Three dice decide every bet on a sic bo layout at once, and the bets that look most exciting are almost always the ones with the steepest published house edge. This page ranks the standard sic bo bets against MILYON88’s table games rundown so the odds are clear before any money is on the felt. Nothing here sets a specific table’s minimums or payout card — those are read off the layout itself.
Before you place a sic bo bet
A standard sic bo setup is simple, even if the bet options on it are not.
- Three six-sided dice, shaken in a covered container or drum.
- A betting layout marking Small, Big, Odd/Even, single numbers, doubles, triples and dice totals.
- A read of which bets the table actually pays and at what odds, since payouts are set at the table, not by this page.
Step by step: how a sic bo round settles
Every round runs the same five stages, whatever bets are on the table.
- Understand the three dice. They’re shaken together and revealed all at once — there’s no drawing or further action after the shake.
- Pick a low-edge bet first. Small or Big, each paying 1 to 1, carries the lowest published house edge on the layout.
- Know what a triple does to Small and Big. Any three-of-a-kind roll voids both bets automatically, whatever total it would have made.
- Weigh the higher-paying bets. Triple and single-number bets pay far more, at a much steeper house edge, because the dice combination they need is rarer.
- Read the payout card first. Posted odds vary by table, so check what a specific bet actually pays before betting it.
Sic Bo bets ranked by house edge
| Bet | Typical payout | House edge |
|---|---|---|
| Small / Big | 1 to 1 | 2.78% |
| Single number | 1 to 1 (2 to 1 or 3 to 1 if it hits twice or three times) | about 7.87% |
| Specific double | 10 to 1 | 18.52% |
| Any triple | 30 to 1 | 13.89% |
| Specific triple | 180 to 1 | 16.2% |
Why Small and Big carry the lowest edge
Small and Big bets lose only when the three dice land as a matching triple — every other roll pays. That single voiding rule is nearly the whole reason the published house edge on these two bets sits at 2.78%, well below every other bet on the layout.
A specific triple needs one exact number on all three dice, which is why its 180 to 1 payout still leaves a 16.2% house edge behind it. A bigger number on the payout card is not the same thing as a better bet.
Common sic bo mistakes
Chasing a specific-triple bet after a long run of misses on it.
Dice have no memory. Each shake is independent of the last, and a bet carrying a 16.2% house edge doesn’t get any safer because it hasn’t hit in a hundred rolls.
Treating any-triple as a safe bet because it seems to hit more often than a specific triple.
Any triple still needs three matching dice on one roll, which published odds price at a 13.89% house edge — high-variance, not low-risk, whatever the payout card’s bigger number suggests.
Betting Big and a specific triple on the same roll, not realizing a triple voids the first.
Read the layout before combining bets. A triple roll pays the triple bets and loses every Small or Big bet in the same moment, so plan for both outcomes rather than assuming they stack.

FAQ
What is sic bo?
Sic Bo is a dice game where three six-sided dice are shaken and the result settles every bet on the layout at once — totals, doubles, triples, single numbers and more.
Which sic bo bet has the lowest house edge?
Small (totals 4 to 10) and Big (totals 11 to 17) both carry a published house edge of 2.78%, the lowest of any bet on a standard sic bo layout.
Why do Small and Big bets lose on a triple?
Any roll where all three dice match — a triple — makes every Small and Big bet lose automatically, whatever the total would otherwise have been. That rule is exactly what keeps the house edge on those bets down near 2.78%.
Is sic bo the same game as dragon tiger?
No. Sic Bo settles on three dice; dragon tiger settles on a single card dealt to each of two spots. The house-edge numbers and the betting layout are entirely different games.
