Craps X

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

An additional line bet that is part of the craps game is the pass odds bet whose bet amount is typically one to five times the value of the main pass line wager. Moreover, some casinos offer the participating players at 3-4-5 X odds where ho much the maximum bet amount of the pass odds wager can be is determined by what point has been scored by the shooter. So if the shooter has made a point of 4 or 10, he can bet thrice the original pass line bet, if his point was made either 5 or 9, he can bet four times of that value and if he has established a point of 6 or 8, he is entitles to increase the bet made at pass line by five times. So for a $20 pas line wager, the player can either make a $60 or $80 or $100 pass odds bet according to the point he has made. The profits for this kind of pas odds betting is simple and uniform at 6-to-1 of the pass line wager and does not depend on what point has been made.

Interestingly, casino advantage on pass odds wager is reduced as the winning odds are true odds unlike pass line bet where only even money is paid out. It has been estimated more the money is betted as pass odds on a minimum pass line bet amount, the lower house edge is enjoyed by the casino.

Players who staked at don’t pas line can also make odds bet called the don’t pass odds wager and the chips are placed behind the don’t pass line on the game table. Paid as true odds, if a 7 instead of a point is rolled out, then payout for 4 or 10 is 1-to-2, for 5 or 9 it is 3-to-3, and for 6 or 8 it is 5-to-6. It is a lesser advantage wager and is not used by players frequently.
