The Flat Come bet is a self-service bet, which means you make this bet yourself by placing your chips in the Come box directly in front of you. However, if the shooter rolls a 7, you lose both your Pass Line bet and your Come bet. If the shooter rolls another 10, you win your Come bet. So, now in this example, you have the 5 as your point for your Pass Line bet, and you have the 10 as your point for your Come bet.
The 10 becomes your point for your Flat Come bet. As soon as you put your chip in the Come box, the very next roll is considered the come-out roll for that specific Come bet. You decide to make a Come bet, so you put a $5 Flat Come bet in the Come box. Suppose several rolls go by without a 5 or 7 appearing. For example, suppose you bet the Pass Line at the beginning of a new game and the shooter rolls a 5 for the point (i.e., your Pass Line point is 5). The Come bet is different in that it’s like your own personal Pass Line bet that you play separately from everyone else. The Pass Line point applies to everyone at the table who makes a Flat Pass Line bet.
