What Are 10x Craps? I Have Seen 2x, 5x And Now A Casino Boasting About 10x. What Is It And How Does It Compare

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

The 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x and in some places 100x that you speak of is the maximum amount of odds that you can bet on a Pass Line bet. An odds bet is placed behind your original Pass Line bet. It’s not an advertised bet (no markings to indicate it is a bet that you can make) and coincidentally it’s the best bet as far as house advantage is concerned.
Here are some examples….
You place $5 on the Pass Line…..
The most you can put behind your Pass Line bet (1.41% house advantage) for
2x - $10 (.57% house advantage)
5x - $25 (.33% house advantage)
10x - $50 (.18% house advantage)
100x - $500 (.02% house advantage)
The house advantage listed is provided you take the full odds amount behind the line.
How much you win is directly proportional to what the point is when you are betting the Pass Line.
If the point is 6 or 8, the odds are 6 to 5 behind the line, meaning you will win $6 for each $5 wagered behind the line.
If the point is 5 or 9, the odds are 3 to 2 behind the line, meaning you will win $3 for each $2 wagered behind the line.
If the point is 4 or 10, the odds are 2 to 1 behind the line, meaning you will win $2 for each $1 wagered behind the line.
You can remove, decrease or increase (as long as it’s under the maximum) your odds bet at any time during the roll BUT you cannot remove or decrease your Pass Line bet. You can increase it though.
Currently the only casino in Las Vegas offering 100x odds behind the line is Casino Royale on the Strip. Less than a dozen in Vegas offer 10x odds.
Betting the full odds does mathmatically offer the best bet in the casino but a few losses in a row can add up quickly if you are betting $500 or even $50.
