BETS AND PAYOUTS

Line Bet

Can only be placed on come out rolls.

The line bet consists of two opposite bets. You either place chips in the Pass Line bet field or in the Don't Pass Bar field.

	Win	Lose	Bet returned	Payout
Pass line	7,11	2,3,12	--	1 to 1
Don't pass	2, 3	7, 11	12	1 to 1

Any other outcome of the roll initiates a session and the number rolled becomes the point number. A white marker is placed above the point number in the number bets field.

Example

John arrives at the table and places a $5 bet in the pass line field. He rolls the come out roll and a six and a one come up, totaling 7. His pass line bet wins and the session ends.

He then opts to play the same pass line bet and rolls a new come out roll. This time hitting a 5 and a 4, totaling 9. The nine does not end the session, so his bet stays in the pass line field and a marker is placed above the number 9 in the number bets field. The 9 is now the point number for that session.

Point Bet

Cannot be placed on come out rolls.

Example

John places a $5 pass line bet and rolls the come out roll, which totals 9. The bet neither wins nor loses and the session continues with 9 now marked as the point number.

John's bet is still in place but is now in fact a point bet based on the point number 9.

For his bet to win, he needs to roll another 9 before he rolls a 7.

Had his initial line bet been a don't pass line bet he would need to roll 7 before rolling the point number.

	Win	Lose	Payout
Pass line point bet	point number	7	1 to 1
Don't pass point bet	7	point number	1 to 1

He cannot remove this bet before rolling the point number (a win) or a 7 (a loss) and thus ending the session.

Notice how the two initial pass line and don't pass line bets also work in opposite ways to point number bets.

Every time your line bet wins your winnings are added to your initial bet.

So in order to bring winnings home you must either RETRACT all your bets or decrease the now doubled line bet.

Come/Don’t come Bet

Cannot be placed on come out rolls.

Come bets are line bets and work just like pass/don't pass bets. But instead of being placed during come out rolls they are placed before each roll within a session, known as field rolls.

	Win	Lose	Bet returned	Payout
Come	7, 11	2, 3, 12	--	1 to 1
Don't Come	2, 3	7, 11	12	1 to 1

If the come/don't come bet wins or loses it is either removed or doubled (you can retract it at any time).

If a come/don't come bet neither wins nor loses on the roll, it too is transformed into a point bet based on the number rolled.

But since that number will not be marked by a white marker, instead the bet is moved from the come/don't come field to the corresponding point bet field on the layout.

Note: If the point number or a 7 is rolled, the session ends. The next roll is a new come out roll, during which all come/don’t come bets are inactive.

Hardway Bet

Cannot be placed on come out rolls.

Hardway bets are based on the following double combinations.

Combination	Payout
2-2	7 to 1
3-3	9 to 1
4-4	9 to 1
5-5	7 to 1

You win if the specific double is rolled before a seven or any other combination totalling that sum is rolled. Example: The hardway bet 2-2 loses if 1-3 is rolled.

Note: If the point number or a 7 is rolled, the session ends. The next roll is a new come out roll, during which all hardway bets are inactive.

Field Bet

Can be placed before any roll.

The field bet is a bet based on the total sum of a roll.

Win sum	Lose sum	Payout
3, 4, 9, 10 or 11	5-8	1 to 1
2	5-8	2 to 1
12	5-8	3 to 1

Big 6 and Big 8 Bet

Can be placed before any roll.

These two bets work just like point bets. You are hoping for a 6 or an 8, depending on what number you choose, being rolled before a 7 is rolled.

Number rolled	Lose	Payout
6 (if bet on 6)	7	1 to 1
8 (if bet on 8)	7	1 to 1

All other outcomes of the roll are considered a push (bet remains).

Number Bet

Can be placed before any roll.

Number bets are bets on a specific combination being rolled and can be found at the outmost right of the layout, mixed with the hardway bets. If the combination is not matched on the following roll, the bet is lost. (Notice how this differs from the hardway bets which do not necessarily win or lose on each roll.)

The "Any Craps" bet wins if a 2, 3 or 12 is rolled. The 'Seven’ bet wins on any combination that totals 7.

Specific combination	Payout
1+1 and 6+6	30 to 1
1+2 and 5+6	15 to 1
Any Craps: 2, 3 or 12	7 to 1
Seven (total of 7)	4 to 1

C-E Bet

Can be placed before any roll.

The C-E bet is located in between the line bets field and the number bets field. This is a one roll bet that either wins or loses on the roll that follows.

Sum		Payout
2,3 or 12		3 to 1
11		7 to 1
All other	Loss

Place Bet

Cannot be placed on come out rolls.

A place bet is a bet that 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 will be rolled before a 7 is rolled. Each bet covers one of the numbers. Bets are placed in the narrow field just below the point bet number area.

Bet on		Bet against		Payout
4 or 10		7		9 to 5
5 or 9		7		7 to 5
6 or 8		7		7 to 6

Any other outcome other than a winning place bet number or a 7 leaves the bet untouched.

Note: If the point number or a 7 is rolled, the session ends. The next roll is a new come out roll, during which all place bets are inactive.

Buy Bet

Cannot be placed on come out rolls.

A buy bet is a bet that 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 will be rolled before a 7 is rolled.

By picking one of these numbers, and placing a chip in the point number area for that number, you hope to roll that number before a 7 is rolled. The payout varies depending on the likelihood of the number you picked being rolled before a 7.

You can remove a buy bet at any time.

Bet on	Bet against	Payout
4 or 10	7	2 to 1
5 or 9	7	3 to 2
6 or 8	7	6 to 5

Commission: All winning buy bets are charged a 5% commission. Payouts are calculated after commission has been charged.

For example, John places a $100 Buy Bet on 10 (pays 2 to 1). He wins and $5 is charged from his original bet leaving $95. The payout is then $95 x 2 = $190. Thus he nets $185 from the bet.
Note: If the point number or a 7 is rolled, the session ends. The next roll is a new come out roll, during which all buy bets are inactive.

Lay Bet

Cannot be placed on come out rolls.

A lay bet is a bet that a 7 is rolled before number 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10.

By picking one of these numbers, and placing a chip in the field above the Point number area, the aim is to roll a 7 before the number picked. The payout varies depending on the likelihood of a 7 being rolled before the number you picked.

You can remove a Lay bet at any time.

Bet onBet againstPayout 74 or 101 to 2 75 or 9 2 to 3 76 or 8 5 to 6

Commission: All winning Lay bets are charged a 5% commission.

Note: If the point number or a 7 is rolled, the session ends. The next roll is a new come out roll, during which all lay bets are inactive.

Taking/Laying Line Bet odds

Can only be placed in conjunction with a line bet.

You can place a take or lay odds bet by making an additional bet behind your line bet after the come out roll has been rolled and a point number has been established.

Which bet you make depends on whether your initial bet was a pass line bet (take odds) or a don’t pass bet (lay odds).

You take/lay odds by adding chips behind your initial line bet on the layout.

How large a take/lay odds bet you can make is calculated by multiplying your line bet with a set factor.

A take odds bet wins if the point number is rolled before a 7; the lay odds bet wins if a 7 is rolled before the point number. Just like the initial line bets.

Taking odds roll point number before 7

Point number	Payout	Maximum bet
6 or 8	6 to 5	2 x Pass line bet
5 or 9	3 to 2	2 x Pass line bet
4 or 10	2 to 1	2 x Pass line bet

Laying odds - roll 7 before point number

Point number	Payout	Maximum bet
6 or 8	5 to 6	2.4 x Don't Pass line bet
5 or 9	2 to 3	3 x Don't Pass line bet
4 or 10	1 to 2	4 x Don't Pass line bet
