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
To understand why the Odds bet is so incredibly powerful, you must first understand how casinos normally make their massive profits.

The Craps Free Odds bet is the single, glorious exception to this universal rule of casino mathematics.
There is no specific box or printed text on the craps table for the Odds betIt is a "secret" bet placed directly behind your original Pass Line chipsProfessional craps players place the absolute maximum Odds bet allowed on every single roll Where to Put Your Chips
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
The standard structure utilized by almost all major Las Vegas casinos is the mathematically elegant "3-4-5x Odds" system.

Some highly competitive off-Strip casinos offer incredibly generous 10x, 20x, or even 100x Odds to actively attract serious, high-volume professional players.
