It is clear from the above table that 7 is the maximum rolled
combination in craps giving the highest probability, and other
numbers that have a high probability are those that are close to 7.
Are you wondering why we need to know the probability of all the
combinations? Well, this is what tells you that 2 has a far lesser
chance of being rolled than a number like 7, 6 or 8.
There are many odds on the craps table that offer big odds to the
players for rolling the numbers with less probability like the 2,
like the proposition bets. But the problem with these bets is the
house edge, which is quite large. On the face of it, it looks as if
a lot of money can be won with the bigger odds, but once you
understand these probabilities, your thinking is sure to change.
Understanding the game of craps ensures players don’t waste time and
money experimenting. This table gives a clear picture of the
probability of all combinations.
