Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best bet in craps?
The Pass Line with maximum odds is the best craps strategy. The Pass Line has a 1.41% house edge, and the odds bet behind it has zero house edge. Taking 3-4-5x odds reduces the combined effective edge to 0.37%.
What bets should I avoid in craps?
Avoid all proposition bets: Any 7 (16.67% edge), Hardways (9-11% edge), and Any Craps (11.11% edge). These one-roll bets have the worst odds at the entire craps table.
What is the odds bet in craps?
The odds bet is a side bet placed behind your Pass or Don't Pass bet after a point is established. It pays true odds with zero house edge — the only bet in the casino with no built-in advantage for the house.
What is the house edge on the Pass Line?
The Pass Line has a 1.41% house edge. Combined with various odds multiples: 1x odds reduces it to 0.85%, 2x to 0.61%, and 3-4-5x to 0.37%. Higher odds always improve your position.
Is Don't Pass better than Pass Line?
Don't Pass has a slightly lower house edge (1.36% vs 1.41%) but is socially unpopular since you win when other players lose. Mathematically, the difference is minimal and both are excellent bets.
What are Place bets and are they any good?
Place bets let you bet on a specific number rolling before 7. Place 6 and Place 8 have a reasonable 1.52% edge. Place 4 and Place 10 have a 6.67% edge and should generally be avoided.
How does the bet builder work?
Select multiple bets, set your wager amount for each, and the calculator computes your combined effective house edge and total expected loss per roll. This reveals the true cost of multi-bet strategies.
How many rolls per hour in craps?
A typical craps table sees about 100 rolls per hour, but decisions per bet vary. Pass Line resolves roughly 40 times per hour, while proposition bets resolve on every roll (about 80-100 per hour).
