The Best Bet In The Entire Casino

The craps table is undeniably the most intimidating, visually complex game on the entire casino floor.


This secret wager is universally known among veteran players as the "Free Odds" bet, or simply "Taking the Odds."

The Mathematics of Free Odds

In every other game, the casino pays out winning bets at slightly less than the true, actual mathematical probability of the event occurring.


It is the only time in your life you will ever engage in a perfectly fair, 50/50 mathematical coin flip against a multi-billion dollar casino corporation.

Mechanics of the Free Odds Bet

There is no clearly marked box labeled "Odds"; you must know exactly where to place your chips to execute the bet.


If the shooter successfully rolls the Point number again before rolling a 7, both your Pass Line bet and your massive Odds bet win.

Understanding Maximum Odds Limits

The standard structure utilized by almost all major Las Vegas casinos is the mathematically elegant "3-4-5x Odds" system.


For example, if you bet $10 on the Pass Line, and the Point becomes an 8, you can place a maximum of $50 in Free Odds behind it.
