Field Bet ' This bet is only on the second roll of the dice. Even money is paid if a 3, 4, 9, 10 or 11 is rolled. Double is paid on a 2 and triple on a 12. At a 2.77% house edge, this is still a very player friendly bet.
Come Bet ' This is like the Pass Line Bet, but it may be played at any time.
Place Bets ' These are longer odds bets that also may be played at any time. These are placed on single numbers.
Buy Bets ' These are the same bets as Place Bets, but with different payoffs.
Proposition Bets ' These bets are placed on single rolls of the dice and may be placed at any time.
Free Odds on the Pass Line ' This is the second bet that beginning players should be familiar with, right after the Pass Line Bet. This one has a no house edge which is why they are called Free Odds. The payout percentage on Free Odds varies from casino to casino, so shop for one that offers really good payouts.
Free Odds on Come Bets ' These work like Free Odds on the Pass Line and have the same payouts, varying by casino.
Don't Pass Line Bet ' This is the flip-side of the Pass Line bet. If the initial roll is a 7 or 11, the player loses. In brick-and-mortar casinos more people bet Pass than bet Don't Pass, so the Don't Pass betters are vilified. The house edge in the Don't Pass Bet is 1.36%.
