Pays slightly less than true odds (the house keeps a "built-in" profit). Buy Bet: Pays true mathematical odds .

Because you’re paying a 5% commission, the Buy Bet isn't always the best move. It depends entirely on which number you are betting on: Buy Bet Payout 2:1 (minus vig)

Some player-friendly casinos only charge the vig if the bet actually wins. This is the "gold standard" for craps players, as it drastically lowers the house edge.

A Buy Bet is a wager that a specific point number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) will be rolled before a 7. In terms of mechanics, it is identical to a Place Bet, but the payout structure changes:

The house edge drops significantly compared to Placing. 5 or 9 3:2 (minus vig) Rarely worth it. The commission often eats the benefit. 6 or 8 6:5 (minus vig) Never Buy. The Place Bet is much better for these numbers. Pro Tip: The "$20 Rule"
