Follow me on Twitter @DionPowell322 Pip Informational Videos: Tasteless Tobacco Seri. Here’s a rundown of all the various bets in craps (A) Pass Line. This is the basic bet that most players make, and it’s actually one of the bestbets on the layout, with a house edge of only 1.41%.Ifyou want an easy game then you can simply stick to this bet and ignore all the otherbets. If you have a flat bet of $10, you would be able to take $20 in odds, (on a 2X odds table) however, this would mean a $24 odds payout, which is awkward for most casinos. So, to even things up, most casinos let you place $25 in odds behind the 6 or 8, (which really gives you 2.5X odds instead 2X), giving you $10 for the flat portion and an even $30 for the odds portion, for a total win of $40.
Crap games have some of the widest house edge spreads of any casino game. On the good end you have no house edge on the odds bets and just 1.41% on the Pass Line. On the bad end you have house edges over 10% such as on bets such like the Proposition 2 and 12.

* Note About the Odds Bets
While the house edge is in fact zero for the odds bet there is of course a catch in the fact that you have to have made a Pass Line or Don't Pass Line bet to be able to make the bet. The actual house edge on the combined bets is determined by the amount you can bet on the odds.
Typically online you will only find 3X odds which makes the combined house edge on the Pass Line Odds 0.47% and for the Don't Pass Odds 0.34%. The higher the multiple you can bet on the odds the lower the house edge so for example a game with 100X odds has a house edge of just 0.02%.
Most players bet the Pass Line and the Come, and they avoid the Don’t Pass and Don’tCome, even though the Don’t side offers slightly better odds. Here’s why.
For a refresher on Don’t bets, see our list of craps bets.
You can’t bet what you don’t understand. You can learn more about the Don’t betsin our articles about types of craps bets.
Most craps players are betting the Pass and Come and rooting for their points tobe made instead of a seven. Don’t bettors not only miss out on this camaraderie,but their goals are in direct opposition to the rest of the table, almost makingthem seem like an enemy.
A Don’t bettor might already feel out of place by betting contrary to the rest ofthe table, and rolling the dice when in that position could make the Don’t bettorfeel even more out of place when (s)he’s in the spotlight. So many Don’t bettorstherefore decline to roll the dice. But by doing so they miss out on one of themain experiences of playing craps in the first place.
While the Pass Line and Come bets are clearly and brightly marked, the Don’t Passand Don’t Come are not so obvious.
Making the Free Odds bet on the Don’t side means you have to lay odds rather thantake them, meaning you have to bet more in order to win less, instead of bettingless in order to win more. Although the house edge winds up being the same, it stilltakes more capital to play the Odds on the Don’t side. (See our article on Free Odds bets for more on this.)
On the Pass side you can raise or lower your Free Odds bet easily as dictated bywhatever system you’re using. But on the Don’t side, the amount you put on the FreeOdds is the amount you’re laying in order to win a lesser amount, so it gets complicated.
