In craps casinos there are so many different bets that can be
placed. One of the most important aspects of the game are what
is called proposition bets. Proposition bets either win or lose
on the next throw. In general these have the highest house edge
of all the craps bets and for the player with any sense are
to be avoided completely. Specific descriptions of the various
bets are below.
Craps 2: A bet that a 2 will be thrown on the next roll.
Pays 30-1. house edge 13.89%.
Craps 3: A bet that a 3 will be thrown on the next roll.
Pays 15-1. house edge 11.11%.
7: A bet that a 7 will be thrown on the next roll. Pays 4-1.
house edge 16.67%.
11: A bet that an 11 will be thrown on the next roll. Pays
15-1. house edge 11.11%.

Craps 12: A bet that a 12 will be thrown on the next roll.
Pays 30-1. house edge 13.89%.
Any craps: A bet that the next roll will be a 2, 3, or 12.
Pays 7-1. house edge 11.11%.
Field bet: This is a one time bet that the next roll will
be a 2,3,4,9,10,11, or 12. The 3,4,9,10, and 11 pay even money
and the 2 and 12 pay 2-1. In some casinos, largely confined
to downtown Las Vegas, the 12 will pay 3-1. Some casinos pay
on 5 instead of the 9. If the 12 pays 2-1 the house edge is
5.56%, if the 12 pays 3-1 the house edge is 2.78%. On the
surface this seems like a great bet because 7 numbers win
and only 4 lose. However the 4 that lose are much more likely
to be rolled.
Hop Bets: These are among the worst bets on the craps table.
There is no specific place on the table for these but the
dealers will broker your bet if you ask. At any time you may
bet on what the next roll will be, exactly. For example you
can bet that the next roll will be a 5 and 3. If you take
two different numbers as in the 5 and 3 example the payoff
is 15-1 with a house edge of 11.11%. If you take two of the
same number, for example 5 and 5, the payoff is 30-1 with
a house edge of 13.89%. Note that there are already proposition
bets for 1 and 1, 1 and 2, 5 and 6, and 6 and 6.
Horn Bet: This is a combination of the proposition bets on
the 2, 3, 11, and 12. The player is betting that the next
roll will be any one of these numbers. The bet pays 27-4 on
the 2 and 12 and 3-1 on the 3 and 11. Bets must be made in
increments of $4. The house edge is 12.5%.
