Do's and Don'ts of the Pass line Bet When betting right (Do, DEWEY or With the Shooter), the player makes a bet before the first roll of the dice (Coming Out) that the shooter will either roll a 7 or 11, or roll any number but a 2, 3, or 12. If he rolls a number, called the Point, he must roll that number again before he rolls a 7. Pass Line Bet in Craps The pass line bet is the most common wager used in the game of craps. This is considered a line bet because there is a large line area on the table layout where you can place your chips. The bet itself is simple, you are essentially wagering that the shooter will roll a 7 or 11 on the come out roll to win. The Pass Line bet is one of the most commonly placed bets when playing craps and it is a safe bet to make. This bet will offer even money payouts, which is why it is considered to be one of the best Craps bets offered and why it is preferred by beginner players.
