Come Bets

Come bets are like Pass line bets, but you can make a Come bet on every roll of the dice after the shooter has established his point. To differentiate between a Pass line bet and a Come bet, wagers are placed on different areas of the table layout.

A new series of rolls begins when the shooter makes his point or – if the seven has been rolled – when the dice pass to a new shooter. Almost all craps players commence their wagering at this point by making a Pass line bet, with “odds off” on their Come bets, if they have made any.

Come bet odds are routinely cut off during a come out roll, and are automatically put back in action once a new point has been established, unless, of course, the bettor instructs the dealer otherwise. The logic is that you are rooting for the seven, so you can be paid on your Pass line bet. You can’t make any money winning one and losing the other, but you can have your odds working if you happen to be making a singular Come bet.

All Craps Odds wagers can be on or off at your discretion. Just tell the dealer on the come out roll that you want your "odds working." Or, if you want to halt odds action temporarily on a Come bet, just tell the dealer "odds off." The dealer will mark the odds off with a marker. If you want to remove the odds completely on a Come bet, tell the dealer to "take your odds down," and this removes your odds from the layout.
