THE PASS LINE |
|
The
pass line (or win line) bet is the best place to start –
known as ‘right’ betting, it is an even money bet and
the house edge on the pass line is only 1.41% (which means that out
of every £100 wagered the casino expects to win £1.41).
The first roll in a round of craps is called the ‘come out roll’.
If the numbers on both dice add up to 7 or 11 - you win immediately.
If 2, 3 or 12 (‘craps’) are rolled – you lose. Any
other number rolled becomes the ‘point’. This means that
you are now betting that the point number will come up again before
a 7 is rolled. If it does - you win. Tip - it is a bad idea to place
a pass line bet after the come out roll because the odds in favour
of winning on the come out roll are greater than those of losing.
The don’t pass (don't
win line) bet is nearly the opposite bet to the pass line bet and
is also known as ‘wrong’ betting - the house edge for
this bet is 1.40%. With this bet you lose if 7 or 11 comes up on the
come out roll and win on 3 or 2. If 12 is rolled it is called a ‘stand-off’
and you neither win, nor lose (push). The reason for this is that
if don't pass betters were permitted to win, it would give them an
advantage over the house. By making the number 12 a stand-off on the
come-out roll, the casinos retain a small edge. Some casinos bar the
number 2 and the effect is exactly the same. Unlike a pass line bet,
a don't pass bet can be removed after a point number has been established
on the come-out roll. If the number 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 is rolled,
that number becomes the point. The don’t pass better is now
gambling that a 7 will come up before the point is rolled again. |
| BEST BET |
Taking
the odds is the best bet you can make in a game of craps –
the house has no edge on the odds. When the point number has been
established on the come-out roll, any player who has made a pass line
(or a don’t pass line) bet is allowed to ‘take the odds’.
A pass line player is said to be ‘buying’ odds –
a don’t pass line player is ‘laying’ odds. The payouts
for buying and laying are the same.
An
odds bet is an additional wager (not exceeding the amount of
your original wager) that the point number will be repeated before
a 7 is rolled. Some casinos will allow you to make double odds bets,
or more, which cut the house’s edge even further – the
1.4% they had at the start of the round is now cut to 0.6%. As a general
rule, buy the biggest odds you can find, to shrink the house edge
even further. The odds bet has no marked space on the craps table.
To make the bet, place your chips behind your pass line bet in the
open area of the table.
The
payoff for odds bets depends upon which point number has been
established on the come out roll and varies with the odds that a 7
will be rolled before a that point is repeated. The payoff is the
same whether you take single odds, double odds, or more.
Points 4 and 10 pay 2:1.
Points 5 and 9 pay 3:2.
Points 6 and 8 pay 6:5.
Laying
the odds (the opposite of taking the odds) is betting that
a 7 will be rolled before the point.
If the point is a 4 or 10 don't odds pay 1:2.
If the point is a 5 or 9 don't odds pay 2:3.
if the point is a 6 or 8 don't odds pay 5:6.
The
amount you may win by laying odds is the product of your don't
pass bet and the multiple of odds allowed per the table rules. If
the table allows five times odds then you can win five times your
don't pass bet by laying odds. Note that the multiple applies to how
much you can win, not how much you can bet. For example if you bet
£2 on the don't pass and the table allows full double odds then
you can bet £8 to win £4 on a point of 4 or 10, £6
to win £4 on a point of 5 or 9, and £6 to win £5
on a point of 6 or 8.
Removal
of odds wagers from the craps table is permitted at any time,
as the casino has no objection to your taking down a bet that has
no house edge. |
| COME BETS |
A
good strategy if you like constant action is to have a new
bet on either the pass line (or on come) every throw - and always
take the maximum allowable odds. The house edge on the come bet is
1.41%.
A come bet
is like a pass line bet, except that a come bet may be made on every
throw of the dice once a point has been established. The bet is made
by placing chips on the ‘come’ area of the craps table.
After a come bet is made, the next roll of the dice becomes the come-out
roll for that bet. So, if a 7 is rolled, you will win even though
pass line betters will lose. If 11 is rolled, you will win while the
line bets will not be affected.
To
win this bet, your come point must be repeated before a 7 is
rolled. If one of the craps numbers come up, you lose, though the
line bets remain unaffected. If one of the box numbers is thrown on
the first roll of the dice, after you've made a come bet, this number
becomes an established point for your come bet. Once a point has been
established for your come bet, your chips will be moved to the appropriate
numbered box.
When your come
bet wins, the dealer will pay you off by placing your original
wager plus your winnings in the come section of the table. If you
do not immediately retrieve your chips, they will be in action on
the next roll of the dice as a new come bet.
Adventurous players make come bets on every roll, until all of the
point numbers are covered, giving them the opportunity to win many
bets in a short period of time, so long as the dice continue to roll
without hitting 7. A sounder strategy is to place no more than two
come bets. These, along with the initial pass line bet, will give
mean that there are three numbers always working for you. When one
of the points is made (and your bet paid off) place another come bet
to maintain the total of three numbers working for you on each roll.
The don’t come bet
is similar to the don't pass bet, but is made on a non-come out roll. |
| ONE ROLL BETS |
One
roll bets (or proposition bets) can be made at any time during
the game, they pay higher odds, but the house edge is bigger too.
One roll bets win or lose on the next throw.
Any
Craps - one roll bet that wins on next roll of 2, 3 or 12 –
pays 7:1 - house edge 11.11%.
Craps
2 - one roll bet that wins on next roll of 3 only – pays
30:1 - house edge 13.89%.
Craps
12 - one roll bet that wins on next roll of 12 only –
pays 30:1 - house edge 13.89%.
Any
7 - one roll bet that wins on next roll of 7 only – pays
4:1 – house edge 16.67%.
11
- one roll bet that wins on next roll of 11 only – pays 15:1
– house edge 11.11%.
Field
bet - one roll bet that wins even money on throws of 3, 4,
9, 10 or 11 - pays double on 12 – house edge 5.56%. Looks like
a very good bet, because seven numbers win and only four lose, but
bear in mind the probability that the four numbers that lose are more
likely to be rolled.
Horn
Bet – is four bets in one - a one roll combination bet
covering 2, 3, 11 and 12. The payoffs are the same as when betting
on each number individually – house edge 12.5%. |
| PLACE NUMBER BETS |
4,5,6,8,9,
and 10 are known as the place numbers. These bets work just
like the odds, but pay worse odds - with the exception of the ‘hard
way’ bets. Just as with odds bets on top of come bets, place
number bets are turned off on a come out roll.
Be
sure to choose the option with the best odds and don’t
make bad bets on the higher house edge versions of the same bet. In
craps there can be two, and even three different ways of betting on
the same thing, each one paying different odds. For example the place
bet on 6, the buy bet on 6, and the big 6 all are betting that a 6
will be rolled before a 7, but pay 7-6, 23-21, and 1-1 respectively,
for house edges of 1.52%, 4.76%, and 9.09%.
Big
6: A bet that a 6 will be rolled before a 7 - pays even money
- house edge 9.09%. Note that this is exactly the same as a place
bet on 6, except that the place bet pays 7:6 and has a house edge
of only 1.52%.
Big 8:
The same as the Big 6 only that an 8 will be rolled before a 7.
Buy bets are more-or-less
the same as the place bets, but with a different payoff. You may ‘buy’
any of the points (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10), which means to bet on that
number being rolled before a 7. Odds are usually 2:1 on the 4 and
10, 3:2 on the 5 and 9, and 6:5 on the 6 and 8. The house edge on
all buy bets is 4.76%. The house edge on the 5, 6, 8, and 9 place
bets are all lower than the buy bet, so it makes sense to avoid the
buy bet on these numbers.
Lay
bets are the opposite of the buy bets and may be placed on
the 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. The bet is that 7 will be rolled before
the number you choose. Because the 7 is the most likely number to
be rolled you will wager more than you can win. |
| HARD WAYS |
There are four different
hard way bets –
4, 6, 8 and 10. They are called the ‘hard way’ because
they must be thrown in doubles eg. two twos = 4; two threes = 6.
The ‘easy’ way to make 4 is by rolling a 1 and a 3.
A bet on a hard 4, 6, 8, or 10 is a bet that these doubles will
be rolled before either a 7, or any ‘easy’ way of making
those numbers is rolled.
Casinos pay 7:1 on a hard 4, or 10 - house edge 11.11%.
Casino pay 9-1 on a hard 6, or 8 - house edge 9.09%.
