Craps Roll Names

Introduction

• How the Craps Bet Works Craps sees you win when a 2, 3, or 12 is rolled, and you lose with any other number combination. These three numbers combine to offer you four out of 36 dice combinations that'll result in a win, or 8:1 true odds.
• In a completely random game the chances of any given number on either die being rolled is 1 in 6. The chance of rolling any combination of numbers on the dice is 1 in 36. This '1 in 36' number can mislead you. There are only 11 possible values (2 through 12) that you can roll. '7' is the most frequent die roll combination.

One question I get asked a lot is 'what is the probability of a shooter lasting x rolls in craps?' The following table answers that question for up to 50 rolls. The first column is the roll number. The second column is the probability of a seven-out on exactly that roll. The third column is the probability of surviving PAST that roll.

Beginner craps players, if you can remember only one bet, make it the pass line bet. This is the starting bet for all craps games and has one of the lowest house edges at 1.41% and highest odds of landing (251 to 244 to be exact). This is one of the best bets craps players can make, with payout odds of 1 to 1. If the shooter's come out roll is a 7 or 11, you win even money (1:1). However, if the come out roll is 2,3 or 12 (craps) you lose. If any other number is rolled (4,5,6,8,9 or 10) it's called the point. The shooter continues to throw the dice until he/she roles a 7 or the Point.
