Worst bet in craps? According to many experts and seasoned players in craps, these are the proposition bets. And in these bets lies what is called the Big Red, or a wager made on the possibility that a number 7 will be rolled out next. This will be determined after the immediate next roll of the dice. If a 7 is rolled out, then you will be paid with 4:1 odds, but if other number results in the dice roll, then your bet is lost.

There are 36 possible number combination after rolling a pair of dice. And out of these, only 6 combination will result to 7. Thus, the ratio of other numbers to a 7 appearing in one dice roll is 30:6, or if reduced to lowest terms, it should be 5:1, which means 5 dice rolls out of 6 will result to other numbers, while only one roll will result into 7. But almost every casino pays out the Big Red bet at 4:1 odds, which is worse than the true 5:1 odds. That is, the experts really have reasons to advise that the Big Red is a very bad bet to make in craps.

Interestingly enough, I’ve come across an article by Larry Freiwald in AhCraps.com that contradicts this advice from most experts. Actually, he stated that the Big Red has the greatest money-making potential in the game of craps, despite of it being the most misunderstood and under-used betting strategy in craps. Following is a very brief summary of his article.

Are you also fond of playing craps? Well, I do. In fact, this is one of my favorite casino games. Craps is considered as one of the most exciting and the most lively casino social table games played in different casinos worldwide today. And as a matter of fact, this excitement has not ceased to exist in online craps games.

Craps is a game filled with so much fun, and it offers the players a very wide variety of wager to make. This game may seem a little of a mess and intimidating for craps beginners, considering the complexity and the odd jargon of the game, such as the hard ways and horn bets. But as you play the game and roll the dice more often, you will find out that this game is relatively simple to enjoy and master (compared to other table games such as poker and blackjack), and you will also find it more rewarding than as it may seem at the start.
