$44 Inside — Cover All Four Inside Numbers

What Is the $44 Inside?

The $44 Inside strategy is one of craps' most popular and straightforward approaches — Place the four inside numbers (5, 6, 8, and 9) for a total of $44. You're covered on 18 of 36 possible dice combinations. Simple to set up, easy to manage, and you're getting paid on half of all rolls.

How It Works

After the come-out roll establishes a point, tell the dealer "forty-four inside" and toss $44 to the layout. The dealer splits it:

• $10 on the 5 — pays 7:5 ($14) · 4 ways to roll
• $12 on the 6 — pays 7:6 ($14) · 5 ways to roll
• $12 on the 8 — pays 7:6 ($14) · 5 ways to roll
• $10 on the 9 — pays 7:5 ($14) · 4 ways to roll

All four bets pay the same $14 on a hit, regardless of which number rolls. Clean and simple. A 7 wipes all four simultaneously for a $44 loss.

50,000-Roll Simulation

Run the simulation below to see how the $44 Inside performs across 50,000 dice rolls. Every run uses a fresh random seed — notice how individual sessions vary due to variance, while the long-run trend converges toward the theoretical house edge of 2.5%.

Strategy & Tips

The most popular management approach: collect (don't press) on the first hit, then evaluate. After two or three hits, start pressing individual bets or pulling them down to lock in profit.

The Inside Regress variation starts at $110 Inside (2.5× the standard sizing), then drops to $44 Inside after the first hit. The larger initial bet means the first win covers most of your exposure — then you ride the shooter at reduced risk.

$44 Inside is also the base of Iron Cross — add a Field bet and you cover every number except 7.
