Odds for Each Number. By looking at the possible combinations, the 'true odds' for each number can be established. Knowing the odds in craps is good so you have a feel for the likelihood of one number being rolled before another one (e.g., is the 4 going to be rolled before the 7?). Wins if a 7 is rolled and loses if any other number is rolled. Wins is a 2, 3 or 12 is rolled and loses on any other number. Two Craps or Aces. Also known as Snake Eyes. Wins if a 2 is rolled and pays 30 to 1. Twelve Craps or Two Sixes. Wins if a 12 is rolled and loses on all other numbers.
