Craps – The come bet

One of the first things to remember when playing craps is that the odds to have in mind while playing is not only the odds of the bets but also the odds of the dices which could be calculated by multiplying the quantity of ways a number could rolled by the quantity of faces a dices have, for example a 7 have 6 ways of being rolled out which is the basis of the house edge. Now to the point, the come bet is a bet placed on the come area, the bet works like the pass line with the difference that it could be placed on any moment of the round and the next time the shooter rolls it will be your come-out roll, hence the name come line.

The come bet is designed to behave essentially like a pass line bet, with the exception that a come bet could be placed anytime throughout the game, the procedure would be to place the chips on the come area and on the next roll of the dices if the shooters get 7 or 11 the player win automatically, if the shooter rolls 2, 3 or 12 craps, you lose else you establish a point, moment in which the dealer moves your chips to the lay area of the table where you point is established,  like when playing pass line bets the player could place odds, he could place them just behind his bet on the come area, if he is fast enough, else he needs to place them on the come area and announce to the dealer “Odds on Come” which means the dealer would place the chips on top of the point you established. A variation of the pass line bet would be that if on a come out roll a user rolls a 2, 3 or 12 craps the player lose the bets but the odds are returned to him and works vice versa if the shooters wins a point he gets paid for the bets and not for the odds, of course he could tell the dealer to keep the odds working and they would be considered to any outcome of the next dices roll by the shooter.  

Is of very high importance for the player to make a mental bookmark when playing the come bet, the player have winning opportunities not only for the points he have established but also for the points that the shooter has making a real winning combination, of course that correspond to a betting strategy.
