The bet pays TRUE . No house vig. Zero edge.
- 4 or 10: pays 2:1
- 5 or 9: pays 3:2
- 6 or 8: pays 6:5
The combined edge drops as you increase the bet:
- Pass + 1× : 0.85%
- Pass + 2× : 0.61%
- Pass + 3-4-5× : 0.37% ← lowest at a casino table
- Pass + 10× : 0.18%
- Pass + 100× : 0.02%
The sharp move: minimum + MAXIMUM the casino allows. Most casinos offer 3-4-5×, some offer more. Always take it all.
Everything else on the craps felt is worse. Props, hardways, field, big 6/8 — ignore them all.
