Here’s a very basic (and kind of boring) craps basic strategy. While this won’t likely get you all excited while playing you just might walk away a winner! We are going to lay the 4 and 10 while playing a don’t pass or dark side strategy. Try this the next time you go to the casino if you’re just starting out, learning the game of craps.
*If You Play Craps, You Will Lose!*
- Some casinos only charge a vig on winning wagers and that drops the edge considerably, particularly on the outside numbers (4/10). As with place bets, buy bets are automatically off during a come-out, and you can take them down at any time. Lay bets (sometimes called no bets) are the mirror opposite of buy bets. They pay true odds.
- A buy bet on any number has a house edge of 4.76%. Place bets on 4 & 10 has a house edge of 6.67%; 5 & 9 - 4.0%, and 6 & 8 - 1.53%. Even buying a 4 or 10 is still a high house edge bet that should be avoided.
- LAY BETS HOUSE EDGE. The best deal on lay bets is on 4 or 10, where the commission represents the smallest proportion of your bet. Let’s start with casinos where you must pay the commission on all lay bets, win or lose. If you lay 4 or 10, the house edge is 2.44 percent. In the long run, per $100 wagered, you would average $2.44 in losses.

Laying the (4) or the (10) is a relatively popular bet for those playing the dark (don’t) side of craps. It’s easy, simple and puts you on the casino side of the odds at the table.
Craps Strategy Lay 4 And 100
It’s widely used by experienced players deploying a number of different positive and negative progressions and is also a great way for the novice craps player to get introduced to the ‘don’t’ side of betting.
In effect, you are betting that a (7) will roll before the (4) or (10) you lay (bet) your money on.
There are a number of reasons Laying the (4) or (10) is a popular way to play the dark side.
- There are 6 ways to roll a (7) and only 3 ways to roll a (4) or a (10)
- The odds are in your favor as you’re betting with the casino and not against
- Laying either the (4) or (10) has a lower ‘House Edge’ than laying the other numbers
- House Edge (4) & (10) is 2.44%, (5) & (9) is 3.23%, and the (6) & (8) is 4.00%
- You can ‘buy’ the number so you can get paid out at ‘true odds.
- You can make the bet, or take it down, at anytime you want (it’s not a contract bet)
(Secrets Tip #1) How do you know this is one of the better bets on the table? There is no wording on the table that promotes this bet or even let’s you know it’s available.
EASY TO EXECUTE
Just put $20 on the table and tell the dealer to “Lay the (4)” or the (10), whichever you decide to bet against.
- Let the dealer know you want to ‘buy’ the number. He/she will put a small disc on your bet that says ‘Buy’.
- For a $20 bet, it will cost you $1 to buy the number to get paid out at full odds. Most casinos don’t charge the vig on this unless you win, where they’ll take it out of your winnings. There are some that take the vig up front and you’re charged win or lose.
Now, if the (7) rolls before the (4) or (10) that you selected, the dealer will pay you $19 in winnings. ($20 in true odds (1 to 2), minus the $1 vig).
(Secrets Tip #2) When laying the (4) or (10), you can hedge your bet by placing a $2 Hardway bet on the number. Paying 9 to 1, you will have effectively eliminated one of the three ways your bet could lose.
The ‘Lay the (4) or (10) Betting Strategy works great on cold and choppy tables, but keep in mind, no betting strategy will change the house edge on the bet.
VARIATIONS
As simple and effective as this bet is, there are many ways to play this at the tables. Below are just a handful and you can create the version that works best for you.
- Use ‘flat bets’ and keep the bet size the same after a win or a loss
- Use a positive progression betting system where you increase the size of your bets after each win
- Use a negative progression betting system and increase the size of your bet after each loss.
- Lay the (4) or (10) on the come-out roll when most are ‘trying’ to roll a (7)
- Lay the bet immediately after the (4) or (10) rolls with the hope that it won’t repeat before the (7)
- Wait for 3 rolls of the dice before laying your bet, expecting that a (7) will show in the next few rolls
- Some even lay both the (4) and the (10), although that’s not recommended with this strategy
Like most other betting strategies, the ‘Lay the (4) or (10) Strategy’ has it’s own disadvantages.
- It does not work well on warm or hot tables
- Being that it pays at 1 to 2 odds, you’ll collect $10 on a $20 bet, but you’ll give up $20 on a loss – It will take you 2 wins to make up 1 loss
