Crapless Craps House Edge
- Overall the house edge on the pass bet in crapless craps is 373/6930 = 5.382%. Compare that to that of conventional craps at 1.414%.
- The house edge can’t grind you down if you’re going for a nice stroll. I very much appreciate your support. We will always be here. The next video is a Crapless Craps video. I figured that I would tell you first. I’m not sure how people will respond to Crapless Craps, if not with some confusion.
First, a bit of housekeeping. We are in the process of redesigning the site to make it easier for our viewers and readers to access all of our past videos.
With the 11 out of the running, even with the risk of losing on a roll of 2, 3, or 12, the house edge on the Crapless Craps comeout is 5.38%, worse than roulette and much much worse that regular craps (1.4%). Single odds reduce the edge to 2.94%; you have take 5X odds to get it down to around 1%. With these additional frowzy rules, the house holds a 5.4% edge on your pass line bet versus the 1.4% edge in a typical craps game. Prudent readers of this column consider crapless craps as also playless craps. Dear Mark, When playing craps, I pretty much stick to your recommended pass line wager with odds, or placing the 6 and 8.
When I first started RoadGambler.com and it’s associated videos, my staff and I did not anticipate moving off of YouTube, so we did not design the site as the primary provider of the RoadGambler Real Craps game videos. The videos have become a huge attraction and generated large numbers of viewers, and they continue to attract large numbers on RoadGambler.com.
For now, most of our videos can be found under the video tab. In the future, they will be even easier to find.
SPOILER FOR PART 1, in case you have not seen part 1…
In part 1, RoadGambler started off well but then fell in the hole. RoadGambler ended the video down $120 on a $300 buy-in.
You might say that being down $120 on a $300 buy-in is not that bad, and you would be right. That is the rough equivalent of two full pass line odds.
Tomorrow, I will be talking about the odds bet, and discussing some of the downsides to the odds bet. Arguable, the odds bet is the best bet in the casino from a mathematical perspective, but there is a serious and grave downside to relying on the odds bet. That’s my hint for what lies in Part 2, without spoiling it, and my further hint for tomorrows article.
Enjoy Part 2.
Oh, RoadGambler is on the way to play…Crapless Craps. That will be available in a future installment.

There are many tricks in casino gaming, particularly rule variations of a certain casino game that are created to convince you, as a player, that the casino is giving you something for nothing.

What is Crapless Craps?

House Edge and Rules
It doesn’t really help to know how to play standard Craps, because Crapless Craps has rules of its own. According to the rules of the variant, the first dice roll can produce an instant winner if a 7 is rolled, but not if a total of 11 is rolled for pass line betters. The 11 becomes the pass line point. Since the game is crapless, if the first roll produces a total of 2, 3 or 12, there is no loss on the pass line. Instead, these totals become the pass line point. Furthermore, in Crapless Craps players can’t make a don’t pass line bet and don’t come bet, because there is no such thing.
The house edge of Crapless Craps is about 5.4%. Compared to the house advantage of standard Craps which is 1.4% on the pass bet, the house edge of the variant is a bit higher.
