Craps Core-Bet Reference
A table-ready summary of common wagers and denominator cautions. Includes assumptions, worked examples, and links to the relevant methodology.
Scope: This sheet is not a complete layout. Hop, proposition, and bonus bets vary and often carry materially different prices.
| Wager | Core rule | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Pass Line | Come-out 7/11 wins; 2/3/12 loses | Base contract bet |
| Don’t Pass | Come-out 2/3 loses; 12 pushes | Slightly lower standard edge than Pass |
| Come / Don’t Come | Same structure after a point, applied to a new roll | Adds independent contract bets |
| Odds | Paid at true odds behind a contract bet | Reduces blended edge per total amount wagered |
| Place 6 or 8 | Pays 7 to 6 on standard layouts | Common direct number wager |
Before you play
- Quoted odds multiples affect bankroll and blended edge, not the flat-bet edge.
- Confirm whether 12 or 2 is the barred number on Don’t wagers.
- Measure expected loss against the same denominator when comparing bets.
