Craps Betting Odds Horn
- Craps Payouts Which bets are the best on Craps Odds. Continued from online craps odds part 1. Again, when it comes to playing online craps, the numbers you roll are out of your control and can only be determined by luck, but understanding the odds of rolling the numbers can help you make the right play and teach you which bets are the best ones to choose based on the odds.
- A truly unique bet type, the Horn allows players to combine four individual wagers into one. The Horn covers all three Craps numbers (2,3 and 12) as well as the number 11. Some seasoned craps players opt for incorporating the Horn bet into their betting pattern to diversify their gameplay and add more excitement to their session.
The Interblock I was playing was 25 cent minimum to 2k total max bet. It took 25 cent bets on everything except 6&8 place bets and lay bets. You can buy a 6 or 8 for 25 cents. You don’t have to do any math in your head to calculate how much odds to put down or whether the bet multiple is $5 or $6. You don’t have worry about bridging or heeling your Don’t Pass odds. You don’t have to think or worry about anything. To make this bet, simply put down any amount between the table minimum and maximum.

Dice pass:The dice are said to 'pass' when the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 on the come-out roll. The dice 'don't pass' when the shooter rolls a 2, 3, or 12 on the come-out. If the come-out roll is a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, this roll sets the 'point', and the shooter continues to roll until the point is rolled again or a 7 is rolled (see 'seven out'). If the shooter rolls the point before rolling a seven, the dice pass. If the shooter sevens out, the dice don't pass and the shooter loses control of the dice. NOTE: in this context, 'pass' does NOT mean that the dice to given to the next player. Control of the dice is transferred only when the shooter 'sevens out' or when the shooter has completed a game and no longer wishes to roll the dice.

The big advantage to put bets is that you get to choose your own point numbers. The disadvantage is that you lose out on come out sevens and elevens.

Shooter: The player who is rolling the dice. The shooter must place a 'line' bet ('pass' or 'don't pass') in order to be eligible to roll the dice. Of course, the shooter can place other bets in addition to the required 'line' bet. Most shooters (and players) tend to play the 'pass' line. Note that shooters who make 'don't pass' bets are not betting against themselves, they are simply betting that the dice will not 'pass'.
