Supplemental Bets —
Supplemental bets (known
as Odds bets) are back-up
bets on existing Line bets
(i.e. Pass, Don't Pass, Come
or Don't Come). They are conditional
in that the Point (or Come
Point) must be established
(e.g. you can't place a Pass
Odds or Don't Pass Odds bet
during Come Out) and you must
already have a pending Line
bet in order to take up the
Odds for that Line. The maximum
Odds bet is 3x the existing
Line bet. As a backup bet,
an Odds bet wins only if its
corresponding Line bet wins
and it loses when its Line
bet loses. There is no house
edge with Odds bets, so they
pay true odds, as indicated
below.
Unlike the original Pass
and Come bets, all unresolved
Odds bets can be removed or
modified between rolls. Pass
Odds and Don't Pass Odds bets
are always resolved at the
end of a round, but Come Odds
and Don't Come Odds are only
resolved when the Come Point
or a 7 is rolled, so they
may persist through the end
of a round. Thus they are
active during a Come Out roll.
Pass Odds —
A Pass Odds bet can be placed
by clicking in the light
shaded area on the extreme
right of the Pass Line.
If you want to take Pass
Odds, you have to wait until
the Point is established
to place the bet. When no
Pass Line bet is pending,
clicking in this area will
be inactive and will generate
an error tone. Winning bet
pays 2-to-1 if the Point
is 4 or 10, pays 3-to-2
if the Point is 5 or 9 and
pays 6-to-5 for Points of
6 or 8.
Don't
Pass Odds — A Don't
Pass Odds bet can be placed
by clicking in the light shaded
area on the extreme left of
the horizontal Don't Pass
Bar. If you want to take Don't
Pass Odds, you have to wait
until the Point is established
to place the bet. When no
Don't Pass bet is pending,
clicking in this area will
be inactive and will generate
an error tone. Winning bet
pays 1-to-2 when the Point
is 4 or 10, 2:3 for Points
of 5 or 9, and 5-to-6 on Points
of 6 or 8. Remember that Don't
Pass bets (both Line and Odds),
win on a 7 and lose on the
Point.
Come
Odds — A Come Odds
bet can be placed by clicking
in the light shaded area above
the Come bet in the numbered
Come Point box. If you want
to take Come Odds, you have
to wait until the Come Point
is established to place the
bet. When no Come bet is pending,
clicking in this area will
be inactive and will generate
an error tone. Winning bet
pays 2-to-1 if the Come Point
is 4 or 10, pays 3-to-2 if
the Come Point is 5 or 9 and
pays 6-to-5 for Come Points
of 6 or 8.
Don't
Come Odds — A Don't
Come Odds bet can be placed
by clicking in the light shaded
portion of the top box above
the Come Point number. If
you want to take Don't Come
Odds, you have to wait until
the Come Point is established
to place the bet. When no
Don't Come bet is pending,
clicking in this area will
be inactive and will generate
an error tone. Winning bet
pays 1-to-2 when the Come
Point is 4 or 10, 2-to-3 for
Come Points of 5 or 9, and
5-to-6 on Come Points of 6
or 8. Remember that Don't
Come bets (both Line and Odds),
win on a 7 and lose on the
Come Point.
Please note the difference
between the payouts on Pass/Come
Odds and Don't Pass/Don't
Come Odds. When the Point
is 5, a winning $12 Pass Odds
bet will pay 3-to-2, and the
player will get back $30 ($18
win + $12 bet). However, a
winning $12 Don't Pass bet
pays 2-to-3 when the Point
is 5, so the payout is only
$20 ($8 win + $12 bet).
