Advanced Craps Betting

Once you have understood the basic Craps bets discussed on our basic craps betting page you can move on to more advanced betting;

Note - to be able to place the more advanced bets in Craps you need to have already placed a bet on the "Pass Line" or "Don't Pass Line".

Come and Don't Come Bets

These bets are one of the more exciting bets to make in Craps. A lot of players use this bet to get more numbers working for them at the same time, six in all. These bets are identical to the "Pass" and "Don't Pass" bets, except that they can be placed only after a point has been established.

In addition, you can place as many consecutive "Come"/"Don't Come" bets as you like, while you are limited to one "Pass"/"Don't Pass" bet. The importance of these bets is that they allow players to increase their chances of winning during any given roll of the dice. They offer the same odds as the "Pass"/"Don't Pass" bets.

Place Bets

A bet on any or all of the individual Place numbers (4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10) is a bet that the number or numbers will be thrown before a 7. The 4 and 10 pay at 9-5 odds; the 5 and 9 at 7-5 odds; and the 6 and 8 at 7-6 odds. Placing the 6 and 8 is a fairly good bet because the house edge is 1.52 percent. However, placing the 5 and 9 and the 4 and 10 are less attractive because the house edge jumps to 4 percent and 6.73 percent, respectively.

The Field

This is a one-roll bet that any number in the Field - 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 or 12 - will be rolled. If any other number - 5, 6, 7 or 8 - is thrown, the bet is lost. Many people find this to be a very exciting bet as they sometimes "get a feeling" about the next number.

Big 6 and Big 8

A bet on either the 6 or 8, or both, can be made at any time, and either must appear before a 7 is thrown in order to win. Because the bet only pays even money, instead of its true odds of 6-5, the house enjoys an advantage of 9.09 percent.
