Free Odds in Craps
The best bet in the casino is taking the free odds in craps.
It is the only bet where the house doesn’t have any edge.
Yes, that is right; the house has no edge at all when you take
free odds.
The house edge in craps varies depending upon the bet but the
lowest house edge is on the Pass Line bet at 1.41%. The free odds
bet is made after the pass line or don’t pass line wager.
For example, say you make a Pass Line bet and roll a 4,5,6,8,9
or 10. That number becomes the point and now you can make a free
odds bet.
The free odds bet behind the Pass Line bet is paid at true odds
which means there is no house edge at all. The true odds are decided
by which number becomes the point. It is 2-1 on 4 and 10, 3-2
on 5 and 9 and 6-5 on 6 and 8.
The more free odds you can take the better because it is the
best bet you can make at the online casino. If you can get 2x
odds then do it. If you can get 5x then do it. Take as many free
odds as you can.
You can also take free odds after a Don’t Pass wager but
instead of getting plus money on the point you are laying odds.
So instead of getting 2-1 on the 4 you are laying 2-1 on the 4
not being rolled.
The bottom line when playing craps is to put as much as you can
on the free odds because the house has no edge on the wager.
