In the centre of the craps table is an area marked out for the proposition bets. Proposition bets are bets that the next roll of the dice will bet the number you say it is. In other words if you make a proposition bet on a twelve, if the next roll of the dice comes up a twelve then you win. Proposition bets can be very tempting. The area marked out for them on the table is a big section in the very centre of the table, often in contrasting colours. The payouts for proposition bets are the highest of any bet on the table. A proposition bet on an eleven or a three pays out at 15-1, and a two or twelve pays out at 30-1. You can also make a proposition bet that the next roll will be any craps pays out at 7-1. There is a proposition bet available where you can bet the next roll will be either a craps or an eleven and that pays out at 3-1 if the roll is craps or 7-1 if the roll is eleven.

With these high payouts, proposition bets sound very tempting indeed. But on a craps table the most tempting bets are usually the worst and the proposition bet is no exception. Although the payouts are high, the odds against actually winning them are higher still. The disparity between the payout odds and the odds of winning a proposition bet is enormous, thus giving the house a large edge on those bets. In fact, the house edge on proposition bets is the highest of all bets, ranging from 11.1% to 16.67%. In short, this means that you are going to loose money faster making proposition bets than any other bet on the craps table. The occasional proposition bet can be a laugh, but it will never be part of the game of someone who prefers to win. |
