Come Bet Strategy

Posted on by

The strategy involves only betting on ‘even chance’ or 1:1 wagers. For every win, one coin is added to the total bet for the next spin. For every loss, one coin is taken away. The player should always leave the odds on regardless of how many come bets are active. When considering the options, looking at the probability of winning alone is not enough. Yes, with one come bet the odds of losing the come bet are greater than winning, however the potential win is. Is it any other number, then this becomes your “come-point”. Their “come-point” is reached before a 7 you win. So a 9 is rolled, the stickman pushes your “Come” bet on the field at the 9th Now if the shooter rolls a 9 before a 7, you win, but will achieve a 7 before 9, you lose. Remember that when you “Come” bets also have the opportunity to share as a “pass” bet, a profit opportunity to use after your come-point was. The shooter will have rolled a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 and established a point. Once this has happened, you can place a come bet. When you have wagered, the shooter will keep rolling. You will lose if a 2, 3 or 12 is rolled and win if a 7 or 11 is rolled. Any come bet is almost like an individual pass line bet on every roll.

This bet is very similar to the don't pass bet. It also has great odds and is one of the most popular bets in the game. First, this bet starts by having the shooter make a come out roll. Once a point is established, players will have access to this bet and can place chips on the don't come bar on the table layout.

The rules are exactly the same as the don't pass line. The player wins if the shooter throws a 2, 3 or 12 and losses when the dice lands on 7 or 11. If the shooter throws a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, the chips will move from the come line to whichever number was thrown, almost like a 'secondary point' number. If this happens, the goal is to have the shooter throw a 7 before the point number.

The round ends for the don't pass bet when the point is thrown, but on the don't come bet, your chips will still remain in play even after the round has ended. Also, you can keep placing don't come wagers and can have multiple 'point' numbers on the board at one time. If the shooter rolls a seven, you will win every single don't come bet on all numbers, all at once. You will lose only one wager if the shooter rolls that number before a seven.

The odds are the same as the don't pass bet. Players are paid 1:1 odds and the actual rolling odds are 976:949, which makes an extremely low house edge of 1.36%. This is one of the best bets in the house. I displayed an image of the bet below so you can see where the chips are placed. First I waited for the come out roll to establish a point, which is the number ten indicated by the 'ON' puck on that number. Then I was able to place don't come bet of $88. I would win if the shooter rolls a 2, 3 or 12 and lose on a 7 or 11. If another point number appears, my chips will move to that number and I would have to roll a 7 to win.

Also, players can place don't come free odds bets in multiples of the original don't come wager amounts. This bet can be used after a point has been established and it has zero house edge and pays true odds, making it one of the best bets in any game at the casino! It is also the same as the don't pass odds bet.
