Casino Royale does offer up to 100x odds with a $5 pass line bet and 20x odds with a $3 pass line bet. Most casinos in Vegas are 3, 4, 5 x odds (depends on the point: 4,10; 5, 9; 6,8) with $5 or $10 min. Even on a busy Thurs evening the Casino Royale still offered a $3 min bet, although all three tables were full and it was hard to find a spot. The 6 and 8 pay out 6:5 or $6 for every $5 wagered. 5 and 9 pay out 3:2. 4 and 10 pay out 2:1 odds. Note that these payouts are only for the odds bet. The original Pass/Come line bet will still be paid 1:1 if it wins. I will explain the bet using the image below. First I made a pass line bet and the shooter rolled a 4 on the come out roll.
The Pass Line Bet is the basic bet in craps. Most players make this wager, which occurs before the come-out roll. If you make the Pass Line Bet, you are betting on the dice shooter to win.
To win this wager, you'll need the shooter to roll a 7 or 11 on the come-out roll. If the shooter instead rolls a 2, 3, or 12, then you lose. That leaves the 4,5,6,8,9, and 10 as possible results. If one of these numbers is rolled, then other rolls are needed and the terms of the bet change.
Don't Pass Odds Payout
How Do You Establish a Point in Craps?
If you rolled a 4,5,6,8,9, or 10, then this number is called the 'point'. To win the bet, you'll need to roll that number a second time before rolling a 7. The odds of rolling a 7 are greater, because there are more winning combinations for that number.
I play at a casino that allows 100X odds. Is it better to try to maximize the pass line odds or make new come bets on every roll and back them up with odds? Beats a deuce in poker.
math says betting max odds before adding a come bet is better.
for me, I like action. I plan my bankroll for 6 come bets with whatever odds my bankroll dictates.
I start with 3 point Betty. then add come bets till it's continuous come if I'm hitting.
then increase odds if not maxxed. if maxxed, then increase flat bet + odds.
basically, whichever you're having the most fun with.
btw- where/which casino is this?

This is at Rivers Casino outside Chicago by Ohare airport. The minimum bets are a bit high $15-$25. So maximizing the odds is not really an option for my bankroll. So it sounds like backing up the Pass line with as much odds as you can afford is the best strategy, but placing come bets might be more fun.

'Technically' since the Don't Pass has a smaller house edge (1.36% vs Pass 1.41%) it's 'best' to do the Don't Pass with as much odds as you're comfortable with.. =). You don't always have to bet on 'red' on roulette, and you don't always have to play the Pass Line in craps. But in reality whichever side you want to play it's practically the same. I personally like to play a line bet + 2 more (either Come or DC) with odds, but craps is a game you can play 100 different negative ways =P.If everyone would just play the numbers and walk away after they hit 2 boxes.. the casinos would not be as profitable. but 99% of gamblers at the casinos have unrealistic expectations and can't / don't leave once they have a small profit. Everyone wants that 5000% return.. not happening consistently, frequently, nor realistically . Hit n run is the way to walk away a winner.
In contrast, Odds bets have a higher variance. Increasing the Odds portion of your total game will increase the total variance as well. At very high Odds multiples, the variance will be very high as well, despite the negligible house advantage of the combined bets.
There are very good theoretical reasons for playing simply Single Odds. You take a significant bite out of the overall casino advantage, dropping it from 1.41 percent to 0.86 percent. Your variance increases but not as drastically as at higher Odds multiples. Most importantly, at Single Odds your expected revenue profile for each of the possible numbers will closely reflect the probability distribution of those numbers. In short, the expected relative revenue contribution from the Naturals will be neither understated nor overstated.
At Single Odds, your expected exposure per Flat bet increases from one unit to 1.67 units, so keep your unit size small relative to your table stake. As a rule of thumb, you will be safe from variance risk if your Flat bets are one percent of your table stake. At three percent, you are pushing the envelope. At five percent, you had better be lucky quickly.
