Place bets have the odds built in and the difference in the math between the two is pretty slight. Once the bet is moved to a number, the house again has the advantage and you must take odds to minimize that. Because 7 is the most likely number to roll, when you make a come bet you have the advantage over the house. Place bets are also less work for the player - once your bets are up you can hang out and collect or press.Īll that said, for your money come bets are a smarter bet if you take advantage of the odds in addition to your flat bet. Place bets are paid the first time the number rolls, come bets must repeat the number to win. For place bets you choose your number(s), for come bets the dice choose your number(s). There are pros and cons to both, Dtrain explained a few.
