In the game of Craps you are considered to be one of two types
of bettors, you are either a wrong bettor or a right bettor. You
are said to be a right bettor when you bet that the point will
be rolled before a seven gets rolled. And you are a ‘wrong
bettor’ when you bet that the seven will be rolled before
a point is established. Most of the players that bet on the Craps
game are right bettors, you can see this when you walk into any
casino and see people standing around the table yelling and laughing.
The reason that so many people usually like to bet this way is
because it is the way of the crowd, if you are in a land based
casino and you bet with the shooter you are going to be able to
join in all of the fun because when he wins you win it is just
natural to want to bet that way.
In the same aspect many people who bet wrong are hated by people
at the table because if you are the wrong bettor then you are
the only won excited when the shooter misses his or her point.
No matter which bet that you decide to make you have the same
privileges of anyone else at the table but in different times.
Right bettors can make free odds bets after a point has been made
on the pass and come bets just as wrong bettors can on their don’t
pass and don’t come bets. There is however a small difference,
when a right bettor makes a bet on free odds they pay true odds
at 6 to 5 if the point is a 6 or 8, 3 to 2 if the point is a 5
or 8 and 2 to 1 if the point is a 4 or a 10. If the point is a
6 a winning wager of $10 will get a right bettor $20 if the shooter
makes that point. Here is the difference the wrong bettor has
to lay the odds, which means that if the point established is
a 8 they don’t bet $10 to make $20 they do the opposite
they bet $20 to win $10.
I know this doesn’t seem to make much sense, it is this
way because the odds favor the wrong bettors after a point has
been decided. If the free odds are to be a no edge bet on the
wrong bettor side the players must see the house odds and not
the other way around. When you see all of this in writing and
not in an actual game it all seems very confusing which is why
we recommend that you go into an online casino that will allow
you to play for free before you start to wager your own money.
This way you can try betting on both sides and see what the differences
are.
