The craps table is undeniably the most intimidating, visually complex game on the entire casino floor.

Astonishingly, this specific bet is the only wager in the entire casino that carries an absolute, mathematical house edge of precisely zero percent.

Why the Odds Bet is Perfect

To understand why the Odds bet is so incredibly powerful, you must first understand how casinos normally make their massive profits.

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 bet
• It is a “secret” bet placed directly behind your original Pass Line chips
• Professional 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.

You do not need to say anything to the dealer; placing the chips directly behind your line bet universally signals that you are “Taking the Odds.”

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.

A smart craps strategy requires placing the absolute table minimum on the Pass Line, and backing it up with the maximum Free Odds you can afford.

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