How "to 1" works
"8 to 1" means you win eight times your bet and keep the bet. A 5 Trips bet on a full house comes back as 45: 40 won plus your 5. "3 to 2" means you win 3 for every 2 you bet, so a 10 Blind on a flush wins 15.
Other Trips tables
Trips tables vary from casino to casino. The top three lines, 50, 40 and 30, are the same on the common tables. The full house, flush and straight lines change, and so does the house edge: 0.90% on a 50-40-30-9-7-4-3 table, 1.90% on the table here, and 3.50% on 50-40-30-8-7-4-3.
Where the money is
Most of what you win comes from the Ante and Play. The Play bet is the one you control, and the right size at the right time matters more than any payout line. When to bet 4x, 2x or 1x.
