Bar 12 or 2 [Meaning] - MasterTerms.com

Bar 12 or 2

Bar 12 or 2 refers to a specific betting option in Craps that wins when the shooter rolls a 2 or 12, and loses if a 3 through 11 is rolled. This bet is made on the "Bar" section of the table layout, indicating that you are betting against the point of the shooter and effectively placing a wager that these specific numbers will be rolled before a point is established.

When you place a Bar 12 or 2 bet, you are essentially taking a proposition bet that specifically highlights the two extremes of the possible outcomes in a roll of the dice. If the shooter rolls a 2 or 12, your bet wins, and you receive a payout. Conversely, if any number between 3 and 11 is rolled, your bet loses. This type of bet is less common due to its high house edge and is often seen as a risky option for players who enjoy the thrill of chance.

Bar 12 or 2 Example

For example, if you place a Bar 12 or 2 bet of $10 and the shooter rolls a 12, you would win the bet and receive your initial wager back plus a payout, typically at odds of 30 to 1, meaning you would get $300 in winnings along with your original $10 stake. However, if the next roll results in a 4, your bet would lose, and you would forfeit the $10.
