Key takeaways

  • Any Seven is the most expensive bet on a standard craps table.
  • Any Craps costs less but still about eight times more than the pass line.
  • Both bets are decided on the very next roll.
  • Hedging the pass line with Any Craps adds cost and does not change the long-run math.

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

BetEdgeAverage loss at 100 rolls
Any Seven16.67%About $83
Any Craps11.11%About $56
Pass line1.41%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.

Sequence

Placing a center bet

  1. Step 01

    Wait for the dice

    Bet before the stickman sends them.

  2. Step 02

    Toss chips to the center

    Call the bet clearly.

  3. Step 03

    Watch the roll

    It wins or loses at once.

  4. Step 04

    Collect or let it ride

    Winning bets often stay up unless you say down.

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.

Floor rules

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.
Stickman
Dealer who runs the center bets.

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.

Common mistakes

Calling "any" without a number
Say "any seven" or "any craps".
Using Any Seven as a hedge
It costs the most of any bet.
Forgetting winners stay up
Ask to take it down.
Mixing up 7 to 1 and 8 to 1
