Good bet

Pays
1 to 2, 5% vig on the win
House edge
1.67%

A bet that a 7 rolls before the 4.

You bet against the 4, so you risk more than you win: it pays 1:2. The casino takes 5% of your win as the vig, rounded down to whole dollars with a $1 minimum. It is always working, including on the come-out.

House edge is the average share of each bet the casino keeps. Standard Vegas rules, shown at a typical bet size.

Place a Lay 4 bet in crappy and see its expected value before you roll.
