DE Hi-Lo Bet
A Hi-Lo in craps is a simple wager placed on one single roll of the dice. You are predicting that the shooter will roll either a 2 (Lo) or a 12 (Hi) on the next throw.
How the Hi-Lo Bet Works
This type of wager is quick and easy to understand. Once you place it, the outcome is decided on the very next roll.
- You win if the shooter rolls a 2 or a 12;
- You lose if any other number appears;
- The outcome is determined after one roll only, with no further action.
Payout and Odds
A Hi-Lo bet offers a big payout, but the chances of winning are very small. This is because only two specific dice results can make the stake win.
- Typical payout: 15:1, though this may change from casino to casino.
- Winning probability: Very low, as there is only one way to roll a 2 (1+1) and one way to roll a 12 (6+6) out of 36 total combinations.
- House edge: About 11.11%, one of the highest among craps proposition bets.
Is the Hi-Lo Bet Worth Playing?
The Hi-Lo bet is considered to be a high-risk, high-reward option. It can be fun and exciting, but it is not ideal for long sessions or careful bankroll management.
