The Best Bet in the Entire Casino

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

Understanding how to place and utilize this incredible bet is the absolute key to playing craps intelligently and maximizing your winnings.

Why the Odds Bet is Perfect

For example, if the true odds of winning are 2 to 1, the casino will only pay you 1.5 to 1, keeping the difference as their guaranteed profit.

The Craps Free Odds bet is the single, glorious exception to this universal rule of casino mathematics.

• 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

Mechanics of the Free Odds Bet

To place an Odds bet, you must first place a standard "Pass Line" bet and wait for the shooter to establish a "Point" number.

Once the Point is established, you simply take your extra chips and place them on the blank felt directly behind your original Pass Line bet.

How Much Can You Bet on Odds?

Because the Odds bet yields zero profit, casinos aggressively limit exactly how much money you are allowed to place behind your Pass Line bet.

Some highly competitive off-Strip casinos offer incredibly generous 10x, 20x, or even 100x Odds to actively attract serious, high-volume professional players.

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