Craps Payout Chart: Bet Multiples, Odds and Examples
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.
Quick-reference payout chart
Choose the wager first, then match the stake. These winning amounts are profit only, under the standard ratios in the detailed tables below. The example stakes are arithmetic examples, not a promise that a casino accepts that minimum.
| Winning wager | Stake | Profit |
|---|---|---|
| Pass / Come flat bet | $5 | $5 |
| Place 4 or 10 | $5 | $9 |
| Place 5 or 9 | $5 | $7 |
| Place 6 or 8 | $6 | $7 |
| Take Odds: point 4 or 10 | $10 | $20 |
| Take Odds: point 5 or 9 | $10 | $15 |
| Take Odds: point 6 or 8 | $10 | $12 |
Returned stake is separate: a winning $6 Place 6 earns $7. Collect $7 with $6 still exposed if you leave the bet up, or $13 if you take it down. The taking-Odds rows describe only the attached Odds stake; add the flat bet’s separate profit and returned stake when reconciling the whole contract.
For a different amount, use the payout auditor. Check accepted increments, fee timing and whether the wager stays up before comparing its result with a dealer payment. Odds limits and the required flat contract still apply.
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.
When the winning Place bet stays on the layout
Suppose you Place the 6 for $18 and it wins. At 7 to 6, the payout is $21 in profit. If you leave the $18 bet working, the dealer pays $21 while the $18 remains on the layout and can lose to a later 7. Your rail has gained $21, but you have not taken back the stake.
If you ask to take the Place bet down after the win, the amount returned is $39: $21 profit plus the original $18. This distinction matters when comparing a dealer payout, a game-history entry or a copied bet summary. The displayed $39 is not $39 of profit; $18 was already yours. Check whether the wager stayed working before assuming a shorter-looking payment was wrong.
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 |
For Buy bets with a standard 5% commission on the stake 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.

- Washington State Gambling Commission: approved electronic craps rules — definitions for Pass, Don’t Pass, Odds, Place, Buy, and related wagers.
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.
Buy and Lay commission: identify the fee basis first
The Buy-bet percentages above assume a 5% fee on the amount bought, collected only on a win, without a minimum fee or rounding. For a Lay bet, confirm whether the fee is based on the amount you stand to win. Applying 5% to the wrong amount produces the wrong net payout.
For example, buying the 4 for $100 wins $200 before commission. A 5% fee on the $100 stake is $5, leaving $195 profit when collected only on a win. Taking the bet down returns another $100 of your own stake, for $295 in all.
Laying against the 4 for $100 instead wins $50 before commission. If the fee is 5% of that potential $50 win, it is $2.50, leaving $47.50 profit. Taking the bet down returns $147.50 in all. If the house charges a rounded or minimum fee, replace $2.50 with the actual charge; do not assume this fractional fee is accepted.
Write down the stake, potential win, fee basis, rounding and collection timing separately. Use those exact inputs in the payout auditor; a familiar “5% commission” label alone is not enough to reconcile a payment.
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
Editorial clarification — September 7, 2026: The historical answer above is $1 short. A $20 Horn bet normally puts $5 each on 2, 3, 11 and 12. When 12 rolls, its 30-to-1 profit is $150; the other three $5 bets lose $15. Net profit is therefore $135, and the total returned is $155 when the winning $5 stake is included. See the step-by-step Horn calculation. The original reply is preserved for context.
$570.00
Editorial clarification — September 7, 2026: The historical answer above is incorrect for the question asked. A $20 Horn bet divided equally across 2, 3, 11 and 12 produces $150 profit on the winning $5 bet on 12, less $15 lost on the other three numbers. That is $135 net profit and $155 total returned, including the winning stake. See the complete Horn-bet explanation. The original reply is preserved for context.
Hello P!
Thank you for the comment, kindly see this page for the response. https://www.crapspit.org/if-i-bet-20-on-the-horn-and-the-dice-roll-is-12-how-much-do-i-win/
what would be the key to hop the hard ways and the easy 4 and 10…( what we call the third row )…so 10$ 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
