$22 Split Craps System: Place and Don’t Come Risk

Sam Originally published Reviewed

Place 6/8 · Two Don’t Come entries · Box versus traveled risk

The $22 Split combines $6 Place bets on 6 and 8 with two planned $5 Don’t Come bets. The nominal total is $22, but the two DC entries occur on separate rolls and may win, lose, push, or travel before the intended four-position layout exists.

It is a staged mixed position, not a fixed $22 hedge

A new DC loses to 7 while the Place 6/8 bets also lose. Only after the DC travels does 7 become its winning result. Adding lay Odds behind 4/10 can push exposure far above the title amount.

Contributor sequence

  1. Wait for a Pass Line point.
  2. Place $6 on 6 and $6 on 8.
  3. Make one $5 Don’t Come bet.
  4. After that bet resolves or travels, make a second $5 DC if the total exposure remains acceptable.
  5. If 6 or 8 hits, collect $7 and remove both Place bets.
  6. Leave any traveled DC positions to resolve for the life of the hand.
  7. If a DC is behind 4 or 10, optionally lay a predetermined amount of Odds—not an undefined “full Odds” amount.

A traveled DC wins if 7 arrives before its number. But the roll used to place the second DC can also knock off the first traveled DC, win the Place 6/8, or resolve the Pass point. The positions cannot be evaluated as four static bets.

Rules needed before play

  • Is a DC that travels to 6 or 8 allowed alongside the Place bet?
  • Does one Place hit remove both 6 and 8 immediately?
  • What fixed Odds liability is allowed behind 4/10?
  • What happens if the Pass point resolves between DC entries?
  • Are traveled DC Odds working on the next come-out?

Reviewed by Sam: The original $22 split is worth preserving as a compact mixed-bet exercise, provided the reader sees that DC timing and lay Odds can make the real exposure much larger.
