Betting the Pass Line
Typically online you will only find 3X odds which makes the combined house edge on the Pass Line Odds 0.47% and for the Don't Pass Odds 0.34%. The higher the multiple you can bet on the odds the lower the house edge so for example a game with 100X odds has a house edge of just 0.02%.
At a table with $5 minimum bets in a casino offering double odds, a player making the best percentage wagers at any given time will have $5 on the Pass line backed with $10 in odds, and perhaps two Come bets with odds in the same amounts. That's $45 on the table, all of which could be wiped out by one 7 roll. Payout Odds House Edge; Pass Line: 251 to 244: 1 to 1: 1.41%: Come: 251 to 244: 1 to 1: 1.41%: Don't Pass: 1031 to 949: 1 to 1: 1.36%: Don't Come (Bar 12) 1031 to 949: 1 to 1: 1.36%: Pass / Come Free Odds: 2 to 1 on 4 or 10 3 to 2 on 5 or 9 6 to 5 on 6 or 8: 2 to 1 on 4 or 10 3 to 2 on 5 or 9 6 to 5 on 6 or 8: 0%: Don't Pass / Don't Come Free Odds: 1 to 2 on 4 or 10 2 to 3 on 5 or 9 5 to 6 on 6 or 8.

Consequently, the odds bet has a house edge of 0%. Overall, the pass line bet is definitely one of the best bets on the craps table with a house edge of 1.41%. Paying out over 1/1, the Pass Line - 5 or 9 bet will reward you with a 3/2 payout on a 40% probability of winning. The house edge for this bet is 4.76%. Although the odds are lower than the other medium odds options, this is still a good choice for players who want craps payouts larger than 1/1.
Do's and Don'ts of the Pass line Bet
When betting right (Do, DEWEY or With the Shooter), the player makes a bet before the first roll of the dice (Coming Out) that the shooter will either roll a 7 or 11, or roll any number but a 2, 3, or 12.
If he rolls a number, called the Point, he must roll that number again before he rolls a 7. If he does this successfully, he'll win that roll. It's known as 'Making the point. If you bet the Pass Line, and the shooter makes his point, you win your bet. The Pass Line bet is always paid off at even money. It's a good wager.
When betting wrong (Don't or Against the Shooter) the player takes the opposite position from a right bettor. He's wagering that the shooter will either roll a 2, or a 3 on his come out, or roll a number and 7-out before he repeats that number on subsequent rolls. It's also a good bet and is paid at even money.
If you're a wrong bettor, understand that certain rules and etiquette apply to you. Craps is a social game and more often than not, wrong bettors are considered unlucky by the of right bettors at the table. So, my advice is to keep your hands off the rails, so you don't touch the dice when the shooter is rolling, when it's your turn to shoot, pass the rubies to the next guy, and be understated when the shooter sevens out and you win your bet.
On both of these bets, the house advantage is 1.4%, one of the lowest advantages in the casino. When the player takes odds, which are paid at correct, or true payoffs, the house advantage shrinks to .8% at single odds and .6% on double odds. Understand that I do not usually recommend players lay or give odds to the house on Don't or wrong play, so this discussion of odds applies (as far as I'm concerned) to the right bettor.
Taking the odds on the Pass Line
Taking odds on the pass line number is a very good bet, as it lowers the house advantage. But know that even though the house edge is lower, you're still wagering additional chips. That's real money. If the table's cold, all the odds in the world won't save you.
Playtika rewards games. Numbers 10 and 4 payoff on odds bet (Behind the Line) at 2 to 1, so any amount free odds the house allows you will always be paid at 2 to 1. This contrasts with a place bet on the 4 or 10 paid at 9 to 5. With a $10 dollar pass line and a $20 dollar odds bet, you'd be paid at even money, $10 for the pass and $40 for your odds.
Numbers 5 and 9 as a pass line number will be paid at true odds of 3 to 2. For example, if pass line bet is $10 dollars and you bet $20 dollars odds (Double Odds or 2X Odds), the house pays you $30 dollars for your $20 dollars odds bet and $10 dollars for your original pass line wager. On a placed 5 or 9, you'd be paid $ 28 dollars for that wager.
On numbers 6 and 8, if your bet on the pass line is $ 10 dollars, the house will pay you 6 to 5 on your odds bet. Therefore, your $20 dollars behind the line will return $24 dollars.
You MUST KNOW the odds, both true odds and the payoff odds for all bets. Whether you wager as a Positive (Dewey) player, or a Don't player, and you take or lay odds, it's your responsibility to understand this part of the game.

Pass Line Payouts
If the dice lands on a point number such as 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10, then that number will be established as the point number. If you have wagered on the pass line, then the shooter must roll that same point number before rolling a 7 in order to win the bet. Remember, the seven is the most probable number to roll out of all the others. You basically have the advantage on the come out roll and the disadvantage if you have to roll the point later on in the round.
