Default Re: My TJ story, rewritten

On the come out roll, the player (for that roll alone!) is an 8:4 favorite (8 ways to win, 4 to lose).

Now, the player is a big favorite (when betting the pass line) on the come out roll. This means that they MUST be a big dog on the following rolls (after the point is established).

So, if a player wants to bet on the pass line AFTER the come out roll, the house will GLADLY take their action. It's a fairly stupid (i.e. drunk) maneuver, but definitely allowed.

Next time you play blackjack and get dealt a blackjack, and the dealer shows a 6, ask the dealer/pitboss if you can take even money. I bet they let you.
