Craps Appendix 2
Last update: April 23, 2002
This appendix shows the house edge for all the major craps bet on both a per bet made and per roll basis. A handy use for this appendix is to estimate expected losses over time. For example assume a game has 60 rolls per hour and you always bet $25 on pass line, $10 on the place 6, and $5 on any 7. The expected hourly loss would be 60*($25*0.42% + $10*0.46% + $5*16.67%) = $59.06.
