The DON'T bets are not contract bets and may be reduced or taken down. The reason is simple: once a point is established, the probability is in the player's favor. For ecample, when the point is 4 or 10, it is 2-1 that YOU will win your don't bet. The house will be overjoyed if you take it down!

 

terbear_4u: You are considering only the amount of the payoff. You also need to take into account how often the payoff will occur. What is missing from your method is the result of the comeout roll: don't players are at a big disadvantage - seven or eleven will occur on the average eight times in 36 comeouts. The bet will be gone before a point is even established. Taking this into account results in the usual published house advantage.

Thanks Andy. I stand corrected RE: taking down a don't bet. I never play on the dark side so it never dawned on me but of course the house would let a player do that.TERBEAR Look at it this way.If you play the don't pass or come you are just trading places with the house.

I have been following this thread and I have a question for YO Eleven and the Don't Pass and Don't Come Players:

 

Why not drop the odds part of the don't bets and just increase the flat bet from the start and leave a flat bet only?

 

Wouldn't There be less $$$ risk to make the same $$$ when you win?

 

ie.....$10 DP flat bet /w$20 odds = $20 win with a total risk of $30

 

The alternitive bet could be as follows:

 

ie....$20 flat bet /w no odds = $20 win with a total risk of just $20 instead of a $30 risk

 

Why add the odds part of the don't bets at all , when you could win the same amount with less risk by just increasing your flat bet at the start?

 

And If you didn't like the point number you could always withdraw your flat bet, If you were scared of a point of 6 or 8 when playing the don'ts.

The Odds bet is called the odds bet because it pays at even odds. Meaning the house has NO! advantage.This makes it the best bet you can make in a casino. It makes no difference whether it's pass or don't pass. Also once a point is established on your pass,don't pass,come,don't come bet you cannot take it down. This is called a contract bet with the house.

Remember in the old cartoons how the class genius always wore a cap with a propeller on top.

I know allot of you propeller heads don't believe in betting systems but I have come up with one that works every time. If I am playing roulette and I think red is going to come on the next spin then I will place a bet on red. If it hits red then I win (yeah!). If it hits black I loose (waa!) I continue this pattern until all of my money is gone. If you are willing to play as long as it takes this system works every time.
