Just sailed from Oct. 2 through 13 on the Celebrity Summit.

 

Celebrity recently changed fleet-wide their craps odds from 2x odds at table min ($10) to 2x odds at $25 PL/DP (Come/DC) bet level.

 

3-4-5 times odds only offered at $50 PL/DP (Come/DC) bet level.

Seems like they're encouraging some players to bet $60 PL, $60 DP (and $1 or $2 midnight bet on the come out if they want to hedge against the 12 being rolled) for the privilege of betting 3x/4x/5x odds. It's an easy calculation for PL w/full odds payouts if the odds are 3x/4x/5x (7x PL bet). Besides, it's better (in theory) for the players than 2x odds, which is the craps equivalent of a 1366 x 768 laptop display.

 

Note: I'm aware $50 PL/DP was the minimum required for 3x/4x/5x odds per the OP's post. However, $60 PL & DP bets work 'perfectly' with a $2 12 on the come out roll and allows for more odds. So the cost for the opportunity to bet max odds is $2 per come out roll in this scenario. Obviously, a come out roll sequence of 7 7 11 7 2 3 7 2 11 3 7 7 2 10 would not be ideal for this type of hedging, but that's not going to happen too often, right? I know, hedging is theoretically worse, but losing a single unhedged $60PL bet if the 12 rolled would have paid for that $2 12 bet on the come out 30x. BTW, if you're thinking about laying odds on a DP bet, take your chips and go play roulette.  😏
