Don't Come Bets

Pass Line Odds Bets
To make this bet you place your additional chips an inch or two behind your original Pass-Line bet, making sure that they are outside of the Pass Line betting area.

Don't Pass Odds Bets
To make this bet you place your additional chips immediately adjacent to your Don't Pass bet, or on top of your Don't Pass bet at a slight offset.

Come Bet Odds Bets
For this wager you drop your chips in front of the dealer and say “Odds on my Come Point”. The dealer will then place your chips on top of and slightly out of line with your Come bet.

Don't Come Odds Bets

Buy Bets

Big Six or Big Eight Bets
