Craps Full Double Odds
For games of craps in either land-based or online
casinos, it is common to hear the terms "Full Double
Odds" and "3-4-5 Odds".
Full Double Odds means that gamblers can receive
odds of 2.5x on die points of six or eight, and odds
of 2x for all remaining possible points. The
reason the casino does this is to help make the 6:5
payoff round figures when winning bets for points 6
or 8 are not made in $5 increments.
It is important to be aware of this, for the
casino will end up shorting you the full payoff you
truly deserve. For instance, if you take
Double Odds on a $12 Pass Line bet, the full wager
will be $24 ($12 x 2), and the payoff would be
$28.80. However, the casino will only pay you
$28 to keep from dealing in loose change.
In order to insure a full payoff, simply multiply
your wager by 2.5, which in this case would be: $12
x 2.5 = $30. Making a wager with Double odds
for $30 will payoff an even $36 with no
shortchanging by the casino.
