Hockey Question 4
Beginner's Craps - When the marker puck (shaped like an over-size hockey puck) has the white side up and is positioned on a number on the felt, that number is the current "point".
The correct answer is 'True'
Once the point is established, the objective then is for the shooter to roll that point number again before he rolls a 7. If he does, your pass line bet wins (2 to 1). If he rolls a 7 first, you lose. Once the point is established, ANY number rolled except 7 or the point is immaterial to the outcome of your pass line bet (other bets are affected, however). When either the point or a 7 is rolled that series ends, the black side of the marker puck is turned up and the next series begins.
