Once you’ve mastered the pass line and odds bets, the natural progression is to begin making come bets. For instance, if you bet on a hard 8 and the shooter rolls a 4 and 4, then you win.

Hard ways are when you roll two of the same number to total 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12. This is a one-roll bet where you place a bet in the field and if the next roll is a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 or 12, you win. That number then becomes the point and the shooter’s goal is to roll that number before he or she rolls a 7 in order to win on the pass line. The 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 at the top of the table are where the puck goes if the shooter rolls one of those numbers on the come-out roll. WHAT ARE THE NUMBERS ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT OF THE PUCK? If you are shy, or just want to get a feel for the game before taking your shot, you can absolutely pass on your turn! If the shooter rolls a 7 before they roll their number, then you win. This bet means you’re betting against the shooter rolling their point that was established on the come-out roll. The don’t pass bar is the exact opposite of the pass line. You win if the shooter rolls the point value you lose if the shooter rolls a 7 and the table is then reset. If the roll results in a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10, then that point value is established and your pass line bet stays on the table until that point value is rolled again or the shooter rolls a 7.

If the shooter rolls a 2, 3 or 12, your pass line bet loses. When you bet on the pass line, you’re betting on the shooter to roll a 7 or 11 on their come-out roll. The pass line is the simplest bet in the game. If he or she rolls a 2, 3 or 12, the bet loses, otherwise known as “crapping out.” If it results in any other number, that point value is established. If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11, then the pass line wins.

The come-out roll is the first roll a new shooter makes.
