The shooter’s come out roll shows a 3 and a 5, resulting in a total of 8. If a 7 is rolled, the passline bets lose. In the event that any other number is rolled (1, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10), that number becomes the “point number” and the shooter then hopes to roll that point number again for the win before he rolls a 7. If the shooter’s come out roll results in a 2, 3, or 12, referred to as “craps,” the passline bets are lost. For these other players to win these passline bets, the shooter’s come out roll must reveal a 7 or an 11 (these rolls are referred to at the Craps table as a “natural”) a natural automatically doubles the passline bet value(s) of the other players.
The player rolling the dice is referred to as “the shooter.” Prior to the shooter rolling his “come out roll” (first roll), the other players in the game are given the opportunity to make a passline bet on the shooter’s come out roll. This means that the amount you bet is the amount you stand to win.
