There is another type of betting at craps aside from the pass and the don't pass, and the come and the don't come. These are called place bets. You get to tell the dealer, I want to bet on the 4, 5, 6, 9 or 1. These place bets are given to the dealer and he will place them directly on the number. Now, if that place bet number hits before a 7 is rolled you win your bet. If the 7 hits before the place bet number is rolled you lose the bet.
