Two other low-percentage bets are the Come
and Don't Come bets. These function in exactly the same way
and have exactly the same house edges as the Pass and Don't
Pass bets. The only difference is that they are made after
the point is established. Once the shooter has a point, you
can place a bet in the large Come area on the layout or on
the smaller Don't Come area in the upper left and right hand
corners of the layout. A 7 or 11 wins the Come bet at even
money, loses the Don't Come bet. A 2, 3 or 12, loses the Come
bet. While the 2 or 3 wins the Don't Come bet. Again the 12
is a push. However, should one of the point numbers be rolled
(i.e., 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10), that number now must be rolled
before the 7 for the Come bettor to win. Should the 7 appear
before the number, the Don't Come bettor wins. The Come-Don't
Come is merely a game within a game. As with the Pass and
Don't Pass, the Come and Don't Come players are also offered
the option of Free Odds.
The last of the low-percentage bets is the placing
of the six and/or eight, which can be done at any time. Here
you simply place a wager in multiples of $6.00. The casino
will pay off a winning bet at "casino odds" of $7.00
for every $6.00 wagered. The casino edge on this bet is 1.52
percent.

this is called laying the numbers, as in: "Lay the four!"

the number appears
