As you might expect, betting options are an important (and fun) part of the game. And you can see from the Sic Bo table, there are many of them. The most basic thing you need to know is Small and Big bets.

  • Small bets are when you bet on the number of dice between (and including) 4 and 10.
  • Big bets are when the numbers are between (and include) 11 and 17.


They usually pay 1 to 1 and have the smallest house advantage. So this is the best chance you get in a Sic Bo game. But you may realize the numbers 3 and 18 are missing. That’s because when you bet Small or Big, the sum of three times (three dice with the same number, e.g. 1-1-1, 6-6-6) makes you lose.

Therefore, this bet is not exactly 50/50 but has a probability of 48.61 percent.

 

Don't want to bet on a particular dice number and its combination? You can always choose a certain amount and bet on it. These can be between (and include) 4 and 17.
