Craps Team Six: You Hit the Small—What’s Your Profit?

Question:
Assume you put $5 on the Small, $5 on the Tall, and $5 on the All ($15 total action) on a 34-to-1 Small/Tall, 175-to-1 All table. The shooter hits the Small, but sevens out right after. What are your individual winnings on the Small bet versus your net profit across all three bets?

  • A) $170 Small winning / $160 net profit
  • B) $175 Small winning / $175 net profit
  • C) $170 Small winning / $170 net profit
  • D) $160 Small winning / $155 net profit

Correct Answer: A

Greg’s Breakdown:
Count that money right, people! At 34-to-1, your $5 bet on the Small pays 34 × $5 = $170 in individual winnings. But remember, you had $5 on the Tall and $5 on the All that just got scooped up by that red dog 7! Subtract that $10 loss from your $170 win, and your net profit across all three bets is dead-on $160. Still a sweet lick off a nickel bet—now cash that ticket or power press it up to a bag!
