In principle, betting on Sic Bo is more than a bit like roulette. Though you can bet in various ways, all wagers all centered on the outcome of the next dice throw. Choices for betting include the following.
-- bet on any single number 1-6 appearing on any die. Payout equals number of dice showing the chosen number times your wager.
-- bet on any of 30 combinations of two unlike numbers showing up on any two of the dice. Winners are paid at 5x wager.
-- bet on "any triplet" to win 24x wager or select a specific three-of-a-kind, a.k.a. a roll of 2-2-2 to win a whopping 150x wager.
-- bet on the total sum of all three dice between 4 and 17 (rolls totaling 3 and 18 are covered within the triplet bets); payoffs on winning bets here are between 6x and 50x wager depending on number chosen.
-- finally, bet on "small" or "big" to win double your wager. A roll of 4-10 is "small" and 11-17 is "big."
