Understanding the Rules of Craps: Rolling a 7 vs. Rolling an 11
The Come-Out Roll
At the start of a round in craps, the first roll is called the come-out roll. If you roll an 11 (or a 7) during this roll, you win immediately. This is part of the basic rules of the game, where rolling a 7 or 11 on the come-out roll results in a win for the Pass Line bet.
After a Point is Established
Once a point number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10) is established, the objective changes. If you roll a 7 after this point has been set, you lose your bet. However, rolling an 11 does not affect the point; it is simply a non-winning roll and does not result in a loss or win. The goal then becomes to roll the point number again before rolling a 7.
Summary of Outcomes
To summarize, rolling an 11 on the come-out roll is a win, while rolling a 7 after a point is established results in a loss. Understanding these rules is crucial for enjoying the game and making informed bets.
