Phrase used to describe the hope of the crapshooter (dice thrower) when all pass and the shooter can throw again. "Craps, which is a 2,3 or 12 (and a loser), pass which is 7 or 11 (and a winner) or a "point" number 4,5,6,8,9,10. When the shooter throws a 2,3 or 12, everyone on the pass line loses, but the shooter may "keep" the dice or continue to roll.
