Increasing the Odds in Craps

You probably know that the Pass bet and the Don’t Pass bet in craps are two of the best wagers at the online casino. The house edge is just over 1.4% for both of these bets. What you might not be aware of is that if you take odds behind those bets that the house edge decreases. Let’s look at just how much that edge decreases when you play craps at the online casino.

The house edge if you take single odds behind your Pass bet in online craps decreases to just about 0.8%. That means you cut the house edge almost in half by taking odds. If you can take double odds, triple odds or even 10x odds or more then you take an even bigger cut out of those house odds. Let’s look at the numbers.

House Edge for Pass Bet
No Odds 1.41%
1x 0.85%
2x 0.60%
3x 0.47%
4x 0.39%
5x 0.33%
6x 0.28%
7x 0.25%
8x 0.22%
9x 0.20%
10x 0.18%

The house edge on all of those wagers are just slightly higher for the Don’t Pass bet but not enough to make any real difference. Many people prefer to bet on a shooter than against a shooter but the odds are almost the same in terms of the house edge. The next time you are playing craps make sure to take the odds.
