The Best Bet in the Entire Casino
The craps table is undeniably the most intimidating, visually complex game on the entire casino floor.
Astonishingly, this specific bet is the only wager in the entire casino that carries an absolute, mathematical house edge of precisely zero percent.
The Mathematics of Free Odds
For example, if the true odds of winning are 2 to 1, the casino will only pay you 1.5 to 1, keeping the difference as their guaranteed profit.
If you place an Odds bet and win, the casino pays you exactly, perfectly at "true odds," keeping absolutely zero mathematical edge for themselves.
- There is no specific box or printed text on the craps table for the Odds bet
- It is a "secret" bet placed directly behind your original Pass Line chips
- Professional craps players place the absolute maximum Odds bet allowed on every single roll
How to Place the Odds Bet
To place an Odds bet, you must first place a standard "Pass Line" bet and wait for the shooter to establish a "Point" number.
If the shooter successfully rolls the Point number again before rolling a 7, both your Pass Line bet and your massive Odds bet win.
The 3-4-5x Odds System
This simply means you can bet 3 times your Pass Line bet if the Point is 4 or 10, 4 times if the Point is 5 or 9, and 5 times if the Point is 6 or 8.
Some highly competitive off-Strip casinos offer incredibly generous 10x, 20x, or even 100x Odds to actively attract serious, high-volume professional players.
| Point Rolled | Max Odds Allowed (3-4-5x System) | Example (On a $10 Pass Bet) |
|---|
| 6 or 8 | 5x Pass Line Bet | $50 Max Odds |
| 4 or 10 | 3x Pass Line Bet | $30 Max Odds |
The Craps Free Odds bet is a beautiful, hidden mathematical anomaly in an industry designed specifically to drain your wallet.
