start on pass line and point gets established, then 1 or 2 come bets (with no odds until they get up). If table odds are higher than 3-4-5 AND you take odds greater than 3-4-5 the math changes to be in favor of the come bet. If you were to place one of those numbers you have the option to turn the bet off whenever you like. However, with the come bet you do not have the option to ever turn off your flat. They pay the same whether you get them via come bet or place bet. In that case your $40 investment would net you $78! What does that pay? Well, $72 which is $2 more than the come bet! Even better if the house lets you buy the 4 with the vig only paid after the hit. What if you just placed the 4 for the same initial investment of $40.

If your come bet wins, what does it pay? Well $10 for the flat and $60 for the odds so $70 total. You put $10 on the come and 4 is the next number thrown.

Let’s say it’s a $10 table with 3-4-5 odds. If the table max is 3-4-5 or you don’t take MORE than 3-4-5 odds then a come bet is actually a bad deal. I’d love to keep it up and get that sweet, sweet true odds action” So you start to think to yourself “damn that sucks my come bet fell. Many people hear about the come bet and think it’s awesome because you get true odds. You would be much better off placing or buying a number instead of making the put bet. With a put bet you skip the step where the most common number wins. The whole point of the come bet is that if a 7 is rolled you win even money on your come bet. The benefit is if the 6 rolls you would get $10 for the flat and $60 for the $50 in odds. So you could hand the dealer, say $60 and say I want a $10 put on the 6 with $50 odds. This is where you skip the come bet but get the same result. If you threw $3 for a 3 way sevens hop it would pay $15. (If it were possible to throw a “hard 7” It would pay 30:1.) If a seven is thrown you lose any flat but your odds will be returned to you.Īny hop bet pays 15:1 for the easy way. It’s a contractual bet just like the pass line. During this roll the odds are off but your flat cannot be turned off. Once the shooter makes his point we are back “off” again. That is called the “flat.” You can then choose to place additional odds on top of the flat. When we have a point and you place a come bet, the come bet travels to the next number thrown.
