What Is the Pass + Odds?
The Free Odds bet is the only wager in any casino that pays at true mathematical odds — meaning the house has zero edge on it. You can only access it by first placing a Pass Line bet. Once a point is set, slide your Odds bet behind your Pass Line chips. The more you put on Odds relative to your flat bet, the lower your combined house edge.
How It Works
After the come-out roll establishes a point, you can place an Odds bet directly behind your Pass Line bet on the layout. This bet pays at true odds — exactly what the math says it should pay — with no house cut:
- Point 4 or 10: Pays 2:1 (2 ways to make it vs 6 ways to 7-out)
- Point 5 or 9: Pays 3:2 (4 ways vs 6 ways)
- Point 6 or 8: Pays 6:5 (5 ways vs 6 ways)
Most casinos offer 3-4-5x odds: 3x your Pass Line bet on 4/10, 4x on 5/9, 5x on 6/8. This structure conveniently makes every Odds payout a multiple of your Pass Line bet. InfiniteCraps supports max odds automatically.

Strategy & Tips
The core principle: minimize your flat Pass Line bet, maximize your Odds bet. Your flat bet carries the 1.41% house edge. Your Odds bet carries 0%. By shifting money from the flat bet to Odds, you dilute the edge across your total action.
With 3-4-5x odds, the combined edge on total money at risk is 0.37%. With 10x odds (offered at some Vegas casinos), it drops to 0.18%. The math is unambiguous — take every dollar of Odds the casino will let you.
Pair this with the 3-Point Molly for maximum coverage: Pass Line plus two Come bets, all backed with max Odds. Three numbers working simultaneously at 0.37% combined edge — the most efficient craps strategy that exists.
