1. Low rollers will feel right at home with online craps, which offers $1 minimum bets combined with 1x-3x odds. High rollers should consider heading to Vegas, where odds range from 10x-100x. Whatever the case may be, every craps player should keep odds in mind so that they can boost their chances of winning.
2. The odds bet will win if the point assigned to that odds bet rolls before the 7 rolls. For example, if the point is 8, and the 8 rolls before the 7 rolls, then the odds bet will win. If the 7 rolls before the 8 rolls, then the odds bet will lose. Odds bets can also be wagered on Come bets after the Come bet point has been established.

The payout for getting a number hit is the same no matter where you play. 4/10 pays off at 2-1 on the odds portion of your bet. 5/9 pays off at 3-2 on the odds portion of your bet and the 6/8 pays off at 6-5 on the odds portion of your bet. Good luck at the craps table and have some fun.

It's no surprise that multitudes of strategies have been developed around place betting the (6) & (8) as these numbers give the craps player one of the be best advantages of beating the casinos.

First of all, both the (6) and the (8) are the numbers likely to roll most often, next to the (7). There are 5 ways to roll (6), 5 ways to roll an (8), and 6 ways to roll a (7).

It doesn't stop there. Here's are some more advantages of Place Betting the (6) and/or (8).

• Place Bets only need to be hit once to win, versus a Pass Line or Come Bet, which needs to be hit twice
• The payout on a Place Bets exceeds that of Pass Line or Come Bets at lower betting levels
  • It takes approximately 5X odds before the benefits of PL/Come Bets exceed that of Place Bets
• Place Bets can be made or taken down at any time the player wants versus PL/Come bets which are contract bets
• The player controls the numbers that are bet, versus the roll of the dice being the determining factor
• Already mentioned, the (6) and (8) are most likely to be rolled aside from the (7)
• Betting both the (6) and (8) gives you a 10 to 6 advantage of one of your numbers hitting before the (7)
• The house edge on place betting the (6) or (8) is only 1.52%, one of the lowest on the table

If the toolbox of strategies you bring to the craps tables does not include a (6) and (8) strategy, then it might be time to find one that works for you.

We'll cover a few of the most popular, and some not-so-popular 6/8 strategies for you to assess and possibly include in your own repertoire of strategies.

Secrets Tip – Never bet the Big 6 or Big 8 located at the corners of the table. They carry a 9.09% House Edge versus Place Betting the same numbers for a 1.52% House Edge.

All examples include betting both the (6) and (8) on a $10 minimum craps table.

BEST OF LUCK AT THE CASINOS!!!

Types of Craps Bets

This is the best bet in the casino and my personal favorite. The don't pass/come bet is used in conjunction with the don't pass line bet or don't come bar bet. Basically when you wager on the don't pass or come line, you can use this free odds bet after a point has been established in order to get paid true odds. I will explain the specifics of this bet below. This odds bet is the same for both the don't pass and don't come wagers.

First of all, when you wager on the don't pass or don't come line, you are betting that the dice will land on a 2, 3, or 12 to win. You will lose if a 7 or 11 is rolled. The important thing to notice is that the number 7 comes up more frequently than any other number. In order to activate the odds bet, you need the shooter to roll one of the point numbers (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10). Remember that the odds of rolling any point number is better than the odds combined of rolling a 7 or 11.

Once the point is established, a player may make bets in multiples of your original line bet such as 1x, 2x, or 3x. Note that in big casinos like Atlantic City and Vegas, players have the opportunities to wager 10x, 50x and even 100 times the original bet on the odds bet. The free odds bet pays out true odds. Yes, that actually means the house has no edge (0% edge). Though they still have an edge on your original line bet. The rule to remember is that the more money you wager in odds bet, the lower the house edge gets overall on your total bet.

The don't pass line has a 1.36% house edge. Adding on a don't pass odds bet will decrease that percentage even further. Note that you win both your don't pass odds bet and don't pass bet (or don't come odds bet and don't come bet) when the dealer rolls a 7 before the point number, which is more likely than the point number and benefits you even more. The numbers 6 and 8 pay out 6:5 odds, 5 and 9 pays out 3:2 odds, 4 and 10 pays out 2:1 odds or $2 for every $1 wagered.

If the toolbox of strategies you bring to the craps tables does not include a (6) and (8) strategy, then it might be time to find one that works for you.

This is the best bet in the casino and my personal favorite. The don't pass/come bet is used in conjunction with the don't pass line bet or don't come bar bet. Basically when you wager on the don't pass or come line, you can use this free odds bet after a point has been established in order to get paid true odds. I will explain the specifics of this bet below. This odds bet is the same for both the don't pass and don't come wagers.

First of all, when you wager on the don't pass or don't come line, you are betting that the dice will land on a 2, 3, or 12 to win. You will lose if a 7 or 11 is rolled. The important thing to notice is that the number 7 comes up more frequently than any other number. In order to activate the odds bet, you need the shooter to roll one of the point numbers (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10). Remember that the odds of rolling any point number is better than the odds combined of rolling a 7 or 11.

Once the point is established, a player may make bets in multiples of your original line bet such as 1x, 2x, or 3x. Note that in big casinos like Atlantic City and Vegas, players have the opportunities to wager 10x, 50x and even 100 times the original bet on the odds bet. The free odds bet pays out true odds. Yes, that actually means the house has no edge (0% edge). Though they still have an edge on your original line bet. The rule to remember is that the more money you wager in odds bet, the lower the house edge gets overall on your total bet.

The don't pass line has a 1.36% house edge. Adding on a don't pass odds bet will decrease that percentage even further. Note that you win both your don't pass odds bet and don't pass bet (or don't come odds bet and don't come bet) when the dealer rolls a 7 before the point number, which is more likely than the point number and benefits you even more. The numbers 6 and 8 pay out 6:5 odds, 5 and 9 pays out 3:2 odds, 4 and 10 pays out 2:1 odds or $2 for every $1 wagered.

I added a picture to make things a little clearer and I will explain it below. First I made a don't pass line bet and the shooter rolled a 10, which became the point number (indicated by the 'ON' disc located on 10). The dealer then moved my chips to the 'don't pass' area of the 10 section in the craps layout. I was then able to use the don't pass free odds in multiples of 1x, so I made an addition odds bet equal to my original bet, so there are two stacks of chips both worth $88 each. If the dealer rolls a 7 before a 10, I will win both bets. Recall that I will be paid 1:1 on the original don't pass line bet, plus 2:1 on my odds bet.

The don't pass line bet used with maximum don't pass odds bet is the absolute best bet you can make in craps or anywhere else in the casino! This has slightly better odds than even the regular pass line bet used with pass odds, so it gives you the best mathematical odds possible. In fact, the casino doesn't actually display the odds bet on the craps table layout and that's why it is sometimes known as the 'secret craps bet'.
