There is one thing common about all the casino games that are played either online of offline. The common thing about all these games is that the house edge is the same for all the games. When such uniformity is maintained, players who are ready for the long haul can expect to get the same amount of winnings for the bets or wagering that they do. So, irrespective of the type of bets the players choose they are aware that the house edges will continue to remain the same. However there is one exception to the above rule and it applies to craps. As far as craps is concerned there are quite a number of bets that could be played and many of them have different house edges. House edges with high bets are usually referred to as craps sucker bets and players are wary of these types of bets and they stay away from it. However while seasoned players may be aware of the perils of such craps sucker bets new players could easily walk into this trap and hence they should have a clear understanding of the betting rules as far as house edges related to crap games are concerned. The reason why new players are not able to understand the problems related to such craps sucker bets are because they are often hidden and packed with some fancy names.

It is therefore important to understand the various bets that form a part of craps games. The first and foremost thing that news players should understand is that there are around 32 ways to lose money compared to only four ways by which you can make money using the various bets. If one goes by the odds as far as this game is concerned an ideal betting odd would be 8 is to 1. If a player wins betting under this option, he or she is however paid only on the basis of 7 is to 1. This leads to a house edge of over 11% which is exactly what craps sucker bets is all about.

Apart from the above there are other different types of bets where craps sucker bets could lay hidden with high house edges. A few such bets are Any 7, Field Bet and so on. In each of these bets though the payout ratio should be different, the casinos end up paying lesser retaining high percentages as house edges about which new players should be careful.
