What is the Don’t Pass Strategy?
The don’t pass strategy is a betting system used in the game of craps. It is a contrarian strategy, meaning that it bets against the shooter, who is the player who rolls the dice. The don’t pass bet wins if the first roll of the dice is a 2, 3, or 12 (a “craps”). It loses if the first roll is a 7 or 11 (a “natural”). If the first roll is any other number, the don’t pass bet is “off” and the shooter continues to roll the dice until they either roll a 7 (which wins for the don’t pass bettor) or a 7 or 11 (which loses).
How to Use the Don’t Pass Strategy
To use the don’t pass strategy, you simply place a bet on the don’t pass line. The amount of your bet will be determined by the table minimum. Once you have placed your bet, the shooter will roll the dice. If the first roll is a 2, 3, or 12, you win your bet. If the first roll is a 7 or 11, you lose your bet. If the first roll is any other number, the don’t pass bet is “off” and the shooter continues to roll the dice.
