Players can bet any point number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) by placing their wager in the come area and telling the dealer how much and on what number(s), "30 on the 6", "5 on the 5", or "25 on the 10".  These are typically "Place Bets to Win".  These are bets that the number bet on will be rolled before a 7 is rolled, similar to the Pass odds bets.<ref name=Scarne74/>{{rp|115}} These bets are considered working bets, and will continue to be paid out each time a shooter rolls the number bet. On a come-out roll, a place bet is considered to be not in effect unless the player who made it specifies otherwise. This bet may be removed or reduced at any time until it loses;<ref name=Scarne74/>{{rp|116}} in the latter case, the player must abide by any table minimums.

Place bets to win pay out at slightly worse than the true odds: 9-to-5 on points 4 or 10, 7-to-5 on points 5 or 9, and 7-to-6 on points 6 or 8.<ref name=Scarne74/>{{rp|116}} The place bets on the outside numbers (4,5,9,10) should be made in units of $5, (on a $5 minimum table), in order to receive the correct exact payout of $5 paying $7 or $5 paying $9. The place bets on the 6 & 8 should be made in units of $6, (on a $5 minimum table), in order to receive the correct exact payout of $6 paying $7.  For the 4 and 10, it is to the player's advantage to 'buy' the bet (see below).

An alternative form, rarely offered by casinos, is the "place bet to lose."<ref name=Scarne74/>{{rp|117}} This bet is the opposite of the place bet to win and pays off if a 7 is rolled before the specific point number. The place bet to lose typically carries a lower house edge than a place bet to win.  Payouts are 4-to-5 on points 6 or 8, 5-to-8 on 5 or 9, and 5-to-11 on 4 or 10.<ref name=Scarne74/>{{rp|117}}
