The craps table is undeniably the most intimidating, visually complex game on the entire casino floor.
Understanding how to place and utilize this incredible bet is the absolute key to playing craps intelligently and maximizing your winnings.
Why the Odds Bet is Perfect
In every other game, the casino pays out winning bets at slightly less than the true, actual mathematical probability of the event occurring.
If you place an Odds bet and win, the casino pays you exactly, perfectly at "true odds," keeping absolutely zero mathematical edge for themselves.
The Free Odds bet has an exact mathematical house edge of 0.00%It is the absolute fairest, most mathematically perfect bet available in any casinoCasinos never advertise this bet because they make absolutely zero money on it
Where to Put Your Chips
Because the casino makes zero profit from this wager, they completely refuse to advertise its existence on the physical table layout.
Once the Point is established, you simply take your extra chips and place them on the blank felt directly behind your original Pass Line bet.
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.
A smart craps strategy requires placing the absolute table minimum on the Pass Line, and backing it up with the maximum Free Odds you can afford.
