As you can see from the table, the 7 is the combination that is rolled the most in Craps. You will also notice that the numbers that are closest to 7 have a better probability than the ones that don’t.

So why does knowing the probability of each dice combination matter? Well the simple answer to that question is to reinforce that it is much less likely for a 2 to be rolled than something like an 8. There are some bets on the table that offer big odds for rolling a combination like the 2. These bets (like the proposition bets) have a large house edge even though it seems like you can win a lot of money. If you can understand these probabilities and relate it to the odds that are given then you can engrain it into your brain to not make these bets.

The more you can understand in the game of Craps the better because in most cases it will save you a lot of money over time. So even if you just have a quick look at the following graph with Craps dice combinations, you should be able to gather some perspective on the probability concept.
