When you wager on the “Don’t Pass” or “Don’t Come” bet, you’re betting against the shooter. Because most people make the “Pass Line” and “Come” bets, you’re also betting against most players at the table. Because you’re betting against the table, it’s considered rude to celebrate if you make such a wager and win.
Craps has a lot of sucker bets – wagers with a house edge in the 10% to 15% range. You might wonder why players make such bets. Often, it’s because they don’t know it’s a sucker bet. Sometimes, though, these players get a thrill from betting on an outcome which offers a chance for bigger payouts.
