Understanding Laying the Odds in Craps
Summary
In craps, laying the odds means betting against the shooter or a specific number being rolled before a seven. This is known as playing the "don't" side, where the bettor hopes for a seven to appear before the shooter's number. A “don’t” bet, like a “don’t ten,” involves the original wager plus additional odds laid down, such as $20 to win $10. The original bet pays even money.
How It Works
- Don’t Four or Ten: Lay equal amounts to win half (e.g., $20 to win $10).
- Don’t Five or Nine: Lay $9 to win $6.
- Don’t Six or Eight: Lay $6 to win $5.
You need to risk more when laying odds on a "don't" bet, which often discourages players. This cautious approach is sometimes seen as pessimistic, but it’s actually a strategic move. "Don’t" bettors are aligning with the house odds, gaining a slight advantage on a cold table.
Strategic Insights
Though it requires a higher stake, playing the "don't" side can be the winning strategy on a cold table. This involves placing "don't" bets similar to placing "come" bets, although they’re not as popular among players. Laying odds behind a "don't come" bet is like betting behind the line on a "come" bet, necessitating a larger sum, as you're laying odds instead of taking them. The math remains the same in both strategies, but perception often leads players away from these bets.
Final Thoughts
While "don’t" betting may seem counterintuitive due to the table’s energy, it provides a mathematical edge. If you have the resources and are keen on exploiting this advantage, "don’t come" betting can be a savvy choice in craps.
