Online Craps Glossary

Come-Out Roll: The first toss of the dice that initiates the first round.

Point: When you don’t win or lose on the come-out roll, the number that gets tossed is a point.

Contract Bets: Bets that cannot be cleared from the game table once the round starts. These are the Pass Line bets, Come Bets and Don’t Come Bets.

Pass Line Bets: Your bet on the numbers 7 or 11 in the come-out roll, or a bet that a point will precede a 7.

Pass Odds: Placed in the second round as a multiple on the Pass Line Bet on the surmise that a Point is rolled before a 7. It follows the same payout rules as the pass line bets.

Don’t Pass Bet: Your bet is on either 2 or 3 being rolled on the come-out roll; or on 7 being rolled before the Point.

Don’t Pass Odds: An additional bet on the 7 preceding the Point, made after the Don’t Pass Bet has been made. The bet is a multiple on the Don’t Pass Bet, and the payouts are the same.

Come Bet: This is placed after the Point has been established, and before the next round of the game. The roll following the Come Bet becomes the come-out roll for your bet, permitting several rounds of the game to be played at the same time.

Come Odds: Another additional bet placed on the ‘Come Odds’ zone of the craps table after the Come Bet has been placed on the Point occurring before 7. Is a multiple on the Come Line Bet, offering the same ratio of payouts as the Come Bet.

Don’t Come Bet: A bet that plays another round of craps, after the Point is established. The first toss on this bet is the come-out roll for this game.

Don’t Come Odds: An additional bet on the Don’t Come Bet, placed as a multiple of the Don’t Come. It is a bet that 7 will roll before the Point.

Place Bet: The number that you select and bet that it will roll before 7. The numbers are: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10

Place Lose Bet: You bet that 7 will roll before the Point number you selected.

Buy Bet: A bet on the bar below the Place Bet zone on any of the numbers, expecting the number to roll before 7.

Field Bet: A bet placed on any number in the Field zone

Lay Bet: A bet on the uppermost bar above the number box, that a 7 will role before the Point number selected.

Proposition Bet: Your bet on the first roll being either 7, Any Craps, Hard 4, Hard 6, Hard 8, Hard 10, Carps 2, Craps 3, Craps 12, or 11

Any Craps: A bet that the following roll would be 2, 3 or 12

Hard Way Bets: These are the Hard 4, Hard 6, Hard 8 and Hard 10. This means that both dice will roll the same number to give a total of 4 (2, 2), 6 (3, 30, and so on

Any Craps Bet: Your bet that the next roll would be 2, 3 or 12 (the Craps)

Yo Eleven bet: Your bet on the number 11

Big 6 Bet: By selecting the Big 6 zone, you bet that 6 will roll before 7

Big 8 Bet: By selecting the Big 8 zone, you bet that 8 will roll before 7
