Craps Bets

Buy and Lay Bets

Buy bets are usually made on the 4 and 10. Lay bets are usually made on the 4, 5, 9 or 10. A buy bet wins if the number rolls before a 7.

A Lay bet wins when 7 roll before the number. Five percent (5%) is charged for these types of bets.

Proposition Bets

Horn Bets

Horn bets are won if the next roll is 2, 3, 11 or 12. Four dollars is the minimum bet for this choice ($1.00 for each number).

Here is the payoffs:

2 or 12 3 or 11

$30 for every $1.00 wagered $15.00 for every $1.00 wagered

Field Bets

This is a one-roll bet that may be made on any roll. If 3, 4, 9, 10, or 11 rolls, you win even money. If 2 or 12 is rolled you will win at a ratio of 2 to 1 (some casinos will pay 3 to1 on the number 12).

If any other number rolls you lose. This bet is placed in the area marked "Field" on the layout. Unless other Proposition bets, you have to wager the equivalent to a Pass or Don't line bet. For example, if the minimum Pass line bet is $5.00, you must wager at least this amount for a Field bet.

Any 7 (Big Red)

You are betting that the next roll will be a 7. This bet pays $4.00 for every $1.00 wagered.
