Over on the Wizard's forum a reader asks if the "odds" on "come bets" should be working during the come out roll?
In Vegas casinos (and to the best of my knowledge at all casinos) the "odds bets" are turned "off" during the come out roll because most players want a "winner 7" which would wipe out the "come bets." So, by turning off the "odds" the players with come bets would only lose the "flat bet" and not the "odds."
There was some discussion about this -- and the Wizard says to let the odds "work."
I always thought that the odds bets should be off because mathematically the 7 is always more likely to show on every roll and this includes the come out.
This also applies to place bets and hardways: you turn them off during the come out roll.
Does anyone have these bets working on the come out?
I know some players who have the hardways working during the come out, but they also bet a "big red" to "insure" the hardways should the 7 roll. Personally I don't do that.
