What the world needs is ...This is a discussion thread · 6 replies Mr. V: ... a new craps bet on the table layout.OK, I'll invent one: "Odd or Even." A one roll bet, with the payout determined by the odds, skewed slightly in the house's favor like place bets. You can bet odd or even in roulette, why not in craps? Odd: wins if the number rolled is odd, i.e. three, five, seven, nine or eleven. Even: you get the idea.

Bar-3/11 is taking too much (though that has not stopped the casinos in the past).

No room on the table for a Baccarat type thing.

SteveF: "Mr. V" posits the following:[nq:1]... a new craps bet on the table layout. OK, I'll invent one: "Odd or Even." A one roll bet, ... slightly in the house's favor like place bets. You can bet odd or even in roulette, why not in craps?[/nq] OK, here's my version, called "No Craps Odd or Even": If Craps are thrown (2, 3, or 12) you get half your money back; otherwise it's an even-money single-roll bet on odd or even. House vig is 5.56%, however if they don't want to offer half your money back on a Craps then the house take is 11.11%, which is the same as "any craps", so it seems like the perfect new bet for the casinos. The only problem I see is the expense of changing all the felts (I would place this bet near the Field, as it is also a one-roll bet) and training the dealers (the hardest part is to teach them the difference between odd and even.)

John B: You can bet odd or even in roulette, why not in craps?== Why mess with one of the oldest, one of the most traditional, and in my opinion, one of the best games in the casino? It already offers the most diversified betting options of any game around..if it ain't broke, don't fix it!  JB
