Craps – The Odds Bet
First let’s do two background checks on the normal craps play, an odds bets could be established only when a point have been established and the player have played the pass line – the pass line bet is bet on favor of the shooter with the expectancy that he will establish a point or will win. It’s placed on the pass line or win line as it is called on some Casinos. The second background check that should be done is the odds of the dices which is always relegated to a 2nd in favor of the analysis of the betting aspect of the game level because of the randomness of the dices and the superstitious tales around them, but whenever a player make a bet on an specific number the dices odds should be taken into account because they are the ones defining the action on the game.
The dices odds are as follows:
