As you can see from the table layout, there are a lot of different bets to choose from. I’ll briefly explain each of the bets below. (For more detailed information on these bets go ahead and review the post ‘Craps: Odds, Payouts, House Edge’
In craps, a hop bet is a one roll bet where the player bets on what they think will appear on the next roll. Hop bets are always one roll bets. The rest of this article will go into the technical and detailed. Betting odds is one of your best advantages in craps.Odds are paid out according to true mathematical odds, which lowers their house advantage. Casinos normally take a cut with other bets instead of paying the true statistical odds. Another advantage of betting. If you make a 'place to lose' bet, then you must roll a seven before rolling that number. The payouts are actually quite good in this bet. In fact, they are nearly the same as true odds but usually slightly less. The actual odds of throwing a 4 and 10 are 2:1, the odds for 5 and 9 are 3:2 and the odds of throwing 6 and 8 are 6:5.
PASS LINE
- TRUE ODDS 251 to 244 PAYOUT 1 to 1 HOUSE EDGE 1.41%
- This is an even-money bet (1 to 1). You’re betting with the shooter (either yourself or whoever has the dice).
- On the come-out roll (the first roll of dice) you win if the toss is a natural (7 or 11) and you lose if it’s craps (2, 3 or 12).
- Any other number is a come-out point and in order to win, the shooter has to throw that number again before a 7 is thrown.
- If a 7 is thrown before the point, you lose.(The shooter must pass the dice).
- This is considered a ‘contract bet’. the point is locked until it wins or loses once the point is established.
DON’T PASS LINE
- TRUE ODDS 976 to 949 PAYOUT 1 to 1 HOUSE EDGE 1.36%
- The opposite of pass line. (This time you’re betting against the shooter).
- You lose on come-out roll 7 or 11; win on a come-out roll 2 or 3.(1 to 1).
- A come out roll 12 is a standoff; neither a win nor a loss.
- If the point is established and made, you lose; if a 7 comes up before the point, you win (1 to 1).
- If you’ve bet the don’t pass, you may either remove or reduce your bet at any time you like. But you cant increase/decrease the bet until the next come out.
COME BETS
- TRUE ODDS 251 to 244 PAYOUT 1 to 1 HOUSE EDGE 1.41%
- You can place a come bet at any time after the come-out roll.
- It’s like starting over, creating a whole new game within a game.
- If the next roll after you place your bet is a natural (7 or 11), you win (1 to 1); you lose if it’s craps (2, 3 or 12).
- If it’s any other number, the number will then become your come-point; you’ll win 1 to 1 if that number comes before a 7.
- If a seven is thrown before the come point, you lose.
- A come bet cannot be removed or reduced after a point has been established in relation to your bet.
- (You can make as many come bets as you like).
- Like the Pass Line bet, this is considered a ‘contract bet’. the point is locked until it wins or loses once the point is established.
DON’T COME BETS
- TRUE ODDS 976 to 949 PAYOUT 1 to 1 HOUSE EDGE 1.36%
- Reverse of come bet.
- You lose if a natural (7 or 11) is the next roll after you place your bet. You win (1 to 1) if the roll is a craps 2 or 3. Twelve is a standoff.
- Any other number is your don’t come point, which pays even-money (1 to 1).
- If on the roll immediately following the placement of your don’t come bet a don’t come point is established and a 7 subsequently appears before that don’t come point is made, you win.
- Should the don’t come point show before a 7 is rolled, you lose. A don’t come bet may be removed/reduced at any time, but not be increased or replaced.
ODDS BETS
- (4 or 10) TRUE ODDS 2 to 1 PAYOUT 2 to 1 HOUSE EDGE – 0.00%
- (5 or 9) TRUE ODDS 3 to 2 PAYOUT 3 to 2 HOUSE EDGE – 0.00%
- (6 or 8) TRUE ODDS 6 to 5 PAYOUT 6 to 5 HOUSE EDGE – 0.00%
- Odds are supplemental bets on pass line, don’t pass, come and don’t come bets.
- When you make a pass line or don’t pass bet, you may make an additional wager any time after the come-out roll to supplement your original bet.
- Supplemental bets on pass line and come bets are referred to as “taking odds”.
- Supplemental bets on don’t pass and don’t come bets are called “laying odds”.
- Your “laying odds” wager is paid true odds- 1 to 2 on 4 and 10; 2 to 3 on 5 and 9; and 5 to 6 on 6 and 8.
- Your “taking odds” wager is paid at true odds – 2 to 1 on 4 and 10; 3 to 2 on 5 and 9; and 6 to 5 on 6 and 8.
PLACE BETS
![Bets Bets](https://www.lolcraps.com/craps/bets/c-and-e/c-and-e.jpg)
- (4 or 10) TRUE ODDS 2 to 1 PAYOUT 9 to 5 HOUSE EDGE – 6.67%
- (5 or 9) TRUE ODDS 3 to 2 PAYOUT 7 to 5 HOUSE EDGE – 4.00%

- May be made any time but they neither win nor lose on the come-out roll.
- You can bet on any individual number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10).
- If your number is rolled before a 7, you win. Should a 7 be rolled after making a place bet, you lose.
- The odds here vary: 4 or 10 pays 9 to 5; 5 or 9 pays 7 to 5; 6 or 8 pays 7 to 6.
- You can remove/reduce your bet at any time after the dice have been rolled.
BUY BETS
- 5% Commission – House Edge 4.76%
- A different version of place bets.
- Here you can bet on 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 setting your bet on the layout and telling the dealer the number you want to ‘buy’.
- He will place the bet in the correct point box, a “buy” button is placed on the bet to indicate you will be paid true odds.
- A 5% commission is charged based on the amount wagered. (ie.: if you buy the number 10 for $ 20 to win $ 40, your commission is 5% of $ 20 or $ 1.
- If your selected number appears before a 7, you win.
LAY BETS
- (4 / 10) TRUE ODDS 1 to 2 PAYOUT 19 to 25 HOUSE EDGE 2.44%

FIELD BETS

- You get even-money (1 to 1) on a 3, 4, 9, 10, or 11 and 2 to 1 on a 2 or 12; but, if a 5, 6, 7, or 8 comes up, you lose.

BEST OF LUCK AT THE CASINOS!!!
If you understand how to play craps and don't need a crash course, you still might not understand proposition or horn bets. Horn bets make craps fun!
Most players start with a simple pass line bet where the house edge is a tiny 1.41 percent. A pass line bet wins when 7 or 11 is thrown on the first roll, loses when 2, 3, or 12 is thrown on the first roll and is in serious limbo when a 'point' is established should 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 total on the dice. To win, that number must roll again before 7 comes up on the dice. That's craps, almost as easy as blackjack once you get the hang of it.
However, you don't need a pass line bet to play at the craps table, and if you get bored waiting for your pass or don't pass bet to hit, there are plenty of other places to put your chips.
Horn and Proposition Bets
Craps is a fast action game and it is the stickman's job to entice you with proposition bets. A prop bet is a one-roll bet. You either hit the bet on the next roll or you lose! Most authorities will tell you to avoid prop bets because the house edge is so high. I won't. I like prop bets because they are fun and add a lot of excitement to the game.
When the stickman asks, 'anybody on eleven,' he wants you to toss him a chip for the next roll coming up an eleven. If it rolls, you will be paid 15 to 1 or 15 for 1, depending on where you are playing. That's a nice payoff and you can usually make the bet for as little as a dollar. A two-way eleven is half for the dealers and half for the player if it hits.
Sure, the house edge is 11.11 percent (if you are getting 15 to 1) on a eleven bet, but if you make a $1 bet every ten minutes and play for six hours, it only costs you $4 on average because you will win the bet twice in 36 rolls and get back $32. The fun part is when a lot of elevens are rolling and you get paid more often.
There are plenty of other prop bets on a crap game. The bets, how many times they will average rolling and the house edge are:
- Two - 1 time in 36 - pays 30 to 1 - House Edge 13.89 percent
- Three - 2 times in 36 - pays 15 to 1 - House Edge 11.11 percent
- 12 - 1 time in 36 - pays 30 to 1 - House Edge 13.89 percent
- Any craps - 4 times in 36 - pays 7 to 1 - House Edge 11.11 percent
- Any seven - 6 times in 36 - pays 4 to 1 - House Edge 16.67 percent
Horn Bets
Like prop bets, you must ask for a horn bet and either toss the chips to the stickman or tell the inside dealer well before the dice 'total' and a number is made. Don't just throw your chips into the stickman's other bets!
A horn bet is split between 2, 3, 11 and 12—and is a single roll bet. A $4 horn bet is $1 on each number, so when 3 or 11 hits you get paid $12 or 3 to 1 on your bet. This is because you lose $1 on the 2, 11 and 12 and your bet stays up on the horn, so the dealer deducts $3 from your 15-1 payoff and gives you $12.
Craps Odds Explained
If a 2 or 12 rolls, you win $30 minus the three $1 losing bets and receive $27. You can bet any amount on the horn and when 3 or 11 rolls they will multiply your bet by three and pay you. When 2 or 12 rolls they will multiply your bet by 6.75 and pay you.
Horn High and World Bets
Craps Bets Explained
Horn high and world bets are for $5 increments. When you bet a horn high 12, $2 is on the number 12 and $1 is on 2, 3 and 11. You have to call out 'Horn High' and choose where that extra dollar goes (2, 3, 11 or 12).
Craps Bets List
When you place a world bet, you have $1 on 2, 3, 11, 12 and also 7. Again, the stickman will tell the inside dealer what to pay you and your original bet will stay up for the next roll. Yes, you are allowed to take it down.
