Craps: House Edge by Bet
Craps has an enormous range of house edges — from literally 0% on the free Odds bet to nearly 17% on some one-roll proposition bets. Knowing which is which is the whole game.
Stick to the bets at the top of this table (the line bets and Odds); avoid the ones at the bottom (the Field and the center propositions).
