crapsSome bettors at the Craps table are impatient with the rolls of the dice and they want to bet certain numbers after the initial roll of the dice.  For instance, you might want to cover a bet on the number 10 if it is uncovered by you on the board during the come portion of the betting.  So, if you cover the 10 and the shooter rolls a 10, you’ll win at 9-5 odds.  You must remember that if you are going to bet the 10 and return 9-5 odds for your investment, you must bet on the casino Craps table in multiples of 9. Therefore, you should bet 9 or 18 or some other derivative of 9.  These bets are known as “Place” bets.

 

Place bets are to the casino’s advantage because they don’t pay off with the odds you’ll receive with an odds bet or a come bet.  However, place bets do add to the fervor created at the Craps table.

If there is a roll of the dice and neither the duplicate number nor a 7 is rolled, we enter the third level of betting.  This is known as the Come Bet and it is made prior to the next roll of the dice.  It gives the player a chance at another number.  Let’s say that the shooter rolled an 8 on the third roll.  If you want to place a come bet, you bet on the come line and your number on the come is 8.  So, for arguments sake, the first number rolled was a 5, and the second roll was an 8.  If either the 5 or the 8 is rolled on the next roll, you will win the pass line bet and the come bet and lose the odds bet. 

The come bet is similar to the pass bet because in the above illustration, if the shooter rolled a 7, 11, or an 8, you would have won the come bet.  Likewise, if the shooter had rolled a 2, 3, or 7, you would have lost your come bet.  It is quite possible to win and lose on the game of Craps, and that is what makes it exhilarating for the online player.
