Complete Craps Payout Chart
Pass Line & Come Bets
| Bet Type | Payout | Example Bet | Example Pay | House Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pass Line / Come Bet | 1:1 | $10 | $10 | 1.41% |
| Don’t Pass / Don’t Come | 1:1 | $10 | $10 | 1.36% |
Odds on Pass Line / Come Bet (0% House Edge)
The Odds bet is the best bet in the casino — it pays true mathematical odds with zero house edge. Always take maximum odds.
| Point Number | Payout | Example Bet | Example Pay | House Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 or 8 | 6:5 | $10 | $12 | 0% |
| 5 or 9 | 3:2 | $10 | $15 | 0% |
| 4 or 10 | 2:1 | $10 | $20 | 0% |
Odds on Don’t Pass / Don’t Come Bet (0% House Edge)
Laying odds behind Don’t Pass also pays true odds with 0% house edge. You’re laying more to win less (since you’re favored once the point is set).
| Point Number | Payout | Example Bet | Example Pay | House Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 or 8 | 5:6 | $12 | $10 | 0% |
| 5 or 9 | 2:3 | $15 | $10 | 0% |
| 4 or 10 | 1:2 | $20 | $10 | 0% |
Place Bets
| Number | Payout | Example Bet | Example Pay | House Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 or 8 | 7:6 | $12 | $14 | 1.52% |
| 5 or 9 | 7:5 | $10 | $14 | 4.00% |
| 4 or 10 | 9:5 | $10 | $18 | 6.67% |
Tip: Buy bets on the 4 and 10 are better than Place bets once you’re wagering $20+ (the 5% commission on true odds beats the 6.67% Place bet edge).

Understanding House Edge
House edge is the percentage advantage the casino has over the player on any given bet. It’s the gap between the true mathematical odds and what the casino actually pays you.
Another way to think about it: house edge is the percentage you’re expected to lose per bet over the long run. A $10 bet with a 1.41% house edge costs you about $0.14 per bet on average. That same $10 on Any 7 (16.67% edge) costs $1.67 per bet — nearly 12x more expensive for the same entertainment.
Best Bets (Under 2% House Edge)
- Odds Bet: 0% — The only bet in any casino with zero house edge
- Don’t Pass / Don’t Come: 1.36% — Slightly better than Pass Line
- Pass Line / Come: 1.41% — The standard craps bet
- Place 6 or 8: 1.52% — Best non-line bet on the table
Worst Bets (Over 10% House Edge)
- Any 7: 16.67% — Worst bet on the table, avoid completely
- Snake Eyes / Boxcars: 13.89% — Fun to hit, expensive to play
- Horn / World: 12.5-13.33% — High cost combination bets
- Any Craps / Yo / Hard 4/10: 11.11% — Entertainment bets only
How to Read Craps Payout Odds
Payout odds are expressed as a ratio like 7:6, 9:5, or 30:1. Here’s how to read them:
- 7:6 means “you win $7 for every $6 wagered.” A $12 bet pays $14.
- 9:5 means “you win $9 for every $5 wagered.” A $10 bet pays $18.
- 30:1 means “you win $30 for every $1 wagered.” A $5 bet pays $150.
Important: Always bet in the correct increments for your bet type. Place 6/8 should be bet in multiples of $6 (for the 7:6 payout). Place 5/9 should be in multiples of $5 (for the 7:5 payout). Betting wrong amounts means the casino rounds down your payout.
How Dealers Calculate Payouts
Dealers don’t do complex math in their heads. They work in chip increments — they’ve memorized how many chips of each color correspond to each payout ratio. For a $12 Place 6 bet (7:6 payout), they know that’s two $6 units, so the payout is two $7 units = $14.
Dealers pay players in order starting from the position closest to the stickman and working around the table. Know your position, know your bet location, and have your next instruction ready (“same bet” or “press it”) as the dealer approaches you.

What does a $5 horn bet pay?
A Horn bet splits your wager across 2, 3, 11, and 12. With $5, you choose which number gets the extra dollar (“horn high yo” = $2 on 11, $1 each on 2, 3, 12). If 2 or 12 hits, that $1 portion pays 30:1 ($30). If 3 or 11 hits, that portion pays 15:1 ($15). You lose the portions that didn’t hit.
What is the best bet in craps?
The Odds bet (0% house edge) is the best bet in any casino. Of the primary bets, Don’t Pass (1.36%) and Pass Line (1.41%) are the best starting points. Combine Pass Line + maximum Odds for a combined edge under 0.5%.
Do craps payouts vary between casinos?
Most payouts are standard, but three things vary: (1) Field bet — some tables pay triple on 12, dropping the edge from 5.56% to 2.78%. (2) Maximum odds allowed — ranges from 2x to 100x. (3) Buy bet commission — some charge only on wins (better), others on every bet. Always check the table minimums and rules before playing.
