The whirl also known as the world bet in craps is the bet that is a combination of bets that includes the horn bet and the any seven bet in the game. The horn bet itself is a combination of different bets in which you are wagering on the shooter rolling a 2, 3, 11 or 12. Any of these numbers wins the horn bet. The other part of the whirl bet is the any 7 wager. All you need to do there is get a seven.
Any Craps: A bet that the next roll will be 2, 3, or 12; pays 7:1 Any Seven: A bet that the next roll will be 7; pays 4:1 Apron: The outer edge of the felt table layout At Risk: Usually, when a player's bet is active or 'in action' Backline: Same as the Don't Pass Line Big 6: A bet that a 6 will be rolled before a 7 comes up Big 8: A bet that an 8 will be rolled before a 7 comes up.

Pass Line Odds Payoffs and Probability. The payouts that are offered when playing Craps are all based on probability and the chances of a certain number being rolled. The true odds for Pass Line bets are 251:244, but the payout odds are 1:1. With this bet, there is a house edge of 1.41%. Beginner craps players, if you can remember only one bet, make it the pass line bet. This is the starting bet for all craps games and has one of the lowest house edges at 1.41% and highest odds of landing (251 to 244 to be exact). This is one of the best bets craps players can make, with payout odds of 1 to 1.
This bet is interesting because the any seven bet serves as a type of hedge bet. For example, if the shooter rolls a 7, the player will win just as much as they would lose on the horn, essentially breaking even. The player would win a profit on the horn bet though, but not as much since they would lose some money on the 7 bet. The world bet is all about risk management.
The odds of Whirl Bet
The actual odds of winning the whirl bet are 2:1. The payout odds are a little more complicated though. If the shooter rolls a 2 or 12, the payout is 26:5. If the shooter rolls a 3 or 11, the payout is 11:5. If the shooter rolls a 7, the payout is 0:1, which results in a push and you get your money back. Overall, the total house edge ends up being 13.33%. So given how complicated this bet is, the house edge is pretty bad and not good for the player. Although, it depends on the rules of the casino. Some casinos allow a payout of 5:1 on sevens instead of 4:1, which would provide some major improvements in the odds.
Examples of this bet to understand how it works
Here are few examples to understand this bet. Let’s say you wager $5 on the World and the two or twelve craps roll. Depending on the odds displayed on the layout the payoff will be somewhere around $30. The dealer will pay you $30 minus $4 – which provides the money to re-bet the losing numbers. Net pay is $26. If the three craps rolled, this pays $15 minus the $4 in losing bets – or $11.
When a craps number rolls on the Come Out you lose your Pass Line bet, so this bet works as a hedge in that regards – an expensive hedge, but a hedge nonetheless. In a $10 game you’d turn a net $1 profit on a three craps and a $16 profit on a two or twelve. If the eleven rolls you collect net $11 on the World bet plus $10 on the Pass Line for a total of $21. If the seven wins you’re “paid” net $4 on the Any Sevens portion of the World bet. That $4 keeps the Horn portion of your World bet up to win again, so it is effectively a “Push”
