Bet placed before Come Out Roll

Win: when the Come Out Roll is 2 or 3
Lose: when the Come Out Roll is 7 or 11
Push/Tie: when the Come Out Roll is 12
Point: when the Come Out Roll is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. To win, you must roll a 7 before rolling the Point again; if the Point appears before rolling the 7, you lose.

A Don't Pass Bet is essentially the opposite of a Pass Line Bet, and is placed on the craps table in the "Don't Pass" bar before the Come Out Roll. When the Come Out Roll is 3 or 2, the Don't Pass Bet wins. When the Come Out Roll is 7 or 11, the Don't Pass Bet loses. When the Come Out Roll is 12, the bet is returned to the player in a push. When the Come Out Roll is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes the Point. Once the Point has been established, Don't Pass Bets win when you roll 7 before rolling the Point again. If you roll the Point before rolling 7, the Don't Pass Bets lose. A winning Don't Pass Bet pays even money (1 to 1).
