Craps Tip – The Worst Bet in Craps

Craps Tip - The Worst Bet in Craps

There is a loser bet in craps known as theedgingof shoe. This bet is worse than even money and certainly worse than free odds. The betting objective is to beat the house at its own game.

When playing the bola88 craps table you simultaneously gamble on whether or not the players will win or lose. Your odds are 28 to 1 in favor of the house. Your odds are normally slightly better if you place a hard way bet.

Although the casino does have a slight advantage, you can tilt the advantage to your favor. You do this by planning a series of pass or don’t pass bets that are based on the probability of a win. The principle is when you are bet on the proposition of a win or a loss, you will win the lesser of the two bets.

A typical example would be to place a $10 bet on the hard ways (4, 6, 8, or 10) and another $10 bet on the hard ways odds only. If the shooter rolls a 4, 6, 8, or 10 you win $10 on the hard way bet and $20 on the hard way odds bet. If the shooter rolls a 6 or 8 you lose $10 on the hard way bet and $20 on the hard way odds bet.

Although the house does have an advantage, you can tilt the advantage to your favor by placing a series of pass or don’t pass bets that are based on the probability of a win. Let’s say you are playing the pass line with the dice and you notice there are three craps players in front of you. Each is betting the maximum hard way bet. If a 7 is rolled, which is the most commonly rolled outcome, you would win $30 from the pass line bet and $30 from the hard way bet. Your hard way bet wins $20, but you are only paid $3 for your $10 hard way bet. Therefore, you lose $10 ($1 on the pass line and $10 on the hard way). Therefore, the house only wins $3.

If a 6 is rolled, which is the most commonly rolled outcome, the house would win $30 for the pass line bet and $30 for the hard way bet. Your winnings are $20 on the pass line bet and $30 on the hard way bet. Therefore, you lose $20 ($10 on the pass line, $10 on the hard way)leading to a total of $30 ($30 pass, $20 hard way). In this worst case scenario, the house wins $1 on the pass line and loses $1 on the hard way.

Thestop on numbersbet is one of the sucker bets. When the shooter rolls a point number, the player wins even money on the pass line, and the bet payoff is even. The minimum bet when the point is established is $10, and the maximum bet is $500. Let’s say the point is 4. When the shooter rolls a 4, the bet becomes $10. The shooter must roll the number again before rolling a 7, resulting in a pass line win or a win. Theonline craps betsETS chipsand hard ways. The pass line betoffsets the maximum allowed bet.

Let’s say the point is 6. If the shooter rolls a 6 before rolling a 7, the bet becomes $10. The shooter must roll a 7 before rolling the point, resulting in a win. The hard way betoffsets the maximum allowed bet.

However, once the point is made, a player may roll repeatedly until he sevens out (craps out). When a seven is rolled, you lose. For example, after rolling a 7 five times, you may roll a 12 and lose. However, when you are not rolling a 7 and there is a pass line bet in play, you win. The house edge on this bet is 2.7% (11:1).
