Molly: 3-Point Molly, a craps strategy

How Molly plays

On the come-out, Molly bets the Pass Line.

Once a point is set, she takes the most Odds she can behind it, then makes Come bets, one at a time, until she has two of them on numbers. Each Come bet gets max Odds as soon as it moves to its number. That’s three numbers working, which is where the name comes from.

Why people like it

It’s the classic way to get more action without paying more edge. Every flat bet is a Pass or Come bet at 1.41%, and all the Odds behind them are at no edge at all. Most of her money is in the fairest bets on the table.

The catch

Three numbers with full Odds is a lot of money on the felt. A 7 right after she’s built them up takes all three at once.

The bets

Every bet Molly makes and its house edge
Bet	House edge
Pass Line	1.41%
Pass Odds	None
Come	1.41%
Come Odds	None

The share of each bet the house keeps over the long run. Odds bets pay true odds, so they have none. How house edge works.

A sample hand

One shooter's hand at a $10 table with 3-4-5 odds. Every regular plays the same dice, so you can compare them. These are the bets Molly really makes: the table's own bot and payout rules played it. Play money.

The honest part

Every bet Molly makes has a house edge of 1.41%, apart from the Odds, which have none. A good week is luck. Over enough rolls, no strategy beats that edge: the cheaper ones just lose more slowly.
