True odds vs payouts
| Bet | True odds | Pays | Short by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Any Seven | 5 to 1 | 4 to 1 | 1 unit |
| Any Craps | 8 to 1 | 7 to 1 | 1 unit |
| Eleven | 17 to 1 | 15 to 1 | 2 units |
| Aces | 35 to 1 | 30 to 1 | 5 units |
The gap between true odds and payout is the casino’s edge.
How you place them
These bets sit in the center box, run by the stickman. Toss chips to the center and call the bet, such as "any craps, five dollars".
They stay live for one roll only, then win or come down.
Cost per hour at $5
| Bet | Edge | Average loss at 100 rolls |
|---|---|---|
| Any Seven | 16.67% | About $83 |
| Any Craps | 11.11% | About $56 |
| Pass line | 1.41% | About $2 |
Pass line resolves less often, so its hourly cost is lower still.
The hedge idea
Some players bet Any Craps on the come-out to protect a pass line bet against 2, 3 or 12. It wins about one roll in nine.
The hedge reduces swings, but it adds an 11% edge to the money used. Over time it costs more than it saves.

Hop and horn relatives
Horn and hop bets cover single totals or exact dice. C and E splits a bet between Any Craps and Eleven.
All center bets share high edges; the field is the only one-roll bet with a much lower edge.

Center bet terms
Know before you sit
- Any Seven
- A one-roll bet on 7.
- Any Craps
- A one-roll bet on 2, 3 or 12.
- C and E
- Craps and eleven, split in one bet.

A lower-cost alternative
If you want action on every roll, a field bet with a triple 12 has about a 2.78% edge. Pass line odds bets carry no edge at all, so they cost far less than any center bet.
