As you can notice a 7 is the luckiest number since it is rolled more often than the others and almost all the craps odds rules apply to this number. However, it can be both lucky or unlucky. Most bets are winners when the number you wager on occurs first than a 7 or vice versa. According to table the hardway bets are the least lucky as the winning probabilities are quite low - 1 in 36. And in conclusion, we suggest you to place Come and Pass bets which has the highest craps odds. Six and eight bets are also safe as they have the next highest probabilities.
