In online casino Craps, players throw two dice that can score thirty six differently numbered comblinations. These combinations include a total of 11 different sums, which are used when calculating casino craps odds. These are:

  • 2 (1-1)
  • 3 (1-2, 2-1)
  • 4 (1-3, 2-2, 3-1)
  • 5 (1-4, 2-3, 3-2, 4-1)
  • 6 (1-5, 2-4, 3-3, 4-2, 5-1)
  • 7 (1-6, 2-5, 3-4, 4-3, 5-2, 6-1)
  • 8 (2-6, 5-3, 4-4, 3-5, 6-2)
  • 9 (3-6, 4-5, 5-4, 6-3)
  • 10 (4-6, 5-5, 6-4)
  • 11 (5-6, 6-5)
  • 12 (6-6)

The probability of these scores appearing on the dice determines the Online Casinos Craps odds and payoffs of all of the bets made for Craps.

The casino holds an edge on all of the bets by paying less that the true Craps odds, and while for some bets this difference is substantial, for others it’s minor or even doesn’t exist, as in the free odds bets. Since the early days of Craps history, Craps has been considered the most profitable casino game. Even today, online Craps offer the best stakes and prize ratio, better than any other online casinos games, and this is all because of the great Craps odds it offers.

The highest Craps odds are for the number seven, which means there are the most comblinations to reach the seven number that for any other number listed above.

There are 6 different ways to make the 7 number. When you follow Craps rules you should always try to bet on numbers closer to the 7, because these numbers have better Craps odds and are more likely to come up. 6 has more ways to be rolled than 4, for example.
