Craps has many bets that may intimidate you at first but are very simple when studied. The main bet in craps is the pass line bet. The players place their bets on the pass line. Then proceeds to roll the dice hoping for a 7 or 11 to win instantly. If rolled 2,3, or 12 the player loses instantly. Any other number gets rolled it becomes what is called the POINT. The POINT then gets placed on what number the player rolled and now the player has to roll that POINT before he rolls a seven or the player loses. If the POINT gets rolled then the player keeps rolling a new come-out until they have rolled a seven.
POINT – the dice have already been rolled and whatever number was rolled the point will be on that number.
The COME BET is the exact same style, but in order to bet on the come bet there must already be a POINT in play. From there you may place a bet that states that that number will come before the seven.
The DON’T COME BET and the DON’T PASS BAR are the exact opposite of the COME BET and PASS BAR bets. If the SHOOTER rolls a 2 or 3 you win instantly and if rolled a 7 or 11 you lose instantly if rolled a 12 it is a PUSH. These bets have a slightly better advantage for the player, because if a POINT gets rolled and the bet is on the DON’T COME. The player is betting that a seven will come before the POINT which is more likely considering the seven has the highest percentage to be rolled.
