Ut98 Craps Classic — Dice Game Rules & Betting Guide
Craps Classic is one of the most exciting dice games in the casino world. At ut98, you'll find a complete guide in Bengali — covering the core rules, every bet from the Shooter to the Pass Line, and responsible gambling advice.
Craps Classic What it is and why it's popular
Among dice games, craps likely has the most varied and complex betting structure of them all.
Craps is a classic dice game that creates the loudest and most exciting atmosphere on the floor of American land-based casinos. Two dice are rolled together, and the combined total determines the outcome of the various bets in play. The game's appeal lies in its multiple simultaneous betting options — when the Shooter rolls, players with bets on different parts of the table can all win or lose at the same time.
Ut98 offers Craps Classic to its players. Getting a handle on how the game is structured takes a little time — the table has many types of bets. But once you properly understand the core rules — Pass Line, Come Bet, and Odds Bet — the rest of the game naturally falls into place. This page walks you through everything in Bengali, from those core bets all the way up to the more advanced options.
One unique feature of craps is that it offers a bet with absolutely zero House Edge — the Odds Bet. This is extremely rare in casino gaming. Of course, the Odds Bet cannot be placed on its own; it must be added on top of a Pass Line or Come Bet once the Point is set. But this feature is precisely what makes craps stand out for experienced players.

Of craps Two main phases
Every craps round is divided into two distinct phases — understanding this is the key to the entire game.
The Dual Role of 7 in Point Phase
Here's something worth noting — on the Come-Out Roll, a 7 wins for Pass Line (Natural), but during Point Phase, a 7 loses for Pass Line (Seven Out). This dual role can be confusing at first. Just remember: the effect of a 7 changes depending on the phase.
Of two dice Possible Numbers & Frequency
To understand craps, it helps to know how the possible outcomes of two dice are distributed.
Why does 7 come up the most?
Two dice produce 36 possible combinations in total. There are 6 ways to roll a 7 — (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1) — giving it a probability of 6/36, or roughly 16.7% on any given roll. That's the biggest risk Shooters face in the Point Phase, and it's also what makes the Don't Pass Line bet appealing.
Of craps Core Betting Options
A detailed look at the main bets available in Craps Classic at ut98.
Pass Line
The most basic and popular bet. Wins on 7 or 11 on the Come-Out Roll, loses on 2, 3, or 12. In the Point Phase, wins if the Point is rolled again, loses on 7.
Don't Pass Line
The opposite of Pass Line. Wins on 2 or 3 on the Come-Out Roll, loses on 7 or 11. A 12 results in a Push (draw). Wins on 7 during the Point Phase.
Come Bet
Works the same as the Pass Line, but can be placed on any roll during Point Phase. Whichever roll you place the Come Bet on becomes that bet's "Come-Out Roll."
Don't Come Bet
The opposite of a Come Bet. Can be placed during Point Phase and works like the Don't Pass Line.
Odds Bet
The only casino bet with zero House Edge. Placed as an additional bet on top of a Pass Line or Come Bet. Pays out at the true odds of the Point number.
Place Bet
A direct bet on a specific number — 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 — coming up before a 7 is rolled.
Field Bet
A single-roll bet — wins on 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12; loses on 5, 6, 7, or 8. Results are instant.
Proposition Bet
A single-roll bet on a specific number or combination. High payout, but the highest House Edge on the table.
Odds Bet — A rare bet with zero House Edge
The Odds Bet is a remarkable exception in casino gaming — and it's exactly what sets craps apart from every other game.
Almost every casino game carries a House Edge — meaning players lose a small amount on average over time. But the Odds Bet has no edge at all. The casino pays out at true mathematical odds, with no added commission.
The Odds Bet cannot be placed independently at any table. It must be placed after a Pass Line or Come Bet, once the Point has been established. The maximum Odds Bet is typically 2x, 3x, or 5x your original bet — this varies by casino.
Odds Bet payout by Point
| Point Number | Odds Bet payout (Pass) | Odds Bet payout (Don't Pass) |
|---|---|---|
| 4 or 10 | 2:1 | 1:2 |
| 5 or 9 | 3:2 | 2:3 |
| 6 or 8 | 6:5 | 5:6 |
How does an Odds Bet reduce the overall Edge?
Say you have a 100 BDT Pass Line Bet and a Point has been established. If you place 3x Odds (a 300 BDT Odds Bet), your total wager is 400 BDT. However, the 1.41% Pass Line Edge only applies to the original 100 BDT — there is no Edge on the 300 BDT Odds Bet.
- Odds Bet pays out at true mathematical odds
- Maximum Odds limits apply per table rules
- Odds can be placed alongside both Pass Line and Come Bets
- "Laying Odds" can be placed on Don't Pass / Don't Come
- Odds Bet can be taken down at any time
Place Bet and Other Popular Bets
Beyond Pass Line and Odds Bets, there are plenty of other betting options — knowing them will make you feel a lot more comfortable at the table.
Place Bet details
With a Place Bet, you can bet directly on any of the numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 — no need to wait for a Point to be established. You can place it at any time during the Point Phase.
| Place Bet Numbers | Payout | House Edge |
|---|---|---|
| 4 or 10 | 9:5 | ~6.7% |
| 5 or 9 | 7:5 | ~4.0% |
| 6 or 8 | 7:6 | ~1.5% |
Place Bets on 6 & 8
Place 6 and Place 8 are the most popular Place Bets at the craps table, with a House Edge of just ~1.5% — close to that of the Pass Line. Placing both 6 and 8 at the same time is a well-known strategy.
Single-Roll Bets (Proposition Bets)
Proposition Bets are settled within a single roll. They sit in the center of the table and carry the highest House Edge. They're fine occasionally for entertainment, but placing them regularly puts you at greater risk of long-term losses.
| Proposition Bet | Condition | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| Any Seven | 7 on the next roll | 4:1 |
| Any Craps | 2, 3 or 12 | 7:1 |
| Yo (11) | Next roll is 11 | 15:1 |
| Boxcars (12) | 12 on the Next Roll | 30:1 |
| Snake Eyes (2) | Next roll is 2 | 30:1 |
| Horn Bet | 2, 3, 11 or 12 | Varies by variant |
In Craps Which Bet Should You Choose?
Not all bets carry the same House Edge — making informed choices is what makes a difference in the long run.
Low House Edge Bets
- Pass Line (~1.41%) — the best place to start
- Don't Pass Line (~1.36%) — an alternative to the Pass Line
- Come Bet (~1.41%) — Same as Pass Line
- Odds Bet (0%) — the most valuable bet; maximize it whenever you can
- Place 6 or 8 (~1.52%) — Best Place Bet
Higher House Edge Bets
- Place 4 or 10 (~6.7%) — relatively high
- Field Bet (~5.6%) — quick results, higher Edge
- Any Seven (~16.7%) — Highest House Edge
- Hardways (~9–11%) — High Payout, High Edge
- Proposition Bets Overview (~9–13%+)
Tips for Beginners
Start with the Pass Line
If you're new, start with just the Pass Line bet. The rules are simple, the House Edge is low, and you'll quickly get a feel for how the game flows.
Maximize Your Odds Bet
The more you wager on Odds Bets, the lower your overall House Edge becomes. Always make full use of the maximum Odds allowed on the platform.
Avoid Proposition Bets
While high payouts may look tempting, Proposition Bets carry the highest House Edge on the table. Placing them regularly can drain your budget fast.
Split your budget
Divide your total session budget into smaller units. When one unit is gone, move on to the next — there's no need to rush.
Check the table first
Before playing at ut98 or any other platform, watch a few rounds first. Once you get a feel for the rhythm of the game, then start placing bets.
Read the rules
Odds limits, minimum and maximum bets, and settlement rules can vary by platform. Read the rules before you play.
Come Bet & Don't Come Bet — New Bets in the Point Phase
The Come Bet can seem complicated to many players — but it's actually a straightforward concept.
Once Point Phase begins, you have the option to place a Come Bet. Whichever roll you place it on acts as that bet's "Come-Out Roll" — it's like starting a brand-new mini game within the round.
Say the main Point is 6. You place a Come Bet. The next roll comes up 9 — so 9 becomes your Come Bet's "Come Point". Your Come Bet now wins if 9 rolls again before a 7. At the same time, your Pass Line Bet is still waiting on 6.
This way you can have multiple Come Bets active at once, each live on a different number. You can also place Odds Bets alongside each Come Bet.
Come-Out Roll — Setting the Point
The Come-Out Roll for the main Pass Line bet takes place. Say 6 becomes the Point.
Place a Come Bet
Once the Point Phase begins, place your bet in the Come Area.
Come Point Established
A 9 rolled next — 9 is now your Come Point.
Place Come Odds
You can place an Odds Bet on top of your Come Point.
Result
If a 9 rolls before a 7, both the Come Bet and Odds Bet win. If a 7 rolls, both lose (and for the Pass Line, a 7 also means Seven Out).
Hardways Bet — Matching the dice pair
Hardways is a special type of bet found at the center of the craps table, and it tends to attract a lot of players.
A Hardways bet requires the target number to come up as two equal dice — not the Easy Way (e.g., 5+3=8). For example, Hard 8 means exactly 4+4=8, not any other combination. A Hardways bet loses if a 7 rolls or if the number hits the Easy Way.
| Hardways | Condition | Payout | House Edge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hard 4 | Requires 2+2 | 7:1 | ~11.1% |
| Hard 6 | Must roll 3+3 | 9:1 | ~9.1% |
| Hard 8 | Must roll 4+4 | 9:1 | ~9.1% |
| Hard 10 | Must roll 5+5 | 7:1 | ~11.1% |
Is placing Hardways a good idea?
Hardways payouts may look attractive, but the House Edge puts them among the highest on the craps table. That said, many players occasionally place small Hardways bets just for the thrill.
- If that number rolls the Easy Way, Hardways loses
- A 7 wipes out all Hardways bets
- Hardways stay active until they lose
- House Edge is significantly higher than Pass Line

Responsible Craps Play
Craps Classic is a fast-paced game where results come roll after roll in quick succession — and that speed can lead to overbetting. Avoid getting drawn in by the high payouts on Proposition Bets and placing them repeatedly. Set a budget and a time limit before each session. Chasing losses with larger bets typically leads to even greater losses.
