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).

How to Sell a Bible
Three little boys were looking for a summer job. Their
preacher needed some people to go around and sell bibles. So
the preacher hired two boys without even thinking twice. But
he was hesitant about hiring the third boy because he suffered
from a speech impediment.
So after the first days of work they all met back at the
church. The preacher looked at the first boy and asked him, "How
many bibles did you sell?"
The boy stood up and said, "35."
"Is that all you sold?" the preacher asked.
"He looked at the secound boy and asked him the same thing.
The boy said, "75." "That is good," the preacher replied.
He didn't want to ask the third boy but did. The boy with the
speech impedement said ''I-I-I s-s-sold 175.'' The preacher
was amazed and asked the boy how did he sell all of the bibles.
He said ''I-I-I t-t-told them to b-b-buy t-t-them or I will
r-r-read it to t-t-them''
