Wrong side bet is fine in craps

QUESTION: In craps betting, I've noticed that it seems like the most consistent winners are the Don't side players laying odds. Not big money, but consistent wins. I'm currently a $5 pass line, odds, place 6 and 8 Come bettor. I'm seriously thinking of going to the Don't side. -- John G.
ANSWER: By all means, if you want to go to the Don't side, do it. There is nothing wrong with being a Wrong bettor.

As a Wrong bettor, you're wagering against the shooter and with the seven. All your bets become Don't pass and Don't come wagers. Yet, right or wrong, and nearly equally, Pass line and Don't pass bettors are making some of the best wagers the casino offers.

Although I appreciate your thoughts about switching, a Don't pass bet is mathematically only a slightly better wager than a Pass line bet, as the house edge is 1.4% versus 1.41%. Because the casino advantage between the two wagers is so minuscule, I've always advocated a Pass line bet, mostly because I enjoy the peer play, where bettors battle the casino together, win or lose.
