A Closer Look at the Craps Come Bets

There are many players who are fond of making come bets during a session of craps. Some even make a profit out of come bets as well as enjoying the really fast action in such wagers. Come bets need not be that confusing since they work very much like a pass line bet. The craps rules even allow players to make come bets for every single roll of the dice.

Many experienced craps players place one unit on the pass line bet and make a couple of come bets on the table layout during a session. Here's how the come bets work when you make them in a craps game. The rules that apply to come bets are just the same as the ones that apply to pass line bets. You can only make come bets after the shooter has tossed the dice for a come out roll.

On the next roll, if the dice totals to either a seven or an 11 the come bet wins, but if the total is two, three, or 12 then the come bet loses. If the total is not within the said sums then the come bet is moved to a box showing the total that came up. If the same total comes up again then it wins. The come bet loses finally if a total of seven turns up again. The craps rules state that players can also make odds bets on come bets as well.

Since the come bets seem like a decent bunch of wagers, what's the bad side to them? The disadvantage that you'll surely notice is that the come bets leaves you with a lot of leftover bets in the process. Take note that you are looking forward that the point that was made earlier will come up again before a seven turns up. You can expect that you'll be left with the points made on the layout not to mention the odds you also might have made. An added treat is that the house will allow you to decide to switch your odds bets either on or off.

A nice tip about the odds bets that ride on your come bets is that you have them off if you only have one come bet on the craps layout, but if you have two on the layout have them on.

Come bets are a great alternative if you want to try something new in craps. Just remember how to handle the odds bets that ride along with your come bets.
