====Don't Pass====
A Don't Pass bet is a bet for the shooter to lose ("seven out, line away") and is almost the opposite of the Pass line bet.<ref name=Scarne74/>{{rp|110–112}} Like the Pass bet, this bet must be at least the table minimum and at most the table maximum.
* If the come-out roll is 3, the bet wins.
* If the come-out roll is 7 or 11, the bet loses.
* If the game is being played under "Bar-12" or "Bar Sixes":
** If the come-out roll is 2, the bet wins.
** If the come-out roll is 12, the bet is a push (neither won nor lost).
* Alternatively, if the game instead is played under "Bar-2" or "Bar Aces":
** If the come-out roll is 2, the bet is a push.
** If the come-out roll is 12, the bet wins.
* If the roll is any other value, it establishes a point.
** If, with a point established, a 7 is rolled before the point is rolled again ("seven out"), the bet wins.
** If, with a point established, that point is rolled again before a 7, the bet loses.
The Don't Pass bet pays even money.

The Don't Pass bet is a no-contract bet. After a point is established, a player may take down or reduce a Don't Pass bet and any corresponding odds at any time because odds of rolling a 7 before the point is in the player's favor. Once taken down or reduced, however, the Don't Pass bet may not be restored or increased. Because the shooter must have a line bet the shooter generally may not reduce a Don't Pass bet below the table minimum. In [[Las Vegas]], a majority of casinos will allow the shooter to move the bet to the Pass line in lieu of taking it down; however, in other areas such as [[Pennsylvania]] and [[Atlantic City, New Jersey|Atlantic City]], this is not allowed. Even though players are allowed to remove the Don't Pass line bet after a point has been established, the bet cannot be turned "Off" without being removed.  Players choosing to remove the Don't Pass line bet can no longer lay odds behind the Don't Pass line. The player can, however, still make standard lay bets on any of the point numbers (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10).

The casino chooses either Bar-2 or Bar-12, but not both. The push on 12 or 2 is mathematically necessary to maintain the house edge over the player.<ref name=Scarne74/>{{rp|111}} Other casinos allow the player to choose to either push on 2 ("Bar Aces") or push on 12 ("Bar Sixes") depending on where it is placed on the layout. Some older bank crap games used Bar-3 ("Bar Ace-Deuce"), which increases the house edge.<ref name=Scarne74/>{{rp|112}}

There are two different ways to calculate the odds and house edge of this bet. The summary table gives the numbers considering that the game ends in a push when a 12 is rolled, rather than being undetermined. Betting on Don't Pass is often called "playing the dark side", and it is considered by some players to be in poor taste, or even taboo, because it goes directly against conventional play, winning when most of the players lose.
