What is the Pass Line bet in craps?
The Pass Line bet is the fundamental craps wager. It wins if the come-out roll is 7 or 11, loses on 2, 3, or 12, and establishes a point if any other number is rolled. Once a point is set, the bet wins if the point repeats before a 7 rolls.
Pass Line house edge
The Pass Line bet has a house edge of 1.41%. That’s the combined result of the come-out roll outcomes and the probability of the point repeating versus a 7 appearing. It’s one of the best bets in a casino compared to many other table game options.
Don’t Remove It Mid-Game
Once a point is established, you can’t take down a Pass Line bet. The bet is locked in until the round ends. This is actually in your favor — the probabilities shift once a point is set, and statistically you’d be giving up edge by taking down a bet that was placed under the initial favorable come-out conditions. By contrast, Place bets and Come bets can be removed at any time.
