Yo - 11 Craps Gif
- To double up on the 11, for example, the bet is “horn, high yo.” “Yo” is used rather than 11, because 11 sounds too much like “seven,” and craps players are superstitious like that. With a “horn, high yo,” $1 is put in 2, 3 and 12, and $2 goes on 11. A “horn, high 12” bet puts the $2 on 12 and $1 on the other numbers.
- May 14, 2017 This wager combines the craps bet (2, 3, 12) with Yo (11). C & E is another wager that offers split payouts based on what number combinations turn up. You get a 3:1 payout when a 2, 3, or 12 are rolled, and a 7:1 payout for an 11. Some beginners are fooled into thinking they have a good chance to win with this wager thanks to the four winning.
This craps payout chart is also a great tool if you are just starting to learn the craps strategy. That way you can see all of the odds displayed in one table and you'll be able to decide which bets are better than others. You can see why the free odds bet is such a great one and why some of the proposition bets are terrible. My advice is to study this information or at least glance at it to find good strategies.

As you can see from the payout table, there are many bets that sound exotic and arcane but they really aren't that good, even though they may sound like the 'secret' bets that no one knows about. Really the only good ones are the pass line or don't pass in conjunction with the free odds bets. There are a few other decent ones as well. The trick to know is that when the house edge is a very low percentage, then the bet is a good one.
Also remember the fact that the number 7 is rolled more often than any other number. The 2 and 12 (snake eyes and box cars) are rolled the least and have low probabilities of coming out. You can read about this in our odds and probabilities page if you would like to understand the concept behind this. For additional odds information, please view our craps probability odds page for information about true odds of rolling the dice and also visit our Vegas free odds page for information about odds payouts and house edge.

Related Articles:The Yo bet is just another name for betting on the craps shooter to roll an 11. The dice will always consist of a 5 and 6. The odds of rolling a yo are the same as rolling a 3 (ace deuce). Rolling an 11 is the second most infrequent number to come up but it has some big winnings and payouts if the player does happen to bet and win using this wager.
Yo - 11 Craps Gif
The odds of rolling a yo is actually 2 in 36 (17:1). Yet the house pays out odds of 15:1, which leaves a big house edge of 11.11%. This high edge is undesirable because the player loses more money and more frequently since the house takes a bigger cut of the profit over the long term. This is why the eleven bet is usually reserved for players who are 'feeling lucky' and can wager it as a proposition bet. The payouts are still nice in the short term at $15 for every $1 wagered.
I included a screenshot below that shows where the yo betting area is located on the craps table layout. It is part of the proposition box at the center of the table, which usually includes rolls that are hard to get along with high payouts (and high house edges). Note that when you bet on rolling a yo, you are betting on the very next roll being an 11 since this is a single roll wager. You will lose the bet if the shooter does not roll 11 on the very next roll.
