A zero house edge bet placed behind a Pass/Come or Don't Pass/Don't Come bet.
The Odds bet is the only bet in the casino with zero house edge. It's placed behind your Pass Line or Come bet after a point is established, and it pays at true odds (2:1 on 4/10, 3:2 on 5/9, 6:5 on 6/8).
Casinos limit the size of Odds bets (typically 3x-5x your line bet, sometimes 10x or 100x). The more you can put behind the line in Odds, the lower the combined house edge on your total action.
At 3x-4x-5x Odds (a common structure), the combined house edge on Pass Line + Odds drops to about 0.37%. At 100x Odds (rare but offered at some casinos), it's about 0.02% — practically free.
You have $25 on the pass line at a Cosmopolitan craps table offering 3x-4x-5x odds. The shooter establishes a point of 6. You push $125 behind your pass line bet as a free odds wager, paid at true 6:5 odds.
Odds bets carry zero house edge — the only casino wager priced at exactly true odds. If the 6 rolls before the 7, your $25 pass line pays $25 and your $125 odds bet pays $150, for a combined $175 win. Max-odds bettors drag the blended house edge on their entire action below 0.4%, compared to 1.41% on the naked pass line. Always play max odds before placing numbers, hardways, or props — the odds bet is mathematically the single best wager on a casino floor.
