Craps: Establishing the Point

Video Transcript

"So, let's make sure we know how to establish a point. In the home game of craps what we're doing is it's a coming out roll, coming out roll. We're going to roll and we're going to try to get a four, a five, a six, an eight, a nine or a ten for a point number. So, there we are. There's five. So, I have established that my point is five. So I'm going to try to roll a five again before I get a seven. Alas, I did not and my turn is over. The next player will then do a coming out roll. There is a six. Six qualifies to be a point value. So, that player is going to try to repeat a six before he or she gets a seven. There's a nine, there's eleven and nothing happens, there's five, twelve which in this case means nothing because it's not a coming out roll. There's six, point acquired."
