Don’t Pass Wagers in Craps

March 14, 2008

Before a point is establish in craps, most players will typically have a pass line wager. You can also bet on the “wrong” bettor and place your wager on the don’t pass line, which may not be a popular bet since you are rooting against everyone at the table.

The don’t pass bet is an-even money wager that the shooter will either roll a seven before a point number repeats itself or crap-out on the come-out roll by rolling either a two or a three. Although a two, three, and 12 loses for the pass-line player on the come-out roll, a 12 is only a tie for the don’t pass bettors because otherwise there would be a slight advantage in the odds for the player over the house, and they can’t allow that. If the Bar 12 were absent from the table layout, the game would then favor the player by 1.414%.

In some casinos, instead of the 12 being a tie for don’t-pass bettor, the two is. You will find the rules for which number is barred displayed in the area of the crap table marked “Don’t Pass Bar” and “Don’t Come Bar.”
