Private Craps Odds

Knowing the mathematical odds of the dice achieving a certain outcome is the essence of the game. Hustlers and the more experienced players will agree odds in their favour with the less experienced player.

The shooter is at a slight disadvantage with the centre bet since the odds of the dice winning for them are only 970 times out of 1980. The edge against the shooter works out as 1.414%.

 

There are 36 possible outcomes of two dice. The following tables show the true odds for the specified outcome of the dice. If you are going to play for money then try and remember these odds.

(A) This column gives the number of possible ways of making the dice total.

(B) This column gives the odds against making the dice total in a single roll.

(C) This column gives the odds against rolling the dice total before a 7.

(D) These columns give the odds against making the higher dice total before the lower dice total. e.g. 12 before 6 = 5 - 1. For making the lower number before the higher, reverse the odds. e.g. 6 before 12 = 1 - 5.
