Craps Rules -
Basic Bets
There are two basic bets (made before or after the Come-out roll) with two
variations (betting for the shooter or against the shooter) for a total of four.
Pass Line Bets / Don't Pass Bets are made before the Come-out roll is
made. Pass Line bets are for the shooter while the Don't Pass bets are bets
against the shooter
Come Bets / Don't Come Bets are made after the Come-out roll, this is the
only difference from Pass Line bets and Don't Pass bets. The bets pay the same
and have the same odds. Note that the Point for the come bet is not the same as
the Point for the Pass Line bet. If you are unsure if the toss is a Come-out
roll look for a large white disc, which is placed on one of the numbers 4, 5, 6,
8, 9 or 10 on the table layout. This disc lets you know that the Point has been
established, what it is, and that the next rolls will be Point rolls.
These wagers pay in the following manner:
