Craps Lay Odds Bet

by admin

Lay Bets are the opposite of the Buy Bets, except Lay Bets are wagering against the shooter. Like a buy bet, a Lay Bet allows a gambler to be paid true odds. To receive those nice votes, the craps player pays a 5% commission on their winning bets. Lay bets are made on one of the “point” numbers: 4,5,6,8,9, and 10.

The odds of you winning both a pass and don't pass bet is 49.3%, making this one of the best bets to place when playing craps. If you are new to the game, then this bet is a great way to get confidence around the table. The odds in favor or your winning lay bets are 6-5 on 6 or 8, 3-2 on 5 or 9 or 2-1 on 4 or 10. LAY BETS PAYOFFS AND COMMISSION Because you win more often than you lose, the house charges a commission in order to gain an edge. Payoffs are commensurate with true odds. If you bet $6 on 6 or 8, a winner will bring you $5.

That means there are six different lay bets: The Lay 4, Lay 5, Lay 6, Lay 8, Lay 9, and Lay 10 wagers. As an example, to win the Lay 8 bet, the shooter needs to roll a 7 before they roll an 8
