Craps Waging

Pass Line

On the come-out roll, if the total of the two dice is 7 or 11, you win, and your chips double. This is called a 'win' or a 'natural'. If they roll a 2, 3 or 12, you lose and your chips are taken away. This is called 'craps' and ends the round immediately.

If the shooter rolls any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) on the come-out roll, this number becomes what is called the point and then you enter the Point Round.

In the point round, the shooter will re-roll the dice continuously and try to roll the same number again before rolling a 7. If the shooter rolls the point again, the round ends and the game starts over with the same shooter rolling another come-out roll. If the shooter rolls a 7 instead of the point, this is called a 'seven-out,' the round ends, and the dice pass to the next player to the left, who becomes the new shooter.

Don't Pass Line

This is the opposite of the pass line bet. With the "Don't Pass Line" wager, you lose on the "come out" roll if the shooter rolls a 7 or 11. You win on a 2 or 3 (12 is a tie). Once a point is established, you lose if the point is thrown and win if a 7 rolls.

Come Bets

This is a bet that can be made anytime after the first roll when a shooter has a point to make. You win on a 7 or 11 and lose on a 2, 3 or 12. Any other number becomes your "come point" and must be repeated for you to win before a 7 rolls.

Don't Come Bets

This is also a bet that can be made anytime after the first roll when a shooter has a point to make. The opposite of the "Come Bet", you win if 2 or 3 roll (12 is a tie), and lose if 7 or 11 roll. Any other number rolled becomes your "come point" and if repeated you lose. If a 7 rolls you win.

Odds

The odds bet can be taken once a point is made on the first roll or a come point on a succeeding roll. You win if the point or come points are made before a 7.

Place Bets

With Place bets you have to wait for the shooter to make a point and then you may make a "place bet" on numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10. If the shooter rolls any of these numbers before a 7, you win.

Field Bets

Field bets are one roll bets. With field bets, you win on 3, 4, 9, 10 and 11. You win 2 to 1 on 2. and you win 3 to 1 on 12. You lose on 5, 6, 7, and 8.

Proposition Bets

Proposition bets can be found in the center of the table and are one roll bets

Hardways

With a hardway bet, you are betting that the shooter rolls a pair. This is not a one-roll bet. Hardways win if the dice roll as a pair and lose if a 7 rolls.
