Three-Way Craps

Craps

A one-roll proposition bet made in units of three, with one unit wagered on each of the craps numbers: 2, 3, and 12. The three-way craps bet pays 30:1 if 2 or 12 is rolled, and 15:1 if 3 is rolled (with the other two units lost). This bet provides coverage on all craps numbers and is commonly used as a hedge during the come-out roll. Like all proposition bets, it carries a high house edge. A “three-way seven” is a similar concept but betting on the three combinations that make seven.
