Buffalo (Craps term)
In the game of craps, “Buffalo” is a term used to refer to a bet on the Hardways and the Eleven. In craps, the Hardways are a group of bets on the numbers four, six, eight, and ten, and the Eleven is a bet on the number eleven. A Buffalo bet is a single bet that covers both the Hardways and the Eleven, and it pays out if either of these numbers is rolled. A Buffalo bet is often considered to be a sucker bet, as it has a high house edge and it is difficult to win. Some players enjoy making Buffalo bets for the thrill of betting on two numbers at once, but others avoid them due to their low expected value.
