Come Bet Craps Calculator: Pass Line After the Point (2026)
Come Bet Craps Calculator: Your Personal Pass Line
The Come bet in craps works exactly like a pass line bet—but you can make it anytime after a point is established. It creates your own personal point and allows free odds. Our calculator reveals why Come bets with max odds offer the same 1.41% edge as pass line.
What Is a Come Bet?
A Come bet is functionally identical to a pass line bet, but made after the shooter establishes a point. Once you make a Come bet, the next roll becomes your "come-out" roll—7 or 11 wins, 2, 3, or 12 loses, and any other number becomes your personal come point.
Quick Answer: Come bet = pass line after point. Same rules: 7/11 wins, 2/3/12 loses on first roll. Other numbers become your point. Your point must hit before 7 to win. House edge: 1.41%. Can add free odds. Multiple come bets = multiple points. Stack to reduce edge.

How Come Bets Work
The Sequence
Making a Come bet:
1. Place chips in COME area
2. Next roll is YOUR come-out:
- 7 or 11 → WIN immediately
- 2, 3, or 12 → LOSE immediately
- 4,5,6,8,9,10 → Becomes your come point
3. If point established:
- Dealer moves your bet to that number
- Your point must hit before 7
- 7 first → Lose

5: 11.11%
4: 8.33%
Combined: 33.33%
More likely to win than 7
But 7 is catastrophic
Real-World Examples
Example 1: Come-Out Win
Immediate winner:
Bet: $10 Come
Point is 6 (already established)
Roll: 4-3 (Seven!)
Result: WIN $10 on Come
(But pass line loses)
7 is winner on come-out
Fresh come bet
Example 2: Come Point Established
Building a come point:
Bet: $10 Come
Roll: 4-4 (Eight!)
Result: 8 becomes your come point
Dealer moves bet to 8
Now need 8 before 7
Add odds behind it
Example 3: Come Point Wins
Hitting your point:
Come point: 8 ($10 + $10 odds)
Rolls: 5, 10, 4, 9...
Roll: 2-6 (Eight!)
Result: WIN
Come win: $10
Odds win: $12 (6:5)
Total: $22
1.41% edge on base
0% edge on odds
Example 4: Seven Out
Multiple loss:
Your bets:
Pass line $10 on 6
Come $10 on 8
Come $10 on 5
Roll: 4-3 (Seven!)
Result: LOSE ALL THREE
Total loss: $30
Risk of multi-point strategy
Strategy Considerations
Continuous Come
Some players do:
Fresh come bet every roll
Until three points working
Then stop and wait
Covers multiple numbers
But exposed to 7
High action strategy
Come + Pass Only
Conservative approach:
Pass line with odds
One come bet with odds
That's it
Lower variance
Two points maximum
Easier to manage
Odds Sizing
Maximize odds when possible:
$10 Come + $50 odds (5x)
Effective edge: 0.33%
Compare to:
$60 Come + $0 odds
Effective edge: 1.41%
More odds = better value
Common Mistakes
1. Forgetting Come Odds
Mistake: Come bet without odds Problem: 1.41% on entire bet Fix: Always add maximum odds
2. Too Many Come Bets
Mistake: 5+ come bets working Problem: 7 wipes out everything Fix: Limit to 2-3 come points
3. Confusion on 7
Mistake: Thinking 7 loses come-out Problem: 7 WINS on fresh come Fix: 7 only loses established points
4. Not Taking Odds Down
Mistake: Leaving odds after cold streak Problem: Odds are voluntary Fix: Can take down odds anytime
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Come the same as pass line?
Mathematically identical (1.41% edge). Only difference is timing—pass line before point, come after.
Does 7 win or lose on Come bet?
For a fresh Come bet, 7 wins. For an established come point, 7 loses.
Can I make Come bets on come-out?
Technically yes, but it's the same as pass line at that point. Usually wait until point is set.
Should I add odds to come bets?
Always. Odds have zero house edge, lowering your overall cost dramatically.
How many come bets should I make?
Most experts suggest 2-3 maximum. More than that creates too much 7-exposure.
What happens to come odds if shooter 7s out?
Odds are typically returned (not lost) since they can be removed anytime. Some casinos vary—ask first.
