Come Bet (Craps)
A bet placed after the point is established that works like a new Pass Line bet.
A Come bet works identically to the Pass Line, except it's placed after a point has already been established. The next roll becomes the Come bet's own "come-out roll" — it wins on 7 or 11, loses on 2, 3, or 12, and any other number becomes its point.
Come bets allow you to have multiple numbers working at once, each with its own point. Like the Pass Line, Come bets have a 1.41% house edge and can be backed with Odds for an even lower effective edge.
Advanced craps strategies often involve multiple Come bets with maximum Odds, giving you several numbers working with minimal house edge. This creates more action while keeping the math in your favor.
