Website design By BotEap.comThis is a one spin bet where the player wins if a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 or 12 appears and loses if a 5, 6, 7 or 8 appears. Payouts are even except for the 2 or on the 12th, they pay 2/1. A novice player would look at the field and think, “There are seven numbers to win and only four to lose.” However, if you combine all the ways the winning numbers can be rolled, they will total 16. The losing number combinations add up to 20. Therefore, the winning numbers may appear 45% of the time, but the losing numbers appear in the 55%. The house edge is around 6%.

Website design By BotEap.comThese are the total even numbers of 4, 6, 8, and 10. In our Monopoly days we knew them as doubles. Two 2 = 4, etc. In the craps world, these are known as Hardways. When a player chooses to make a hardway bet, he or she is betting that that particular number will only appear as a total of even numbers, for example a hard eight as 4 and 4. All the other four combinations that make up the eight now become losers Hardway bettors now lose when a seven or any eight other than 4 and 4 comes up. The odds are 10/1 against, but the payout is only 9/1. The house edge for a hard 4 or 10 is around 11%, and for a hard 6 or 8 it is around 9%.

Website design By BotEap.comNot all casinos offer this bet. Bettors win if the shooter matches at least four different point numbers before a seven is rolled. They only count different numbers of points. Paytables range from a payout of 10/1 for a point made four times to 2000/1 if six point numbers are made four times each before a seven out. In this unlikely event, the house edge is a whopping 25%!

Website design By BotEap.comThis is a one-roll word bet that is rarely played because most bettors don’t know about it. A player can bet that the dice will jump to a certain combination on the next roll. For example: If he has a hunch that an 8 will come up as a 6 and a 2, he simply yells at the dealer, “Five dollars on the jump eight as a six and two.” If it happens, you will be paid 15/1. He can also call Hardway, “Jump eight to four and four.” If you’re lucky, you win 30/1. Any call is allowed. All payments are the same. This is a typical sucker bet. Depending on the skip combination mentioned, the house edge can range from 5% to 12%.
