Prop Bet Analyzer: True Odds vs. Casino Payouts
Jake WilfredProp bets are where the stickman earns their paycheck. These are the flashy, high-payout wagers in the center of the craps layout. They’re also where the casino makes the most profit per dollar wagered.
The Prop Bet Analyzer puts every proposition bet under a microscope.
- Proposition bets carry the highest house edges on the craps table (9% to 16%+)
- The analyzer shows true odds vs. actual payouts for every prop bet
- Hardways, horn, hop, whirl, and one-roll bets are all covered
- Understanding these bets helps you make informed decisions about when (or if) to play them
What the Analyzer Covers
Hardways (Hard 4, 6, 8, 10). Horn bets. Hop bets. Whirl/World. Yo-Eleven. Any Craps. Any Seven. C&E. Snake Eyes. Boxcars. Hi-Lo.
For each one, you get: true probability, true odds, casino payout, house edge percentage, and expected cost per dollar wagered.
The Gap Between True Odds and Payouts
This is where prop bets get expensive. A Yo-Eleven has true odds of 17:1. Most casinos pay 15:1. That 2-unit gap creates an 11.11% house edge per bet. The analyzer visualizes these gaps so you can see exactly how much you’re overpaying.
Compare that to the best bets on the table and the difference is staggering.
Prop bets are entertainment, not strategy. If you enjoy them, budget a small, separate amount for props and treat it as the cost of fun. Never build a craps strategy around proposition bets.
