Casinoin Casino is a part of the Reinvent Ltd of online casinos. Hard Eight Dice (commonly known as craps), is a game often played for money where the player (referred to as the shooter) rolls 2 dice hoping to roll a winning combination. The number 8 can be obtained 3 ways. The 'easy way' by rolling a 6 and 2 or a 3 and 5, or the ' hard way ' by rolling a 4 and 4.
Again, when it comes to playing online craps, the numbers you roll are out of your control and can only be determined by luck, but understanding the odds of rolling the numbers can help you make the right play and teach you which bets are the best ones to choose based on the odds. Here are the odds for all the possible numbers that can be rolled in craps:
Starting with the hardest numbers to roll, 2 and 12 can only come up based on 1 possible dice combination each: 1+1 and 6+6 respectively. That means the craps odds of rolling either of these number are 1:36. In craps the harder it is to roll the number, the higher it pays out. After 6 and 12 comes the 3 and the 11, which can be made from two different dice combinations respectively and offer odds of 1:18. 4 and 10 can be made of 3 separate dice combinations each and offer odds of 1:12 respectively.
There are four possible combos for rolling 5 and 9 and the odds for either are 1:9. The 6 and 8 can be made in 5 difference ways using a set of dice and present the player with 1:7 odds. Finally comes the 7, which can be rolled 6 different ways using a pair of dice and it has odds of 1:6 making it the most common number to come up in online craps.
