Craps: the rules, the odds and the house edge

Two dice, 36 ways
Seven is the most likely total, six ways in 36. The pass line wins at once on 7 or 11 and loses on 2, 3 or 12; any other total becomes the point, and the point must come again before a 7. Free odds behind the line pay exactly the true odds, so they cost nothing.

Play chips are free and worth nothing. Real gambling costs real money; if it stops being fun, help is one call away.
