Craps Payout Table
Standard payouts · Bet multiples · House edge
This craps payout table shows the standard profit paid on the most common bets, the correct betting multiple, and the approximate house edge. Keep it open at the table or use it to check a dealer-friendly bet amount before playing.
Read “9 to 5” correctly: a winning $5 bet earns $9 in profit, and the original $5 wager remains yours. Actual tables can use different field, bonus, buy-bet, or commission rules. The layout and posted rules control.
Main craps bets and payouts
| Bet | Standard payout | House edge | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pass Line | 1 to 1 | 1.41% | Wins on 7 or 11 on the come-out; loses on 2, 3, or 12 |
| Don’t Pass | 1 to 1 | 1.36% | 12 normally pushes; check whether the table bars 2 instead |
| Come | 1 to 1 | 1.41% | Same mathematics as Pass Line after the bet is made |
| Don’t Come | 1 to 1 | 1.36% | Same mathematics as Don’t Pass after the bet is made |
| Pass/Come Odds | True odds | 0.00% | Requires an established point and a base Pass or Come bet |
| Don’t Pass/Don’t Come Odds | True odds | 0.00% | You lay more than you can win on some points |
Place bet payout table
| Place number | Correct multiple | Standard payout | Example | House edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 or 10 | $5 | 9 to 5 | $10 wins $18 | 6.67% |
| 5 or 9 | $5 | 7 to 5 | $10 wins $14 | 4.00% |
| 6 or 8 | $6 | 7 to 6 | $12 wins $14 | 1.52% |
The dealer can usually accept an improper amount, but the payout may be rounded down. Bet the 6 and 8 in multiples of $6 and the other place numbers in multiples of $5 to receive the full standard payout.
Odds bet payouts
| Point | Taking odds behind Pass/Come | Laying odds behind Don’t Pass/Don’t Come |
|---|---|---|
| 4 or 10 | 2 to 1 | 1 to 2 |
| 5 or 9 | 3 to 2 | 2 to 3 |
| 6 or 8 | 6 to 5 | 5 to 6 |
Odds bets pay the true mathematical odds and have no built-in house edge. The combined Pass-plus-Odds or Don’t-Pass-plus-Odds wager still has an expected loss because the required base bet has a house edge.
Hardways and one-roll proposition bets
| Bet | Standard payout | Example $5 win | House edge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hard 4 or Hard 10 | 7 to 1 | $35 | 11.11% |
| Hard 6 or Hard 8 | 9 to 1 | $45 | 9.09% |
| Any 7 | 4 to 1 | $20 | 16.67% |
| Any Craps (2, 3, or 12) | 7 to 1 | $35 | 11.11% |
| 2 or 12 | 30 to 1 | $150 | 13.89% |
| 3 or 11 | 15 to 1 | $75 | 11.11% |
| Hard Hop | 30 to 1 | $150 | 13.89% |
| Easy Hop | 15 to 1 | $75 | 11.11% |
| Big 6 or Big 8 | 1 to 1 | $5 | 9.09% |
| $4 Horn | Combination payout | Depends on result | 12.50% |
Proposition bets are easy to make and exciting to watch, but their payouts are generally much worse than the true odds. The Any 7 is especially expensive: 30 combinations lose and only six win, so the true odds against winning are 5 to 1 while the standard payout is only 4 to 1.
Field bet payouts
| Field paytable | House edge |
|---|---|
| 2 pays double; 12 pays double | 5.56% |
| One of 2 or 12 pays double; the other pays triple | 2.78% |
| Both 2 and 12 pay triple | 0.00% |
All other winning Field totals—3, 4, 9, 10, and 11—normally pay even money. Look at the printed layout because the double/triple rule materially changes the bet.
Buy and lay bet payouts
Buy and lay bets use true-odds payouts but charge a commission, usually called the vig. Commission rules are not uniform. Some tables collect it when the bet is made; others collect it only when the bet wins. Some round the commission to the nearest dollar or require specific bet amounts.
| Number | Buy bet before commission | Lay bet before commission |
|---|---|---|
| 4 or 10 | 2 to 1 | 1 to 2 |
| 5 or 9 | 3 to 2 | 2 to 3 |
| 6 or 8 | 6 to 5 | 5 to 6 |
With a standard 5% commission collected only on wins, the effective edge is approximately 1.67% on 4/10, 2.00% on 5/9, and 2.27% on 6/8. When the commission is collected up front, the effective cost is higher. On 6 and 8, a standard place bet is normally better than paying a buy-bet commission.
Quick payout examples
| Bet made | Winning profit | Total returned if wager comes down |
|---|---|---|
| $10 Pass Line | $10 | $20 |
| $10 Place 4 or 10 | $18 | $28 |
| $10 Place 5 or 9 | $14 | $24 |
| $12 Place 6 or 8 | $14 | $26 |
| $5 Hard 6 or 8 | $45 | $50 |
| $5 Any 7 | $20 | $25 |
| $5 on 2 or 12 | $150 | $155 |
Payout versus house edge
A large payout does not mean a bet is good. It normally means the winning result is rare. House edge compares the casino payout with the true probability of winning. For example, a single total of 12 has true odds of 35 to 1 against, but the standard proposition bet pays only 30 to 1. That difference produces the casino’s edge.
If your goal is to reduce expected loss, concentrate on Pass, Don’t Pass, Come, Don’t Come, and the associated odds bets. Place 6 and Place 8 are the least expensive standard place bets. High-payout proposition bets belong in the entertainment category, not the mathematical-value category.

House-edge percentages are calculated from the 36 equally likely combinations of two fair six-sided dice and the standard payouts shown above. Values are rounded to two decimal places.
Responsible play: Payout knowledge does not remove the casino advantage. Decide what you can afford to spend before playing and never chase losses.
hop bets?
Hop bets are like the horn but offer every combination. For example, if you can do a 5-3 hop bet for an 8 or 1-4 for a 5 and it pays 15:1. They are only good for the next throw.
How much will a horn high 12 pay with a $10 bet?
If 12 is rolled.
Formula = 11 x wager + amount on the 12
If 3 or 11 is rolled.
Formula = 2 x wager plus amount on # that rolled
If aces is rolled
Formula = 5 x wager plus amount on aces
$ 110.00
If I bet $20 on the horn and the dice roll 12. How much do I win?
you get $134
$570.00
Hello P!
Thank you for the comment, kindly see this page for the response. https://www.crapspit.org/if-i-bet-20-on-the-horn-and-the-dice-roll-is-12-how-much-do-i-win/
what would be the key to hop the hard ways and the easy 4 and 10…( what we call the third row )…so 10$ hopping 6 numbers lets say????
Uncle Carl, we don’t understand what you’re asking when you say, “what would be the key.” The only “key” regarding that bet combination is that it’s a terribly bad, bad bet. The house advantage for a Hardway Hop bet is about 14%, and the house advantage for an Easyway Hop bet is about 11%. So, with your stated bet combination, you make all the following bad bets all at once: $2 each on the Hopping Hardway 4, 6, 8, and 10; and $2 on the Hopping Easyway 4-10. With that combination, you have four bets each having a 14% house advantage, and one bet having an 11% house advantage. The “key” to that bet combination is that it’s just about the worst thing you can do at a craps table, in terms of giving the house an advantage. We suggest stop trying to find ways to gain an advantage over the casino. The casino loves players who think they have some sort of sophisticated system (i.e., bet combinations and patterns) that can gain an advantage over them. Play smart, which means learning the math of the game so you don’t fall for these kinds of foolish systems.
So what would be a smart play at the table
