CRAPS is my best game. In last month’s article, I provided a simple strategy based on the PASS line bet. In this article, I will expand on that strategy by adding the COME bet.
The COME bet can only be made after a Point (4,5,6,8,9, or 10) has been rolled. The COME bet works just like a PASS line bet, a 7 or 11 wins; a 2,3 or 12 loses; or a second Point is established. In the case of the latter, you can now make an ODDS bet.
To better understand the PASS, COME and ODDS bets, I will use the CRAPS layout diagram as a visual aid. Figure 1 on the right simulates the CRAPS layout before a Point has been established. The black circle containing the word signifies this is a Come Out roll. The player has made a $1 bet on the PASS line.
The dice are rolled, the result is a 6. The OFF button switches to ON and is now appearing in the 6 box. The player makes a $1 PASS ODDS bet and a COME bet. The layout appears as shown in Figure 2. The next roll of the dice is a 4. Neither the PASS line or COME bets win or lose.
The COME bet is moved to the 4 box. The player makes an ODDS bet on the 4. The amount you bet can be equal to, or a multiple of, the COME bet. Depending on the game manufacturer and/or casino, the amount of the ODDS bet is based on a multiplier—1x, 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x.
The CRAPS layout now appears as shown in Figure 3. A 4 is rolled again. You win $5. The amount you win is based on the odds. Let’s figure it out.
There are eleven numbers that can be rolled: 2-12. There are 36 combinations: 6×6. The 7 can be rolled six ways. The 6 and 8 can be rolled five ways each, 5 and 9 four each, 4 and 10 three each.
The point to win CRAPS
The Point wins if it is rolled before a 7, thus the odds of the 4 winning are 6:3 or 2:1. The amount you win is $3, $1 for the 4 and $2 for the 4 ODDS. The total payout is $5, including your initial bet.
Once a COME bet wins, the bet and winnings are returned to you. You can now make another COME bet. Do not increase your bet amount. Remember, if a 7 is rolled, your COME bet wins; however, your PASS and PASS ODDS bet lose. That’s okay. The $2 you just won on the COME bet covers your PASS bet loss. If an 11 is rolled your COME bet wins and your PASS bet is unaffected. If a 2, 3 or 12 is rolled your COME bet loses.
If a 4 is rolled again, then press the COME ODDS bet by increasing the bet one unit, or $1 as shown in Figure 4. Continue to press the ODDS bet if the 4 continues to be rolled. If the 6 is rolled, then the PASS and PASS ODDS bets win. Since the PASS point is 6, then you win $1 for the PASS LINE bet, and $1.20 (6:5) for the PASS ODDS bet, a total payout of $4.20. The next roll is a Come Out roll. Next month I will cover the PLACE and BUY bets.
