Craps?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<p>Having a good understanding of the house edge in any gambling game is extremely important, and the same applies to craps. The house edge is an important concept as it&#8217;s the bread and butter of every <a href=\"\/en\/\">online casino<\/a> out there. Having said that, there are ways to limit its effect on your bankroll while playing craps, so let&#8217;s dive into it!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_House_Edge_in_Craps\"><\/span>What is the House Edge in Craps?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The house edge in craps is the built-in advantage that the casino has over players on each bet. It varies depending on the type of bet you make. Some bets, like the Pass Line and Don&#8217;t Pass, have a low house edge (around 1.41% and 1.36%, respectively) making them some of the best bets in the online casino. On the other hand, bets like Any 7 or certain proposition bets can have a much higher edge, sometimes over 10%, which means the odds are stacked more heavily in the house&#8217;s favour.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Calculate_the_House_Edge\"><\/span>How to Calculate the House Edge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To do that, you&#8217;re basically looking at the average amount you\u2019ll lose on a bet over time. You take the expected value (based on all the possible outcomes and their probabilities) and compare it to the amount you\u2019re wagering. For example, if a bet pays $1 but the probability of winning is only 49.3%, and losing is 50.7%, the house edge is the difference between what you should win and what you actually get (expressed as a percentage of your original bet).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"House_Edge_of_Craps_Bets\"><\/span>House Edge of Craps Bets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Just like any <a href=\"\/en\/casino-games\">casino game<\/a>, craps is a game whereby the house edge (or house advantage) is very prevalent. Here are the different bets in craps with their respective house edge. Below the table, you can find out more about these bets in the context of their house edge.<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-17961\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-17961\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Bet Type<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">House Edge (%)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Odds on Pass\/Come (Single)<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0.00%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Odds on Don't Pass\/Come (Single)<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0.00%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Don't Pass<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1.36%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Don't Come<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1.36%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Pass Line<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1.41%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Come<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1.41%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Place 6 or 8<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1.52%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-9\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Field (2:1 on 2, 3:1 on 12)<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2.78%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-10\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Place 5 or 9<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">4.00%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-11\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Field (2:1 on 2 and 12)<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">5.56%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-12\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Place 4 or 10<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">6.67%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-13\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Big 6 or Big 8<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">9.09%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-14\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Hard 6 or 8<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">9.09%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-15\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Hard 4 or 10<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">11.11%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-16\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Yo (11)<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">11.11%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-17\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Ace Deuce (3)<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">11.11%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-18\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Horn Bet<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">12.50%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-19\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Any 7<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">16.67%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-17961 from cache -->\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Odds_on_PassCome_Single\"><\/span>Odds on Pass\/Come (Single)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This one\u2019s the holy grail of craps bets with a 0% house edge. It\u2019s a side bet you make after a point is set, and it pays out with true odds, meaning the casino doesn\u2019t take a cut. The only catch? You need a Pass or Come bet first, which does have a house edge.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Odds_on_Dont_PassCome_Single\"><\/span>Odds on Don&#8217;t Pass\/Come (Single)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Same deal as above, but it goes on the Don\u2019t Pass\/Don\u2019t Come side. Also has 0% house edge because the payout matches the actual odds. Great for lowering your overall house edge when combined with the base bet.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Pass\"><\/span>Don&#8217;t Pass<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At 1.36%, this is one of the best bets on the table. You\u2019re betting against the shooter, hoping they don\u2019t make their point. It\u2019s slightly better odds-wise than Pass Line, but some players avoid it because they don\u2019t like rooting against the table.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Come\"><\/span>Don&#8217;t Come<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Basically the same as Don\u2019t Pass, but used after the come-out roll. Also 1.36% house edge, and works the same way\u2014betting against the shooter. It\u2019s a solid bet if you\u2019re playing smart.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pass_Line\"><\/span>Pass Line<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Probably the most iconic bet in craps. You\u2019re betting that the shooter will win by hitting their point. It has a 1.41% house edge, which is low and player-friendly, making it the go-to for most players.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Come\"><\/span>Come<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Same thing as the Pass Line, but you can place it any time after the come-out roll. Also 1.41% house edge, and another core bet that experienced players use as part of their strategy.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Place_6_or_8\"><\/span>Place 6 or 8<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These bets have a pretty nice edge (1.52%), which is still low compared to most casino games. You\u2019re betting the shooter rolls a 6 or 8 before a 7. People like this one because 6 and 8 are common rolls.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Field_2_1_on_2_3_1_on_12\"><\/span>Field (2:1 on 2, 3:1 on 12)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This version of the <a href=\"blog\/en\/craps\/craps-field-bet\/\">Field bet<\/a> has a 2.78% house edge, which isn\u2019t great but better than the standard one. It\u2019s a one-roll bet, so it moves fast. Some people use it to spice things up, but it\u2019s not the best value long-term.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Place_5_or_9\"><\/span>Place 5 or 9<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Now we\u2019re creeping up in house edge (4.00%). Not awful, but not ideal. Most players stick with placing 6 or 8 instead. Betting on 5 or 9 to hit before a 7 isn\u2019t terrible, just not efficient.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Field_2_1_on_2_and_12\"><\/span>Field (2:1 on 2 and 12)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is the standard Field bet, and it\u2019s worse than the bonus 3:1 version. At 5.56% house edge, it\u2019s flashy but not smart to rely on. It looks tempting since it wins on many numbers, but the math doesn\u2019t work in your favour.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Place_4_or_10\"><\/span>Place 4 or 10<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The house edge here jumps to 6.67%. These numbers don\u2019t hit as often, so the casino takes a bigger cut. Most people skip these unless they\u2019re just messing around or trying for a big payout.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Big_6_or_Big_8\"><\/span>Big 6 or Big 8<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Definitely not worth your chips. With a 9.09% house edge, this is just a worse version of placing the 6 or 8. The payout is the same, but the math is way worse. Most players know to avoid it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hard_6_or_8\"><\/span>Hard 6 or 8<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Now you\u2019re betting on a double (like 3-3 for a hard 6) instead of any combination. The house edge is 9.09%, and it\u2019s just not worth it unless you\u2019re feeling lucky. These are fun bets but risky.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hard_4_or_10\"><\/span>Hard 4 or 10<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Even riskier than hard 6\/8. With a 11.11% house edge, you\u2019re hoping to roll a 2-2 or 5-5 before any easy combo or a 7. It\u2019s tough to hit, and the casino loves when players go for these.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yo_11\"><\/span>Yo (11)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is a single-roll proposition bet. You\u2019re betting the next roll will be an 11. The payout seems sweet, but the 11.11% house edge is rough. It\u2019s a classic \u201csucker bet\u201d that looks fun but bleeds chips over time.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ace_Deuce_3\"><\/span>Ace Deuce (3)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Same idea as Yo, but you\u2019re betting on a 3. Again, it\u2019s a 11.11% house edge with a tiny chance of hitting. Not a great long-term play, only worth a chip or two if you\u2019re just playing for fun.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Horn_Bet\"><\/span><a href=\"blog\/en\/craps\/horn-bet-in-craps\/\">Horn Bet<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This covers 2, 3, 11, and 12 all in one shot, but don\u2019t be fooled. It has a 12.50% house edge, making it one of the worst bets you can make. It looks flashy and exciting, but it\u2019s a money drain.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Any_7\"><\/span>Any 7<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At 16.67%, this has the highest house edge on the craps table. You\u2019re betting the next roll is a 7. It\u2019s tempting because 7 is common, but the payout doesn\u2019t make up for the odds. Total bankroll killer.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Can_You_Beat_House_Edge_In_Craps\"><\/span>How Can You Beat House Edge In Craps?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the thing. You can\u2019t completely beat the house edge in craps as it\u2019s built into the game, but you can work around it to minimise your losses and stretch your bankroll by being smart with your bets. The key is to stick with the major bets that have the lowest edge, like the pass line bet, come bet, and especially the odds bet. These are the foundation of a solid craps strategy, and they give you the best shot at a winning bet. The pass line and come bet have a low house edge on their own, but when you back them up with free odds (also called pass line odds), you\u2019re getting true odds with no house advantage.<\/p>\n<p>One of the smartest moves on the craps table is to always take maximum odds behind your line bet once a point number is established. This is the initial wager you make when the shooter rolls a natural or sets a point. The odds bet, which you place behind that pass line or come bet, doesn\u2019t give the casino an edge, so the more you put on it, the more you reduce the overall house edge on your total bet. For example, placing double odds behind a pass bet cuts the effective house edge significantly. You can check a <a href=\"blog\/craps\/craps-odds\/\">craps odds<\/a> payout chart to see exactly how much each craps payout is based on the dice combinations.<\/p>\n<p>Avoiding the other bets\u2014like the field bet, roll bets, buy bets, or any one-roll specific bet\u2014is another smart way to beat the odds. These might look fun, and they offer tempting potential payouts, but they come with different house edges that are way higher. The same goes for place bets on 4, 5, 9, or 10 since, while not the worst, they aren\u2019t as good as betting on 6 or 8, or just sticking to pass odds and come bets.<\/p>\n<p>In more advanced <a href=\"blog\/craps\/craps-strategy\/\">craps strategy<\/a>, some players use a <a href=\"blog\/craps\/lay-bet-strategy\/\">lay bet<\/a> to bet against a number being rolled before a 7, and if done with lay odds, it can also offer true odds. Just like with pass line odds, lay odds don\u2019t favour the house.
