Craps
Craps odds chart
True-odds payouts and typical house edge on a two-dice table. Pass plus odds is the cheap way to play. Place bets, proposition bets, and the Field pay more because they cost more.
Education only. Odds bets have 0% house edge on the odds portion; you still need a line bet that does not. FeltEdge’s craps coach is for off-the-felt practice. Progressions do not erase the edge on the line.

How to read it
- Take odds when the table lets you. That is the only 0% piece on the layout.
- Place 6/8 is the least-bad place bet. Place 4/10 and the Fire / hop / hardways are for entertainment, not math.
- Pressing winners changes how lumpy the session feels. It does not change the edge on each bet.
