The Pass Line Bet:

When you place your bet on the pass line before a new shooter begins their roll, a simple Pass Line bet begins. Physically, all you have to do is place your chips in the middle of the big band labeled the Pass Line. If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11, you win. In case the shooter rolls a 2, 3, or 12, you lose. If the shooter rolls any other number, that number becomes the point number and your bet stays up. To win your Pass Line bet you want the shooter to roll that number (the point) again before a seven is rolled. If a seven is rolled before the point number is rolled again, you lose the Pass Line bet. The same process starts once again as soon as number 7 is rolled, or the point number. Though, very few bets hold low house edge the game allows the player to place innumerable amount of bets. The Pass Line bet, probably the most common bet, happens to hold one of the lowest house edges.

The Don't Pass Bet:

To place this bet, you have to place your chips in the narrow section just beyond the Pass Line labeled Don't Pass. In this bet you win on 2, 3, or 12, and lose on numbers 7 or 11. A 12 on the come out roll is like a push in Blackjack, a position where nobody wins or loses. The number that is rolled next becomes the point and you win if 7 is repeated before the point is repeated. Notice how this is the opposite of the Pass Line bet, and also notice how you win when the shooter loses. It may appear to be very nice of the casino to offer an opposite bet of the normal one, but the amount that the casino pays for a Don't pass bet with odds is crappy, to say the least.

Free Odds:

Free Odds can be taken on the Pass Line, the Don't Pass Line, Come, and Don't Pass bets. One can only place free odds bets on the table after you have placed certain negative expectation (in order to back these bets with better odds). Just to Illustrate this point, suppose you place a pass line bet for $5, and the table allows for free odds up to 10 times, you can place $50of free odds behind your original $5 bet. In effect, it lowers the original house edge of the pass line bet.

The Come Bet:

You'll quickly notice the large area of the craps board labeled with 'Come' smack dab in the middle of the playing area. Before reading ahead please make sure you have read about the Pass bet and other rules of craps given earlier. If you know everything about Pass Line bet, then understanding 'Come' bet will not be a problem whatsoever. 'Come' bet is absolutely similar to Pass Line bet except that, you can place your bets even after the pointer is set. There is nothing like a come bet on the Come out roll as it will become absolutely similar to the ass Line bet.

The Don't Come Bet:

The don't come bet is the exact opposite of the come bet. It Is made after the point Is set by the shooter. If a 7 0r 11 is rolled the don't come bet loses, If a 2 or 3 is rolled It wins, and 12 Is a standoff.
