Craps reference
Not every box on the felt costs the same.
Craps combines relatively low-edge contract bets with much more expensive proposition wagers.
| Bet | Typical payoff / rule | House edge per bet resolved |
|---|---|---|
| Pass / Come | Even money | 1.41% |
| Don’t Pass / Don’t Come | Even money; come-out push convention matters | about 1.36%–1.40% |
| Taking / laying true odds | True odds by point | 0% |
| Place 6 or 8 | 7:6 | 1.52% |
| Place 5 or 9 | 7:5 | 4.00% |
| Place 4 or 10 | 9:5 | 6.67% |
| Any 7 | Commonly 4:1 | 16.67% |
Why “per roll” can confuse comparisons
Some craps wagers stay active across multiple rolls. Baccaret will normally present the edge per bet resolved and clearly label any per-roll statistic so the denominator is not silently changed.
