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).
