How Do I Play A Don't Pass Bet In Craps?

A Don't Pass bet can only be placed on a Come Out Roll. You can determine whether the bet can be played as the puck needs to be off.

The winning numbers for a Don't Pass bet on a Come Out roll are the exact opposite to the Pass Line bet. This means that if a 7 or 11 are rolled by the shooter, the Don't Pass bet is lost. The bet is won if a 2 or 3 are thrown. An added feature is that if a 12 is rolled, the outcome is a push or draw, and you get your chip back.

If any other number is rolled, a point is established. The Don't Pass bet remains on the same area, whilst the puck is turned to on and moved above the point number established to mark it. The Don't Pass bet now requires the number seven to be thrown to win, and if the point number is thrown, the bet loses.

A bettor may remove their Don't Pass bet once the point is established. A pass Line bet can not be removed. This is because the likeliest outcome of dice rolled is a 7 total. This means that it is best to keep the Don't Pass bet on the table.
