Jun 16, 2017 - Craps table at Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort in Cherokee, North Carolina - © 2015 David Oppenheimer - Performance Impressions Photography Archives. The Any Seven bet has to be the simplest bet type one can place at the craps table but is less popular among players for a number of reasons. It is considered a higher-risk wager because it is a single-roll bet. What's more, the casino's built-in advantage for Any Seven bets is quite substantial, especially when compared to less hazardous basic bets the likes of Pass/Don't Pass and Come/Don't. Your own little Casino. After having searched the internet I think you'll find out and agree with all my customers that Big Jeff's prices are the lowest in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD for a one of a kind hand crafted custom made in the USA gaming table.

Forgive me box man, for I have sinned. It's been over 5 weeks since my last craps session at the casino. 😉
I only get such a small window of opportunity and when work and family get in the way then my hobby takes a back seat. I must admit I'm missing it.
I haven't been idle though. I built a better practice rig including some rubber diamonds for the back wall and with a small add on piece, it can take a proper 8ft single dealer layout. I will add some pics of it soon.
This was very much needed to finally graduate from my cardboard box receiving station which I've been using for over a year.
I was going to build a full table with the help from Big Jeff who builds custom craps tables in the USA. He does make truly beautiful craps tables. He sent me 4 diamond rubber back pieces, and some routed chip rails to get me started.
Unfortunately even though I'm capable of the task. I don't have…
A) space to build
B) the tools needed
C) a trailer or Ute or truck to get the materials back to my place
D) the time
So that left me with no choice but to order a cheap custom table from overseas (China) and get it shipped to me in Australia. That was 3 months ago and I still don't have the table. That's a whole topic for another day, which I won't go into today.
My new practice receiving station which is 1.2m wide sits on a portable table and I still use my throwing station to get the right distance away from the back wall. I can then practice stick left or right or straight out.
The best part of the design is that I can add an extension onto it and use it as a half table with 8ft layout and use it with others to play some craps socially.
I have yet to introduce my friends to craps and was waiting for the full table to do so. However I could wait no more. We have a standing calendar booking for a Halloween Party each year where we invite neighbours and family friends. So I took advantage of that, and I got the half table setup on the deck and after dinner and a couple of drinks I opened my first ever floating craps game.
See a few photos below.
I explained the game quickly and gave each player $300. It was total chaos, but after 10 mins they were getting the hang of it. I struggled to keep track of everyone's bets. And they were all farming the field and hitting the prop area. Of course just my luck as first time dealer and it was a horn dream run for 30 mins. So I was stumbling over horn and hardways payouts.
I explained the dark side being opposite of the right side. And the probability of 7s showing more than any other.
And you wouldn't believe it, but I had 2 out of 6 players playing dark side. I was humbled by that, and I never even pushed them one way or another. They just worked it out on their own.
I even let the players place their own place bets and I was just making sure the bets were correct amounts and put them in the right position in the boxes so I could track players bets correctly.
It was a huge success and everyone was calling out numbers to hit and having a great time. The other neighbours around must have wondered what was going on.
Initially I didn't bother getting out the $100 and $500 chips since I just figured everyone would crash and burn and that would be that.
But they were all doing great. And I had to break out the $100 and $500 chip stacks to keep the bank afloat.
The game would have kept going for hours. But after 1 1/2 hours I had to call it, since I needed a break.
I got them to colour up and was pleasantly surprised that 5 out of 6 had profit. Some had a lot. One had $25 left. He was not happy. The winner was around $1200 with second $1100. So it was a close race.
The winner was one of the dark side players. Which I was the most proud of. Who was also the only one really betting the place bets and using it like a cash register.
One thing I noticed being a dealer is not easy by a long shot. Especially a green solo dealer with no backup.
I can't wait to get my full table. Then we'll really get some social craps play happening.
This little gathering and the way they approached the table for the first time, and how each set their game plan, once they knew the basic rules, could easily make for a study in human behaviour. Being that I knew the players, watching them interact with each other and play gave me great insight into how parallel their play was with their personalities. I don't see that sort of thing happening with other games at the casino. Just underlines what a great game craps is.

The soaring house edge attached to Any Seven bets can be attributed to the fact seven is the number where most combinations and permutations are possible, making it more likely to get rolled. Nevertheless, some more experienced craps players choose to strategically incorporate the Any Sevens into their bet pattern.
Read on for more detailed information of the Any Seven bet and its odds.
The Any Seven Bet Explained
Any Seven is among the most known bet types in the game of craps. The wager is often announced at the table by its nickname, 'The Big Red'.
Any Seven is a one-roll bet and is placed not by players themselves, but by the stickman. The area where the chips for this bet are stacked is located at the center of the table's layout. As the name of the wager itself suggests, players are betting that the very next throw of the dice will result in the number 7 being rolled. No come-out rolls are required when placing Any Seven bets. The latter can be placed at all times.

Nevertheless, some more experienced craps players choose to strategically incorporate the Any Sevens into their bet pattern.
Read on for more detailed information of the Any Seven bet and its odds.
The Any Seven Bet Explained
Any Seven is among the most known bet types in the game of craps. The wager is often announced at the table by its nickname, 'The Big Red'.
Any Seven is a one-roll bet and is placed not by players themselves, but by the stickman. The area where the chips for this bet are stacked is located at the center of the table's layout. As the name of the wager itself suggests, players are betting that the very next throw of the dice will result in the number 7 being rolled. No come-out rolls are required when placing Any Seven bets. The latter can be placed at all times.
In other words, the next throw of the dice determines whether players win or lose. It matters not which of the possible combinations adds up to seven, either way, your Any Seven bet will win. However, if any other number apart from seven is rolled, your Any Seven bet will respectively lose.
That's basically all there is to it, however, players are advised to steer clear of Any Seven bets as they have a massive built-in casino advantage to them and might cause bettors to lose money very quickly. More on this in the next section.
Odds for the Any Seven Bet
As was already mentioned, Any Seven bets have a high house edge that works to players' disadvantage, even if they are winning.
Let's proceed by explaining why this is so.
As becomes apparent by the dice combinations chart, seven has the highest number of possible combinations that add up to its total. Since the game of craps is played with two dice, there are six combinations to add up to seven, respectively 1-6, 6-1, 2-5, 2-5, 3-4 and 4-3. There are 36 possible combinations for the numbers from 2 to 12. This indicates the chances of rolling the number seven are 6 out of 36. There are 6 possible ways to win versus 30 different ways to lose. Indeed, the number 7 tends to get rolled most frequently.
From this, it follows the 'true' odds for Any Seven bets dictate these should be paid out at a rate of 5 to 1.
However, the payout for Any Seven bets is listed at the table layout as 5 for 1.
The wording here is of crucial importance as the use of the preposition 'for' indicates you will be paid $4 in exchange for a $1 bet instead of $5 per each $1 winning wager as the 'true' odds demand. So, it turns out players are actually paid 4 to 1 provided their Any Seven bets win. This will result in you actually losing money in the long run, even if you are winning as Any Seven bets go hand in hand with an impressive house edge amounting to about 16.67%!
This percentage translates into a $16.67 loss for every $100 you spend on Any Seven bets.
Conclusion
Seasoned craps players have come to the conclusion Any Seven is the least profitable bet one can place in this dice game. It boasts the highest built-in advantage for the casino and is to be avoided, especially by craps novices who still have not established a betting pattern that works to their advantage.
Since these are single-roll bets, they are largely considered more suitable for high-rollers who prefer to go for high-risk bets with better payouts. The only advantage of Any Seven bets stems from the fact wagers below the table's minimum are accepted. However, inexperienced players are recommended to stick to the basic bet types like the Pass/Don't Pass and the Come/Don't Come which have a smaller house edge but pay even money.
