Craps Bets

If you're new to craps, the game's odd jargon and apparent complexity (because of the plethora of betting options) may, at first, be intimidating. However, as time passes, you'll quickly find that this game is relatively simple to master, very enjoyable and quite rewarding when played well. Understanding the various types of craps bets is one of the keys to ensuring that the game is actually enjoyable and rewarding for you. Below, we look in detail at some of the many types of craps bets that you can place.

Pass Line Bet: The wager is placed on the PASS LINE field. A wager on the PASS LINE wins if the COME OUT ROLL is a 7 or 11 and loses if a 2, 3 or 12 is rolled first. If the COME OUT roll is a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 the POINT is established. To win the bet, you must repeat the POINT before a 7 is rolled. If you roll a 7 before the POINT is repeated, the PASS LINE bet loses. Once the POINT is established, the bet may not be removed or changed.

Don't Pass Bets: The wager is placed on the DON’T PASS BAR field. A wager on the DON’T PASS BAR wins if the COME OUT ROLL of the dice is a 2 or 3, and loses if a 7 or 11 is rolled first. If you roll a 12, it is considered a tie and play continues. If the COME OUT roll is a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 the POINT is established. To win the bet, you must roll a 7 before the POINT is repeated. If you repeat the POINT before a 7 is rolled the DON’T PASS LINE bet loses. Once the POINT is established, the bet may not be removed or changed.

Come Bets: COME bets are made after the POINT has been established. The rules for this bet are the same as for the PASS LINE bet. The wager is placed on the COME field. A wager on the COME field wins if the dice throw – immediately following the placement of the bet - is a 7 or 11 and loses if a 2, 3 or 12 is rolled. If the roll is a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10, the COME POINT is established. To win the bet, you must repeat the COME POINT before a 7 is rolled. If you roll a 7 before the COME POINT is repeated, the COME bet loses. Once the COME POINT is established, the bet may not be removed or changed.

Don't Come Bets: DON'T COME bets are made after the POINT has been established. The rules for this bet are the same as the DON'T PASS LINE bet. The wager is placed on the DON’T COME BAR field. A wager on the DON'T COME BAR field wins if the dice throw – immediately following the placement of the bet – is a 2 or 3 and loses if a 7 or 11 is rolled. If you roll a 12, it is considered a tie and play continues. If the roll is a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 the COME POINT is established. To win the bet, you must roll a 7 before the COME POINT is repeated. If you repeat the COME POINT before a 7 is rolled the DON’T COME bet loses. Once the COME POINT is established, the bet may not be removed or changed.

Place Bets: Place bets are made on the numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 only.

Place Bet To Win: The wager is placed on the WIN field below the number. To win the bet, you must roll the place number before a 7 is rolled; otherwise the bet loses. The bet may be placed or removed at any time.

Place Bet To Lose: The wager is placed on the LOSE field above the number. To win the bet, you must roll a 7 before the place number is rolled; otherwise the bet loses. The bet may be placed or removed at any time.
