Craps: The Best Bets

One of the wonderful attractions of the dice is the large number of variations when it comes to winning or losing your money. There are bets aplenty, but which are grit and which ones are the nuggets when it comes to sifting through the pan?

Odds Bets

There are players at the Unibet Craps table who either don’t understand the odds bet, or don’t have a sufficient bankroll to make the odds bet when making their pass line bets. The casino does not have an edge on the odds bet. This means that you can break even over the long run getting more bang for your buck. Not a lot of people know that the odds bet is not confined to an individual bet made by one specific person. If Joe Bloggs places a pass line bet and doesn’t take the odds, then you can. Just make sure you observe etiquette and ask the player first. Its not only polite, but it stops them scooping up your winnings if the bet comes in!

Make sure that you always make the smallest bet possible on the don’t pass or don’t come and the most in odds behind the bet. The house has a 1.403% edge on these bets, but zero edge on the odds bet. The same rings true for the Pass and Come bets. These come with a 1.414% edge on the pass line and come but once again contain no casino edge on the odds bets that you apply.

Sixes and Eights

If you want to put down a place-to-win bet then sixes and eights are the numbers of choice. The casino edge is 1.52% and for every six dollars you deposit you stand to win seven in return.
