The best bet at the game of craps is the bet that follows a previous bet. For example, if you're on the "pass-line", and "point" has been established, then you can take what are called "odds" on that number. After you've put you chips behind the "pass-line", the casino will pay you the exact odds of that bet, without a house edge. That bet has to be made after the "pass-line" bet is established though, and the casino has a slight edge on that aspect of it.
