Any Seven

Any Seven is a one-roll bet that the next throw is a 7, paying 4:1. It is the most likely single prop to win, and it is also the worst bet on the entire table. The 4:1 payout sits far below the true 5:1 odds, giving the house a 16.67% edge. Dealers often discourage players from even calling it.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Any Seven the worst bet in craps?

A 7 rolls six ways out of 36, true odds of 5:1, but the bet pays only 4:1. That gap gives the house a 16.67% edge, the highest of any standard craps bet.

How often does Any Seven win?

About once every six rolls, more often than any other prop. But winning frequently does not make it good, because the payout is set well below the true odds every time.

What is Big Red?

Dealer slang for the Any Seven bet. Some players avoid saying 'seven' out loud at the table for superstition, so they call the bet Big Red instead.
