Key points

• Come and Don't Come are the post-come-out equivalents of Pass Line and Don't Pass, respectively.¹
• A Come bet wins if the next roll is 7 or 11; a Don't Come bet wins if it is 2 or 3, and pushes on 12.¹²
• Once a point is established, the Come bet wins if that number repeats before a 7; the Don't Come bet wins if a 7 appears before the point repeats.¹
