Alternative bets In Craps


Come bet/don’t come bets - In craps the come bet is placed after the which you place after the pass line bet. To place it you put your chips in the big square on the craps board that says “come”.

This bet is just like the pass line bet but can only be made after the point is established.

If you set the point with a 6 and on the roll following a 6 is rolled you win. If a 7 is rolled you lose. The don’t come bets are the exact opposite.

Place Bet - The place bet is when you bet on any number 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 at any given time during the game. This has to be done before a 7 is hit. The odds for these bets are as followed related to the combinations of the dice. The more ways you can make the roll with the dice the less money you get when you win. If you choose to bet on 4 or 10 the odds are 9:5. If you choose a 5 or 9 the odds are 7:5. If you choose 6 or 8 your odds are 7:6. In craps these are not some of the more commonly used to bet because of the horrible odds that you will win.

Field Bet - This is a very simple bet in craps. For this bet you don’t even have to know how to play craps. Its simple; all you have to do is make the bet, if the dice value is 2,3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12 you win. If the roll is a 5, 6, 7, or an 8 you lose. That’s simple enough. If you roll a snake eyes in some casinos you receive double your bet. If you roll a 12 you get 3 times as much money back.

The Lay Bet – In craps this is also another very unused type of bet. It is very similar to the don’t pass and don’t come bet. The reason that they are similar is because they all work against the dice. This is one of the bets in craps, like I said earlier that most people don’t use. If someone is using it that means that they think they know more about the game then they think they do. Now the way this bet works is, after the point is set and the number has to be rolled. Usually getting that number again will win. But with the lay bet if you roll that 7 that usually kills you, you win.


The Buy Bet – This bet is the same as the place bet except they offer a higher edge over the house. The numbers you can choose from, like always, are 4, 5, 6, 9, 10. When you choose a 4 or 10 the odds are 2:1. If you choose a 5 or a 9 then you get a 3:2 ratio. If you choose a 6 or an 8 then the odds are 6:5. The most commonly place of the buy bets is the 4 and 10 because it has the greatest odds of winning.

Hard Ways - This bet can be placed on a 4, 6, 8, and 10. the ratio is 9:1 on the 6 or 8 and its 7:1 on the 4 or 10. the house edge is 5.55%
