Craps Facts

The shooter's attempt to pass is the basic contest in craps. Players can wager with the shooter on the pass line or against the shooter on the don't-pass par. These do and don't bets have a house edge of 1.4 percent.

Come and don't come bets are made after a point has been established. They are independent of the shooter's contest, but otherwise they operate by the same rules as pass and don't-pass. Come and don't come have 1.4 percent house edge.

Odds are an additional bet made in conjunction with a pass, don't pass, come or don't come wager. Odds wagers have a zero percent house edge; this makes them the best bet in craps.

Taking or laying odds in combination with a flat bet reduces the house edge on the overall wager. It's always a good idea to bet maximum odds and lower the flat bet accordingly.

Place bets and buy bets are similar to taking odds on the pass line, but they don't require a previous wager. Unfortunately the house pays less than true odds for winning place bets and charges a vig (a fee) for buy bets.

Lay bets are similar to giving odds on the don't. A previous wager is not required, but the house charges a vig for the bet.

Bets in the center of the table are called proposition bets. They have a high house edge. You should avoid them.

Big six and big eight are sucker bets.

Avoid insurance bets. They're a waste of money.
