 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).
