Craps Number Odds
Minimums, Maximums, and Table Odds every damn casino inVegas
DOWNTOWN CASINOS
Essentially, players bet on the dice landing on a specific number before they land on 7. There is zero house edge on odds bets because the odds are exactly fair. This makes the odds bet a popular choice for craps players. Payout odds differ between the numbers: the odds pay 2:1 on points 4 and 10, 3:2 on points 5 and 9, and 6:5 on points 6 and 8. Down with odds is an action and statement both announced and executed by a craps dealer when both paying off a players place bet and moving that same players come bet on to a specific number signifying that the players bet is covered. To calculate the craps payouts and odds for this number, we multiply the three by two (the two dice that players use in the game), and the result we get is six. Thus, the odds are 1:6 and seven is the most frequent number that comes up in craps games. It’s easy to see that craps is a game of odds where possible winning two-dice combinations are compared to possible losing two-dice combinations. Whether numbers are winners or losers depends entirely the type of bets that you make, which we’ll discuss in other articles.

The Free Odds bet has some weird payouts. You get paid 2:1on a point of 4 or 10, 3:2 on a point of 5 or 9, and 6:5 on a point of 6 or 8.
To make the payouts simpler, some casinos are now offering 3-4-5x Odds, in whichthe payout is always seven times the amount of the Pass or Come wager, assumingthe player takes the maximum odds. But in order to simply the payout they had tomake the wagering more complicated. The maximum for your Free Odds bet depends onthe point: 3x on the 4 or 10, 4x on the 5 or 9, and 5x on the 6 or 8. Are 3-4-5Odds good or bad? It depends on how you play:
- If you don’t take the maximum odds when you play then you’re throwing yourmoney away anyway and it doesn’t matter what table odds the casino offers.
- If you take full odds and normally play at a table with single, double, or 3xodds, then 3-4-5x odds will give you a lower house edge.
- If you take full odds and normally play at a 5x table, then 3-4-5x givesyou pretty much the same game. The 3-4-5x odds are just a tiny amount worse than5x odds (0.374%, compared to 0.326% for a 5x table), but your expected hourly lossis identical. (You have the same 1.41% edge on the $5 Pass Line bet either way,and there’s no edge on the Free Odds bet.)
- If you take full odds and normally play at a 10x or better table, then playingat a 3-4-5X table will give you a worse game.
See our artice on the Free Odds bet to find out the houseedge for various levels of table odds.

Origins of 3-4-5X Odds
Best Craps Odds
Reliable sources (a boxman and floorman at Bally’s) tell us that 3-4-5X odds wasthe idea of a high-rolling player named Stanley L., sometime around the early 90’s.(We believe we know his last name but decline to reveal it for the sake of privacy.)Because he was a high roller, one side of a table that was reserved solely for hisplay. As Stanley was strictly a Pass Line and Come player, he convinced the crapspit at Bally’s to allow him to use the 3-4-5X odds as it was easier for him to understandthe pay offs on wins, since every win meant the same payout — seven times the flatbet on wins where full free odds were taken. What we don’t know is what the originaltable odds were. That is, did the casino raise the odds from 2X upward orreduce from 5X downward?

What ever happened to Stanley L.? It was stated that he ran up over a million dollarsin markers and was never seen again.
