The machine will not allow the player to place a pass and don't pass bet at the same time (on factory default settings at least). The player must choose one or the other. So play two stations to accomplish this, or, if the casino restricts this, then "bring a friend". If no friends are available (and the casino restricts you to one station) there are other hedges such as making a buy bet and lay bet on the same number (lay bet at about twice the value of the buy bet if the hedge is done on the 4 or the 10, etc.). Obviously because of the vig these are imperfect hedges but on big point multiplier days (and/or with a high enough players' card level) the vig can be overcome. Also, if you are the only shooter at the station, you will have to place a minimum bet on the don't or pass line to hedge using a buy/lay bet or the machine won't allow you to roll the dice.

If yes, then can a player fully hedge the e-craps games by betting both lines simultaneously?
How can the casino hold be achieved under those circumstances?
