It's up to you how fast you want to lose your money as craps should be for entertainment purposes only. I know in the short term anything can happen but if you play over time there is only one possible outcome. Odds in conjunction with flat bets lower the house edge to less than 1 percent, even at single odds. Start betting prop and bonus bets and the house edge goes up to over 10 percent on most of them. Even so flat bets on the pass/come with no odds (1.41 to the house ) are still better than place bets (1.52 percent 6 and 8), (4 percent 5 and 9) (6.67 percent 4 and 10). Where you lose with odds is they can only be made in conjunction with a flat bet and that's where you, the player, are at a disadvantage. With odds you are getting the correct 2 to 1 meaning over time you will break even because the house is taking nothing. Either the 4 or 10 will roll 1 time for every 2 times the 7 rolls but you are not getting 2 to 1 meaning the casino makes $1 every time you win on a $5 bet, you will lose the other 2 times. If you make a place 4 or 10 the casino is giving you 9 to 5.
