House edges for craps w/ full odds:
5X odds 0.326%
10X odds 0.184%
20X odds 0.099%
100X odds 0.021%

True, but if you make a $100 pass line bet and the edge on that bet is $1, then using your example and plugging real numbers in:

House edges for craps w/ full odds:
5X odds $1
10X odds $1
20X odds $1
100X odds $1

Which is why some of us say the house edge isn't changed by laying odds. Expressed as a percentage, it does...but even a 100000x odds, the house still has an expectation of $1.
