The difference is, if I only had the line bet, to get in on the number-repeating shooter, the point resolves favorably but now it is back to the Come-out and what number will it be? But if I have a Come bet up, the number just resolved favorably is also the next number to be resolved on the traveled number, and if he repeats the number I win again, and even this got repeated yet again, Come bet up again, on this night. But these shooters did what will make me the most money, they kept rolling the same number, and since I was Come betting, those were likely to be my numbers - and were. Still, I almost always observe some caution, and even if I have a good feeling I generally will only have 2 numbers to resolve with the same shooter, maybe 3 if I have been winning, rarely more. This time the dice came back around to some shooters I had a good hunch about, and I was on it, ready to make Come bets.

How can you kick yourself if you don't have a crystal ball? I have been OK with it. My evaluation on this has always been that a player just has this constant choice, either you have not much in action, and less risk, or more in action, and more risk. Even though I can see I missed out, I usually figure there's no point in trying to come in late. So what this would mean is a shooter with a point-to-be-made can unexpectedly start rolling a bunch of numbers before resolving his point, the big opportunity that slips away if I am sitting there with only the line bet. If I got a hunch* that a player was going to do well, I would only then start making Come bets. I have been a player recently that makes a line bet and then waits to see how the shooter impresses me. To always have at least one Come bet occurred to me on my last go 'round a couple of days ago.

But I also see plenty of people who never make Come bets. Many of you will say you've always made sure you have a Come bet, in fact I can name some names here who max out on Come bets always. If you press in some other way, you probably won't be convinced. I've convinced myself I should always make a Come bet - even if it is just the line bet and one Come bet. I suppose this thread will irritate some, on the other hand we need our Craps threads!

Why bet the come line in craps
