Some bets are available only for the come out roll. A black marker is displayed in the top left-hand corner of the Craps table prior to a come out roll. Some bets are available only after a Point has been established. A Point is established if the come out roll is either 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10. The number rolled, is called the Point and the next roll(s) is called the Point roll. Point rolls continue until the shooter rolls a 7 or the Point.

Once this happens, the sequence starts again with the next roll as a come out roll.

1. The Pass Line Bet: This type of bet is the most simple and familiar of the Craps bets. This type of bet is an even money bet which means that if a player bet a specific amount of money he will get that specific amount back. With this type of bet, the player wins if the dice land on the number 7 or 11 and he lose if it lands on 2, 3, or 12. After this play, if the next roll is a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, he has the “Point.” If the Point is tossed again before the number 7 comes up, the player has a repeat, which means he wins “on the pass line.” This is considered a dollar for dollar bet. The bet can now be increased since a foundation has been established.


2. The Don`t Pass Line Bet: This is like a backwards Pass Line bet. The player loses if the first roll is the number 7 or 11. The number 2 or 3 is a winner. The number 12 is called a “Push” and it means that the player doesn’t win or lose anything. If the first turn results in a Point then a 7 must be rolled before another Point in order to win. If the Point is rolled again before the number 7 then according to the Don’t Pass Line bet, the player loses.


3. The Place Bet: Using this type of bet, a player can make a wager on the probability that a specific number will be rolled. This type of bet, however, can only be utilized after a Point has been created. Before the next dice is rolled, a player can request from the dealer a bet on a particular number. Depending on the number, the odds are either higher or lower, which means each number also has a particular price.


4. The Com Bet: This bet is very similar to the Pass Line bet mentioned before because it’s an even money bet (the player wins whatever he betted). The difference between these 2 bets is that a Come bet must be made after the Point has been established on the Pass Line. After the Come bet has been made, the first roll of the dice will decide the Come Point.


5. The Dont`t Come Bet: This bet is the reverse of the Come bet, similar to the situation with the Pass Line bet and the Don’t Pass Line bet.


6. The Field Bet: This bet allows the player to bet on the probability of a designated number (similar to the Place bet). This is also an even money bet. The numbers 3, 4, 9, 10, or 11 can be bet on. A 2 rolled means the player gets paid double and a 12 means triple pay. If the number rolled is a 5, 6, 7, or 8 the player loses the bet.


7. The proposition Bet: This type of bet is set in the middle of the table. If the player can win, the pay is good, and the bet can be placed on any roll.
