Come Balance Craps System

A winning craps player is always looking for something that would afford the opportunity to maximize an edge during a good run. There are systems that are constructed to do just that. One of them is called the "Come Balance" system. It is based on sending Come bets and Pass Line bets into play at the same time during a given sequence.

Pass Line bets, as you are probably aware, are bets that win when a 7 or 11 is rolled on the come-out roll, and lose when the come-out roll produces a 2, 3 or 12. After the point is established, the point must be repeated before a seven rolls for the Pass Line bet to win. A Come bet is similar, in that it also wins when a 7 or 11 results from the come-out roll, and loses when the come-out roll brings a 2, 3 or 12. The difference is that the Come bet is placed after the point is established. Sometimes the Pass Line and Come bets can cancel each other out. That would be the case if, say, you have a $5 Pass Line bet out there, and the point is a 5, then place a Come bet, and win shortly after that when a seven is rolled. You would win your Come bet, and lose the Pass Line bet.

The Come Balance system is intended to take advantage of these situations.

What you are doing is putting Come and Pass Line bets out there simultaneously on the next come-out, so that you are "balanced." In the process, you are guarding yourself against getting beaten (money-wise) on a 7-out roll. When numbers start to repeat, you will start to win.

It is critical that you balance Come bets with other bets. You will start with the Pass Line bet, and after the point is established, you place a Come bet for the same amount. So if the first wager is a Pass Line bet for $10, then you will make a $10 Come bet. The third bet will be a $20 Come bet. Then it is $40 on the next bet, and once again, you are looking for numbers to repeat.

Whatever the amount of money you have out on the table, that will be the amount of the next bet, and it will be a Come bet. It is advisable not to go off and make other bets, although there are certain exceptions you may consider utilizing.

It is important to remember that you could lose with the 2, 3 or 12. If you're looking to cover yourself, you can make a three-way craps bet, which pays 15-to-1 on the three (3) and 30-to-1 on the two (2) or twelve (12). However, the hazard is that you have to keep making these bets on every roll.

In conclusion, the objective you are trying to accomplish here is to, in effect, neutralize the seven, by "balancing'" the real effect of that seven (7) rolling. What you're banking on is getting repeat numbers. If that happens, you might be in pretty good shape in the end.
