If the table is COLD, bet the Don't pass. If certain numbers are rolling more often than others, bet them. If the 7 is rolling a lot, lay the numbers that aren't rolling. Pass Line with full odds gives the house the lowest advantage over the player.

On the shooter's first roll, or come-out,  players wager by placing chips on either the Pass Line or the Don't Pass Line. If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11 on the first throw, Pass Line bets win. If a 2, 3, or 12 is thrown, Pass Line bets lose. Conversely, if the shooter throws a 2 or 3, Don't Pass wagers win.
