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

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.

Mechanics of the Free 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.


You do not need to say anything to the dealer; placing the chips directly behind your line bet universally signals that you are "Taking the Odds."

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.

By keeping your Pass Line bet small and aggressively maximizing your Odds bet, you reduce the casino's overall advantage to nearly zero.
