Because of this, the house edge is only a small 1.41%, making this one of the best bets in the game and in the house. I displayed the bet below so you can get an idea of where this is on the craps table. If you click on the image, you can play the free flash game using this same table.

When players make a pass line bet, they can also wager an additional pass line free odds bet after the point has been established. These free odds bets have no house edge and are the best mathematical wagers you can make in any casino game!
