- ANY CRAPS BET:
- ==============
- Like the hardway bets, this bet should be avoided at all times.
- The casino payoffs are lower than the true odds of winning on
- this bet, which results in a large advantage for the casino.
-
- The ANY CRAPS bet is a single bet covering the 2, 3, and 12
- together. It's a ONE-ROLL bet, which means if a 2, 3, or 12 does
- not occur on the very next roll of the dice, you lose. If a 2,
- 3, or 12 occurs on the next roll, you are paid a nice return of
- 7-to-1.
-
- Because this is a one-roll bet, the odds are much higher and so
- are the payoffs for winning. As you will see in a moment, the
- casino's advantage over you is also much higher than other bets
- that can be made at the craps table.
-
- For both the 2 and 12, there is only one combination of the dice
- that can rolled to equal them. A 3 can be rolled two ways: 1+2
- and 2+1, which means the true odds of rolling a 2, 3, or 12 on
- the very next roll is 8-to-1. (4 rolls out of 36 combinations)
-
- However, you should note that most casinos only pay 8-for-1
- (7-to-1) for these bets. When this is the case, the casino's
- advantage is a horrendous 11.1%. This is one of the worst bets
- on the craps table. Players who routinely make these bets will
- get "taken to the cleaners".

- WHERE TO PLACE THE BET:
- =======================
- In the center of the table there is a special section for this
- one-roll bet. It's located at the bottom of the center bet area
- and is identified by the word "ANY CRAPS" printed in large red
- letters. Printed just underneath the word "ANY CRAPS" is the
- casino payoff for the bet. Please see the example above.
-
- To make a bet in the casino, place your chips in front of you on
- the table and call out your bet to the dealer. Example: "$10 on
- any craps". Make sure you place the chips far enough out in
- front of you so the dealer can reach them. Be sure the dealer
- hears you and sees your chips on the table before the shooter
- rolls the dice.
-
- To make a bet for this computer game, use your mouse and click
