Craps is a fantastic game but it is also a very strange game in many ways. One thing to be particularly aware of is that Craps offers some of the best bets in a casino with the lowest house edge at the same time that other best have extremely high house edges and are therefore amongst the very worst bets you can make in a casino. The table below shows you which bets to put money on and which you should only go for if you are really feeling extremely lucky!
