Casino Craps
As with all casino games the enduring odds favors the house. With
Craps the casino benefit is very small on the other hand, so it's
probable to turn a nice profit on a lucky day. Most players don't
play for extensive periods of time that it takes to institute long
term odds, so we will look at short term odds are for winning at Craps.
The game of Craps is played with two six sided dice. This results
in 36 number combinations being obtainable. The least probable number
combinations total 2 (1,1) and 12 (6,6). The most possible combination
total is 7 which can be made 6 ways (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2)
and (6,1). The other totals, 3 to 6 and 8 to 11, can be made with
more than 1 combination but less than 6 combinations.
A scientific look at the odds of winning would be difficult to
explain and take a lot of fun out of the game. However, as most
people like to win lets take a quick and simple look at the available
wagers and your better chances of winning.

These are outstanding wagers for the player. Because
there is no benefit for the casino the player can decrease the
casinos small advantage approximately in half. By playing odds
bets you run the risk of losing faster, but you also augment you
winnings.
Pass Line Odds Bets / Come Bet Odds Bet – The odds of throwing
the Point or the Seven linger the same, but the payoff augments
if you are victorious. Assume you have made a $10 Pass Line bet
and the shooter throws establishing the Point. If you back up
your original wager with another $10 Pass Line odds bet on the
Point and are successful your payoff will be $22 to $30 (depending
on the Point). This is more than the even money payoff you would
have received if you had just made the Pass Line bet however,
you have wagered $20 instead of $10.
Don't Pass Odds Bets / Don't Come Odds Bet – These bets
are used to increase your winnings when betting against the
player. There is a greater likelihood of the shooter throwing
a Seven than the Point so the payoff is not as great. Assume
you have made a $10 Don't Pass wager and the shooter throws
and establishes a Point. If you back up the Don't Pass bet
with a Don't Pass odds bet of $6 (multiples of $6 are used
to ensure proper payoffs) and a Seven is rolled you collect
$13 to $15, depending on the Point.
