At a crap table, if the minimum bet is $25, am I allowed to split my bet? Like, can I place $10 on the pass/come line and $15 on the don’t pass/come?
This is a fairly common question heard in the crap pit -- and a misconception about table limits, especially at games with multiple bets, like craps or roulette.
If the minimum bet on the crap table is $25, that means $25 per bet, at least on the main game. If you want to play both the pass and don’t pass lines, it will cost you $50. The minimum will be the same for all the place bets, come bets, lay bets, etc.
The proposition bets, everything in the center of the table, have lower minimums, typically $5 on a $25 game. On a $10 or $15 game, the props will typically cost just $1 each.
The way to remember which bets cost more is as follows. Everything in front of the stickman in the center of the table is considered a prop bet and has a lower minimum. Everything in front of the base dealers (on either side of the table) must meet the posted minimum requirement.
