The Best Bet In The Entire Casino
Autres actions
The craps table is undeniably the most intimidating, visually complex game on the entire casino floor.
This secret wager is universally known among veteran players as the "Free Odds" bet, or simply "Taking the Odds."
The Mathematics of Free Odds
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.
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
Because the casino makes zero profit from this wager, they completely refuse to advertise its existence on the physical table layout.
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
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.
For example, if you bet $10 on the Pass Line, and the Point becomes an 8, you can place a maximum of $50 in Free Odds behind it.

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