Learn How to Play Craps Lesson 7 - Dark Side Odds Payoffs | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Did you know that less than 15% of all craps players are dark side bettors? In part I of the series, I covered odds payoffs on Pass Line/Come Line bets, otherwise called Placing Odds. Now it's time for the dark side. Initially, it's easy to be confused and intimidated by dark side odds, (called Laying Odds). Some of you in fact may say, 'I don't need to learn dark side odds, I'll NEVER play the don't!' Let me tell you something. The longer you play craps, the more likely it will be that you will develop some dark side methods to your overall playing strategy. If you are the type of player, who even after five seven outs in a row are bucking the trend and STILL making pass line bets, there is little help for you and your bankroll. (If your idea of a dark side strategy is placing bets on the 'Any 7', then there is NO hope for you.) With the dark side, there are generally two things that people get confused by. The first being, 'How much do I have to lay in odds?' and, 'How much will I be paid?' Basically, if you know your odds payoffs as a Right Bettor, then you will be able to lay odds easily as well. For instance, look at a don't pass/don't come bet on the 6 or 8. If you had been a Right Bettor, you would place $5 in odds to get a $6 payoff on the odds. (Odds amount x 20% plus odds amount). The inverse is true for laying odds on the 6/8. You would lay $6 in odds to get a $5 payoff on the odds. Frankly, I'm not sure whether this will simplify the process for you or confuse you more. Perhaps you will need to memorize the chart. For me, I take what I know about right side odds, and merely flip them around. Look at the lay odds payoff chart below and you'll see what I mean.

Obviously, laying odds on the 4 or 10 is easiest to calculate, the 5 and 9 being the most difficult. If you play the dark side for even the shortest period of time, you will quickly become adept at knowing how much to lay and what to expect to be paid. Similar to placing odds, if you become familiar with the basic lay odds amounts and payoffs, you'll be able to calculate larger amounts. For instance: How much would you be paid if the point was 9 and you layed $48 in odds behind your don't pass bet? You know the payoff on $24 in odds is $16, so the answer would be $32 on your lay odds amount, plus $5 for the flat portion of your bet. Not too tough, is it? On a final note regarding laying odds. Don't hesitate to ask the dealer. That is why they are there, to assist you. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Fire Bet in Craps – Odds, Payouts, and a List of Casinos that Offer It By Steve Beauregard When the table is good, craps is an exciting, seat-of-your-pants thrill ride.
Not as many people put free odds behind come and don’t come bets. Nevertheless, you can place odds behind both of these wagers.
- The actual odds of winning this bet are 8:1 for the hard way 4 or 10, and 10:1 for the hard way 6 or 8. The payouts are 7:1 for the 4 and 10, and 9:1 for the 6 or 8. Finally, the house edge is 11.11% for the 4 and 10, and 9.09% for the 6 and 8. I tried to show these bets in the screenshot below of the craps table.
- For example, by knowing that the casino has a 1.41 percent edge in craps, you can know that you'll be losing 14.1 cents for every $10 bet.

The process works almost exactly the same as with pass line and don’t pass line bets. The only difference is the nature of come and don’t come.
Come and don’t come bets have the same rules as pass line and don’t pass line, respectively. The exception, though, is that you must wait for a point number to be established before making eitherof these wagers.
Here’s an example of making a come bet.
Craps Come Bet Odds Payout Chart
- The shooter rolls a 4, thus establishing a point
- You make a come wager
- The shooter’s next roll now becomes the come out roll for your come bet
- The shooter tosses a 6, thus establishing a point
- You take odds on the 6, meaning that your potential payout and true odds are both 6:5

Essentially, come and don’t come are like your own personal pass line and don’t pass line wagers. You can make these bets any time after the shooter’s initial point has been established and backthem with odds.

Many players stick to backing pass line and don’t pass line with free odds because it’s easy to do so at the start of a new shooter’s round.
But the methodology for backing come and don’t come bets with odds is almost the same. You just need to deal with more chaos since you’re doing so in the middle of a shooter’s turn.

When you do back come and don’t come bets with odds, place your chips above the respective space. Also, notify the dealer so that they don’t mistake your free odds for another come or don’t comewager.
