Craps Odds & Payouts Chart (2026)
Every bet on a craps table has a fixed, published payout, and every payout implies a fixed house edge once you compare it to the true odds of that bet winning. None of it is hidden or negotiable. This page is the full craps odds and payouts chart — every bet in the free craps simulator, what it actually pays, and how that payout compares to the true mathematical odds.

Craps odds and payouts chart
"True Odds" below is the fair payout with zero house edge — what the bet should pay if the casino took no cut. "Casino Payout" is what the table actually pays. The gap between the two is where the house edge comes from. Example payouts assume a flat $10 bet, rounded to the nearest cent; a few bets (Place 6/8, Place 5/9, Place 4/10) are normally sized in $6 or $5 multiples at a real table to avoid the rounding, noted where it applies.
| Bet | True Odds | Casino Payout | House Edge | Example Payout ($10 bet) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pass Line | — | 1:1 (even money) | 1.41% | Wins $10 |
| Don't Pass | — | 1:1 (pushes on 12) | 1.36% | Wins $10 (push if 12) |
| Come | — | 1:1 (even money) | 1.41% | Wins $10 |
| Don't Come | — | 1:1 (pushes on 12) | 1.36% | Wins $10 (push if 12) |
| Odds on 4 or 10 | 2:1 | 2:1 | 0.00% | Wins $20 |
| Odds on 5 or 9 | 3:2 | 3:2 | 0.00% | Wins $15 |
| Odds on 6 or 8 | 6:5 | 6:5 | 0.00% | Wins $12 |
| Place 4 | 2:1 | 9:5 | 6.67% | Wins $18 |
| Place 5 | 3:2 | 7:5 | 4.00% | Wins $14 |
| Place 6 | 6:5 | 7:6 | 1.52% | Wins $11.67 (bet $6 for a clean $7) |
| Place 8 | 6:5 | 7:6 | 1.52% | Wins $11.67 (bet $6 for a clean $7) |
| Place 9 | 3:2 | 7:5 | 4.00% | Wins $14 |
| Place 10 | 2:1 | 9:5 | 6.67% | Wins $18 |
| Buy 4 or 10 | 2:1 | 2:1 minus 5% vig | 4.76% | $10 bet + $1 vig, wins $20 ($19 net) |
| Field | 16 of 36 rolls win | Even money (2 pays 2:1, 12 pays 3:1) | 2.78% | Wins $10 (2 pays $20, 12 pays $30) |
| Any Seven | 5:1 | 4:1 | 16.67% | Wins $40 |
| Any Craps | 8:1 | 7:1 | 11.11% | Wins $70 |
| Hard 4 | 8:1 | 7:1 | 11.11% | Wins $70 |
| Hard 6 | 10:1 | 9:1 | 9.09% | Wins $90 |
| Hard 8 | 10:1 | 9:1 | 9.09% | Wins $90 |
| Hard 10 | 8:1 | 7:1 | 11.11% | Wins $70 |
Pass Line, Don't Pass, Come, and Don't Come don't get a clean "true odds" ratio in the table above — unlike a Place or Odds bet on a single number, they resolve across the whole come-out-then-point sequence, so there's no single fair-payout ratio to quote against the 1:1 they actually pay. Their house edge (verified against published references) captures that whole sequence instead.
Craps odds vs payouts
"True odds" is what a bet would pay with no house edge at all — purely a function of how many of the 36 dice combinations make it win versus lose. "Casino payout" is what the table actually pays. Every casino game needs a gap between those two numbers somewhere, or the house makes nothing. Craps is unusual because that gap isn't spread evenly across the layout — it's concentrated almost entirely in a handful of bets, while others (the Odds bet specifically) carry no gap whatsoever.
That's the whole reason a house-edge chart is more useful than a payout chart alone. A payout of "7:6" on Place 6 sounds fine in isolation. Compared against the true odds of 6:5, it's clearly a discount, and the size of that discount is exactly the 1.52% house edge in the row above.
Best bets in craps
Pass Line, Don't Pass, Come, and Don't Come sit at the top of the chart for a reason: they're the bets closest to true odds before you even add Odds behind them. Stack max Odds on top and the blended edge drops to 0.37% (Pass Line/Come) or 1.36%-adjacent territory (Don't Pass/Don't Come with lay odds) — about as close to a fair coin flip as a casino game gets.
Place 6 and Place 8 belong in the same conversation. At 1.52%, they're barely worse than a bare Pass Line bet, and unlike Pass Line you can make them any time, not just on a come-out roll. For players who want a bet with low edge but more flexibility than Pass Line, Place 6/8 is the closest thing craps has to a second foundation bet — see it run over 1 million simulated rolls.

Worst bets in craps
Proposition bets — Any Seven, Any Craps, and the hardways — cluster at the bottom of the chart, all north of 9% house edge. They're priced badly for a structural reason, not a random one: they resolve in a single roll (or a narrow set of rolls, for hardways), so the casino has far less exposure per bet and can afford to pay well below true odds while still filling the table. Any Seven is the single worst bet on the layout at 16.67%, which is a strange result given 7 is also the single most common roll — the payout of 4:1 just doesn't come close to compensating for how often the other five outcomes eat the bet.
Buy 4 and Buy 10 are worth calling out as a partial exception: the 5% commission is a flat tax on the bet, so it only makes sense on the numbers where Place pays the least. On 4 and 10 it actually beats Place (4.76% vs 6.67%); as a commission-paying bet on any other number it would be worse than Place, which is why the free simulator only exposes it as a trade worth making on 4 and 10.
How craps odds bets work
Odds bets are the one part of the layout with a 0% house edge — the casino makes no structural profit on the Odds portion of a bet, full stop. You can't make an Odds bet by itself; it only exists as a backup behind an existing Pass Line, Don't Pass, Come, or Don't Come bet, once a point is established.
The payout is set entirely by how likely that point is to repeat before a 7 shows: 2:1 on a point of 4 or 10, 3:2 on 5 or 9, 6:5 on 6 or 8. Those exact ratios are the true odds, which is why the edge is zero — the casino pays exactly what the bet is worth, no discount.
Tables cap how much Odds you can add relative to your flat bet, and "3-4-5x" is the standard cap: up to 3x your flat bet on a point of 4 or 10, 4x on 5 or 9, 5x on 6 or 8. It looks uneven at first, but it's built that way so the dollar risk comes out close to level across all three point pairs, regardless of which one gets set. The bigger the Odds bet relative to the flat portion, the more the combined bet blends toward that 0% edge — which is the entire argument for keeping the flat bet modest and putting real money behind the Odds instead.

FAQ
What bet has the best odds in craps? Pass Line or Come backed with max Odds, at a 0.37% blended house edge on a 3-4-5x table. The Odds portion by itself carries no house edge at all.
What is the house edge on the Pass Line? 1.41% with no Odds behind it. Add max Odds and the blended edge drops to 0.37%.
Do Odds bets really have a 0% house edge? Yes. Odds behind the Pass Line, Don't Pass, Come, or Don't Come pay exactly the true odds of the point repeating before a 7 — 2:1 on 4 or 10, 3:2 on 5 or 9, 6:5 on 6 or 8 — with nothing held back. It's the one bet in the building priced with zero house advantage.
What does 3-4-5x Odds mean? The maximum Odds bet allowed relative to your flat bet, keyed to the point: 3x on 4 or 10, 4x on 5 or 9, 5x on 6 or 8. It's the standard cap most tables use, and it's uneven across points on purpose so the dollar risk stays roughly level.
What are the worst bets in craps? Any Seven (16.67%) and Hard 4 or Hard 10 (11.11%) sit at the bottom of the chart above. All of the worst bets are one-roll or narrow-resolution propositions in the center of the table.
How much does a $10 craps bet pay? It depends entirely on which bet — see the full chart above or use the calculator. A $10 Pass Line bet wins $10; $10 in Odds on 6 or 8 wins $12; $10 on Any Seven wins $40.
The takeaway
If you're optimizing purely for the lowest cost of play: Pass Line or Come with max Odds, Don't Pass or Don't Come, and Place bets on 6 and 8 are the low-cost side of this chart. Everything below about 4% is paying for excitement, not value — that's a fine trade to make on purpose, just not one to make by accident.
