Pass Line
The Pass Line is the bet most players start with and the one the whole game is built around. You win on a come-out 7 or 11, lose on 2, 3, or 12, and otherwise the roll sets a point you need to repeat before a 7 shows. It carries one of the lowest house edges in the casino.
1.41% edge, one of the best bets on the table.

Also called: pass, front line, win bet.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Pass Line a good bet?
Yes. At a 1.41% house edge it is among the cheapest bets in any casino, and you can lower your effective cost further by backing it with a free odds bet after the point is set.
What happens on the come-out roll?
A 7 or 11 wins even money right away, a 2, 3, or 12 loses, and any other number becomes the point. Once a point is set you win if that number rolls again before a 7.
Can I take my Pass Line bet down?
No. Once a point is established the Pass Line bet is a contract bet and must stay until it wins or loses. You can still add or remove odds behind it, though.
