So I am coding a game of craps which requires me to roll two dice and return the sum of the dice. Rolling a 7 or 11 wins you the game, rolling a 2, 3, or 12 however will lose you the game.

The very next roll is considered the come-out roll for your Come bet. Suppose the shooter rolls an 11. An 11 means nothing to everyone else at the table, but the 11 means you win $5 for your Come bet because, as with a Pass Line bet, a 7 or 11 wins on the come-out. You may not like this answer, but we still think the best roll in craps are those that provide you with the best odds of winning, even if they don’t pay out much. Below we explore this idea by first looking at the craps bets with the lowest house edges and then looking at why sticking at these bets is a good idea. The subject of controlled throws on casino Craps tables is a hot topic. It's sometimes called rhythm rolling and dice setting because players are said to develop a rhythm of holding and throwing the dice in a set way.
