Craps Techniques - How to Play Craps
The Come Bet: This is quite similar to the original Pass Line bet we have spoken about. It is an even money bet (ie bet $1 and you receive $1 if you win). The only real difference between the Pass Line and the Come Bet is that you make a come bet after the point has been determined on the pass line. After you make a come bet, the first roll of the dice will establish the come point. If a 7 or 11 rolls, youare an automatic winner. But if you roll 2, 3, or 12 on the first roll you lose.
The Odds-On Come Bet: Just like in the original Pass Line Bet, you can take odds in the Come Bet. This means that you can bet additional money that the shooter is going to make his point. The odds on come bets takes place exactly the same way it does in the Pass Line, except that the dealer takes the money and places it on the come point for you.
The Don't Pass Line bet: This is the Pass Line Bet in reverse. Simply, if the first roll of the dice is a 7 or 11, you lose. If it is a 2 or 3, you win. If the roll is a 12, it is called a push and you neither win or lose. If the first roll is a point, a 7 must be rolled before that point is repeated in order to win. If the point is repeated before the 7, the "don't pass line" loses. The odds are reversed in the don't pass. The Don't Come Bets: Like the Don't Pass Line bet, the Don't Come Bets is the some as the Come Bet but in reverse. The rules are the same as in the don't pass line bet. The only difference is that the dealer places your bet on the come point as it is rolled.
