Craps - The Free Odds Bet
February 8th, 2008 by The Dealer
If you want to win and have fun playing craps you must have a strategy, and bring the odds as close to even as you can, where the house holds the lowest edge possible.
Free Odds Bet
This bet is available only after you put a bet on the pass line.
It’s called Free Odds because the house has no advantage on the player in this bet. It must be remembered that if you MUST put a bet on the pass line, and so the house gets a small odds advantage there.
When the point is determined (the come out roll is not a 7 or 11, where you won anyway, or a 2,3, or 12 where you lost anyway), you can place a bet equal to your bet on the pass line. This bet reinforces your pass line bet.
This bet is safe, as if the point is “made” (the same number comes up once again before a 7), you will win on the pass line and the free odds line bet. It becomes slightly complicated here, as the point made will have it own odds based on the difficulty in achieving that number.
As points, 4 and 10 are the easiest, so they pay out 2 to 1. 5 and 9 are the next most difficult and the payout is set to 3 to 1. The hardest numbers to achieve are 6 and 8, so they pay out 6 to 5.
Betting on the Free Odds bet will double your pay out should you win.
The Free Odds will keep you playing for hours and can get you an edge to win and is the basis of any craps strategy to win and make money at this fun and exciting game.
