If the shooter rolls 2, 3 or 12, you win $7 on any craps and lose $5 on pass for a $2 profit. If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11, you win $5 on pass and lose $1 on any craps, for a $4 profit.

Any other number becomes the point, and to win, the shooter must roll it again before a 7. On the comeout roll, it wins if the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 and loses if the shooter rolls 2, 3 or 12. In the lingo of the game, 2, 3 and 12 are the numbers called “craps.” “Any craps” is a one-roll bet that the shooter will roll a 2, 3 or 12, and it pays at 7-1 odds. Here’s how a couple of basic hedge bets work: HEDGE THE PASS LINE WITH ANY CRAPS If pass line bets lose on the comeout when 2, 3 or 12 are rolled, why not also make a small wager on any craps?
