Sic bo is a dice game in which 3 die are thrown and the aim of the game to predict the outcome of that throw. The table has all the possible bets represented on it and in order to lay a bet you must lay, or have the croupier lay, your chips on the area of the table that corresponds to the bet you wish to make. There are around 50 possible combinations of bets that can be made, however, there are only 7 bet types, and these can be understood as follows:

1. Single dice bet: the single dice bet is a bet on any single number appearing on any single dice. Hence with this type of bet you bet on any one number, 1-6. If it appears on 1 of the dice you will make even money, should it appear on 2 or 3 of the dice you will get a pay out of 2:1 and 3:1 respectively.

2. Combination bet: the combination bet is a combination of 2 figures coming up in any form on any of the 3 dice. For example, a bet on 2 and 5 would require each of those numbers appearing once in the throw. This type of bet has a 5:1 payout.

3. A Pair: the pair bet is a wager that a pair will appear, but it does not specify what that pair is. The payout for a pair bet is 8:1.

4. A Sum bet: A sum bet is when you make a bet on the sum of all the faces that will appear in the throw. This bet must therefore be of a sum of between 4 and 17, the reason why it can't be 3 or 18 will be apparent from bet type number 7. The payout of the sum bet will vary between 6:1 and 50:1.

5. Small and Large bet: this is another type of sum bet but less specific than bet type number 4. The small and large bet is a bet on if the sum of the roll will be between 4 and 10, a small bet, or between 11 and 17, a large bet.

6. A triple bet: the triple bet is similar to the 3 of a kind bet in that you are predicting that the same face will show on all dice, except that in the triple bet you are wagering on the occurrence and not the specific number, hence the triple bet has a smaller payout of, 24:1.

7. 3 of a kind: this is the biggest payout that you can find in sic bo, because it's the most unlikely. 3 of a kind is the prediction of the 3 faces coming up with the same number that you predicted. The 3 of a kind bet has odds of 150:1.
