In craps, rolling a 2, 3, or 12 is a loss and is termed “crapping out.” An any craps bet is when a player believes the shooter's next roll will be either a 2, 3, or 12. This bet is also known as a “Three-way wager” because there are only three winning outcomes.
It is a single-roll bet that only lasts for one round, and players do not have to wait for a point to be established before making the bet. Experienced players do not like making this bet because it involves wagering against the dice instead of betting on the dice to win.
How to Play Any Craps Bet
The any craps bet is simple, and this is how it works in practice:
- Player wagers that the shooter will roll a 2, 3, or 12 on their next roll and places the any craps bet.
- The shooter throws a 3 on the next roll.
- The any craps bet wins.
This bet has an odds payout of 7:1, which means that if a player wagers $1, they will receive a $7 payout. The house edge of the bet is 11.11%, which is why it is quite unpopular among experienced players. If you are a beginner, an advisable craps strategy is to stick to bets with lower house edges, or you will lose a lot of your money.
The best way to maximize the any craps bet is by combining it with other bets to improve the outcome of the bet. For example, players can combine the any craps bet with the pass line bet, which has a lower house edge of 1.41%. With multiple bets active at the same time, you can ensure that the odds are stacked in your favor. This bet is an exciting way to spice up your craps gambling.
