Master Come Bets in online craps. Learn how bets move across the layout, True Odds payouts, and screen rules for Canadian players.
Last updated:If you play craps online in Canada and want more action than a basic Pass Line bet, look at Come Bets. They let you put extra contract money on the board mid-round, using the same true-odds math covered across our craps guides. A Come Bet works almost like a Pass Line wager, except you place it during the Intermediate Roll while the puck reads “ON” and a Point is already set.
Once you see how these chips travel across the screen, tracking your active money gets simple.
Key Takeaways: Come Bets in Online Craps
- Two-Step Bet Progression: Placed while the puck is ON, a Come bet wins immediately on a 7 or 11, loses on 2, 3, or 12, or travels into a box number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) to set a new target.
- Locked-In Contract Bet: Once moved into a specific number box, the base wager cannot be removed or turned off, paying out if that number repeats before a 7 rolls.
- Zero House Edge Odds: Stacking Come Odds behind your active box number pays True mathematical Odds (2:1 on 4/10, 3:2 on 5/9, 6:5 on 6/8) with 0% casino advantage.
- Screen Indicators: Automated features like ‘Off on Comeout’ protect your Odds chips during fresh opening rolls, while ‘Off and On’ seamlessly replaces repeating winners with your newly placed wagers.
How a Come Bet Moves Across the Table
A Come Bet plays out in two steps:
- The Come Box: Drop your chips right into the “COME” area on the screen. The next dice throw serves as a personal comeout roll for that wager. Roll a 7 or 11, and you get paid instantly at 1:1. Roll a 2, 3, or 12, and that money is gone on the spot.
- Moving to a Box Number: If the dice land on 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, the software shifts your chips out of the COME area and puts them straight into that specific number box. That number is now the target for your bet.
As soon as your chips land inside that box, you are locked in. You cannot take the wager down or turn it off. You win if that exact number rolls again before a 7, and you lose everything if a 7 shows up first.
Backing Come Bets with True Odds
A flat Come Bet is fine, but backing it with Odds is where the real value sits. Once your bet settles into a number box, you can stack extra Odds chips behind it. On most platforms, you just click your active bet inside the box.
These Odds pay at true mathematical rates with zero house edge:
- 4 and 10: Pay 2:1 on your Odds.
- 5 and 9: Pay 3:2 on your Odds.
- 6 and 8: Pay 6:5 on your Odds.
Screen Terms You Need to Know
Canadian online interfaces use a couple of standard alerts for these bets:
- Off on Comeout: When a round ends and the main table puck flips back to “OFF”, the software automatically deactivates the Odds part of your Come Bet for that roll. Your flat bet stays live.
- Off and On: Say you already have a Come Bet riding on the 8, and you put down a fresh Come Bet. If the next roll hits 8, the software pays out the win on your original bet and immediately drops the new one right into its place. You will see “Off and On” pop up in the roll log.
