One of the captivating games to play at casino parties is craps. It’s packed with high stakes, fast-paced action, and plenty of players around the table to revel in the excitement with you. Whether you have some experience with the game or will soon be attending your first casino party, you’ll need to know the best ways to place your bets so you can win big.

3 Best Wagers to Make at the Craps Table

1. Place 6 & Place 8

Place six and place eight bets are ideal if you want to make a simple bet with a high return. Begin by placing your wager under the dotted line beneath the six or eight. Be sure you’re putting it on the far side of the craps table and not on the red spaces in the corner. The location changes the odds if you win. If you roll a six or eight before rolling a seven with your wager in the right spot, your win will give you a 7:6 payout on your bet. However, if you win under a “big six” or “big eight” in the red corner, you’ll earn a lower return on your bet. 

2. Pass Line

The pass line bet is a simple strategy that lets you and most of the players at the table back the shooter, or the person rolling the dice. It has a low house edge percentage, so your odds of winning are higher. After placing your wager on the pass line, the shooter will roll the dice. If they roll a seven or eleven, everyone who placed a pass line bet wins. A two, three, or 12 loses the bet. However, if any other numbers are rolled, the number is set, and the shooter has to roll it again before hitting a seven. 

3. The Odds

If you want to make the game more exciting and increase your winnings, go for the odds bet. It’s accessible to anyone at the table currently making pass line bets after a number is set. To make the wager, slide extra chips behind your initial bet on the pass line. The minimum and maximum amount you can stack varies from venue to venue, but once you are aware of the stakes for your casino party, you can earn big.
