Pass & Don't Pass Bets

The shooter has only two betting options: Pass or Don't Pass Bets.

There are two ways in which the players can win either of these bets. The easiest way to win a Pass or Don't Pass bet is on the come out roll. To win with a Pass bet, the shooter must roll a 7 or 11. To win with a Don't Pass, the shooter must roll a 2 or 3.

When a Pass bet wins, the Don't Pass bets lose. And when a Don't Pass bet wins, the Pass bets lose.

If a 2, 3, 7, 11 or 12 is not rolled in the come out roll, then the total that is rolled establishes the point. For Pass bets to win the shooter must roll the point again before rolling a 7. And for the Don't Pass bets to win, the shooter must roll a 7 before rolling the point again.

Come & Don't Come Bets

After Pass and Don't Pass bets, the most popular bets are the Come and Don't Come. Come and Don't Come bets are similar to the Pass/Don't Pass bets, except that they are made after the come out roll and thus establish their own point.

Multi-Roll Bets

The most complex bets in a craps game are the multi-roll bets. These bets predict that a shooter will throw a particular dice total before throwing a 7.
