What is betting on the come?

Betting on the come is a popular betting strategy in craps, a casino game. This strategy involves placing bets on the next roll of the dice after a point has been established. The term ‘come’ refers to the outcome of the roll that comes after the point has been set.

To bet on the come, a player places their bet on the ‘come’ section of the craps table. If the shooter rolls a 7 or an 11 on the next roll, the player wins an even-money payout. If a 2, 3, or 12 is rolled, the player loses their bet.

If any other number is rolled, that becomes the ‘come point’. The player’s bet then moves to the corresponding box on the table. The shooter continues to roll the dice until either the come point or a 7 is rolled. If the come point is rolled, the player wins the bet at the same odds as a pass line bet. If a 7 is rolled before the come point, the player loses their bet.

Betting on the come can be a fun and exciting way to play craps, but it does carry some risk as the player is essentially making a bet on an unknown outcome. It is important to understand the odds and payouts of the bet before placing a wager.
