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 Zero Percent House Edge Explained
For example, if the true odds of winning are 2 to 1, the casino will only pay you 1.5 to 1, keeping the difference as their guaranteed profit.
It is the only time in your life you will ever engage in a perfectly fair, 50/50 mathematical coin flip against a multi-billion dollar casino corporation.
Winning Odds bets are paid out exactly at the true mathematical probability of the rollIt dilutes the overall house edge of your entire craps session significantlyYou must place a standard Pass Line bet first before you can "Take the Odds"
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.
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.
Understanding Maximum Odds Limits
The standard structure utilized by almost all major Las Vegas casinos is the mathematically elegant "3-4-5x Odds" system.
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.
