To the untrained eye, the Craps table is an enigma surrounded by screaming zealots. But once you learn the bets, and the odds involved, it becomes a goldmine of betting strategy and potential profit.
Pays: 1/1
Odds: 251/244
House Edge: 1.41%
The most common bet on the table, available on the opening ('come out') roll: when the black laminated marker labelled 'off' is on the table. Pays if a 7 or 11 is rolled, loses if 2, 3 or 12 are rolled, and any other numbers become the point. Bet stays until either the point is rolled again (you win), or a 7 is rolled (you lose). The 'Come' bet is a mathematically identical bet, made after the come out roll.
Pays: 4/1
Odds: 5/1
House Edge: 16.67%
Backs the players by betting on a 7 being rolled.
Pays: 1/1
Odds: 976/949

'Taking the Odds' means backing the point after it has been thrown. Bets are often limited to a percentage of your initial stake on 'Pass' or 'Don't Pass'.

Odds: Same as pays

House Edge: 1.52% on 6, 8; 4% on 5, 9; 6.67% on 4, 10
Place numbers are 4 to 10. You win if your number appears before a 7.

Odds: Reverse of Place bets
House Edge: 4% on 6, 8; 3.23% on 5, 9; 2.44% on 4, 10

Pays: 15/1
Odds: 17/1
House Edge: 11.11%
Like a field bet, but on rarer numbers.
Pays: 30/1 on 2, 12; 7/1 on 4, 10; 9/1 on 6, 8
Odds: 35/1 on 2, 12; 8/1 on 4, 10; 10/1 on 6, 8
House Edge: 13.89% on 2, 12; 11.11% on 4, 10; 9.09% on 6, 8
A hard roll is where both dice show the same number. So 'hard 2' is a 1 on each dice, 'hard 4' is two 2s, and so on.
