Various bets you can make are:

Pass Line Bet: you win if the first roll is a usual (7, 11) and lose if it is craps (2, 3, and 12). If a point is rolled (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10) it should be repeated before 7 are thrown in order to win. If 7 are rolled before the point you lose.

Odds on Pass Line Bet: after a point is rolled you can create this further bet by taking odds. There are different payoffs for every point. A point of 4 or 10 will pay you 2:1 or 5 or 9 pays you 3:2, and 6 or 8 pays 6:5. You only win if the point is rolled again before 7.

Come Bet: Come Bet has the same rule as the Pass Line Bet. The only difference is that you can make this bet after the point bet has been decided. After you put your bet the first di9ce roll will set the come point. If it is a natural (7, 11) then you will win and lose if it is a craps (2, 3, 12).
