What is the don't come bet?
The don't come bet is a wager in craps that the dice will not land on a specific number to win, and has a higher house edge than the pass line bet.
In craps, the don't come bet is a wager that the dice will not land on a specific number to win. This bet is the opposite of the come bet and is often considered a "dark side" wager because it carries a higher house edge.
The don't come bet can be made at any time after the come out roll. To make this bet, the player simply places their chips in the "don't come" area of the craps table. The bet is then resolved on the next roll of the dice.
If the dice land on a 7 or 11, the don't come bet loses. If the dice land on a 2 or 3, the don't come bet wins. If the dice land on a 12, the bet is a push (the player neither wins nor loses).
If any other number is rolled, that number becomes the "point" and the player must roll that number again before a 7 is rolled in order to win the bet. If a 7 is rolled before the point is rolled again, the bet loses.
The don't come bet has a slightly higher house edge than the pass line bet (1.41% vs. 1.36%), but it still gives the player a decent chance to win. This bet is often used by experienced players who are trying to minimize their losses or take advantage of a hot streak.
