Ace Deuce Craps

If you head to the crap table you will hear the dealers making all kinds of different calls, and if you are not familiar with the lingo you could get lost at the table before the dice are even rolled. Luckily we have put together this little list so you are ready to go as soon as you hit the table.

'craps,' 'ace-deuce,' 'ace caught a deuce,' 'winner on the darkside,' 'small ace deuce, can't produce,' 'the other side of eleven's tummy,' 'cross eyes,' 'easy craps,' 'Australian 40,' 'acey-deucy Ricky and Lucy,' '2 on 1 is A little more fun,' 'Lil' Mary lookin' scary'. 11 - Yo Bet in Craps. The Yo bet is just another name for betting on the craps shooter to roll an 11. The dice will always consist of a 5 and 6. The odds of rolling a yo are the same as rolling a 3 (ace deuce). Rolling an 11 is the second most infrequent number to come up but it has some big winnings and payouts if the player does happen to bet and win using this wager.

The Ace-Deuce bet is a one-roll wager on the three-craps. The payoff is 15 – 1, but the true odds are 17 – 1. The house edge is a whopping 11.1%. The Eleven or “Yo” is a one-roll wager on the eleven. When bet alone, the wager is placed in the “E” circle adjacent to the prop box. Below are some common phrases used around the Craps table; Ace Deuce – Throwing a 3 (1-2 or 2-1) Base Dealer – The dealer at either end of the table who manages the bets on their respective layouts. Boxcars or Midnight – Throwing 12 (6-6) Boxman – Main dealer who supervises the game Coming Out – The first roll of a Shooter.
