.. Heres one Im trying to think out...
If no betting system can give you an advantage- and I believe this to be true- that no matter how you attempt 'money managment' it will not cut the house edge.
then how come a high odds bet offer in craps allows a lower house edge? Its basicly saying betting more will decrease the house advantage.. So how does this work?
I know other situations things like commision decrease player advantage by decreasing earnings.. but it dont seem to me in crapps the fact I bet 100X odds vs 5X odds makes the 4 come again any faster or easier.

I repeat my mantra, you can decrease the HE but not the EV. All else is confusion.

The odds bet has no house edge. The simple answer to your question... Once you have bet $10 on the pass line you expect to lose 14 cents. The 2/3 of a time you set a point you now are given the option of making a really big bet at fair value. So if you want to think that you have bet $1010 on the initial roll and still will only lose on average 14 cents, then you can 'feel' like you are almost playing an even game. The house edge on the passline never changes, however. The variance is very high if you take 100x odds, so you have a much better chance of hitting a win goal than just playing the pass line. Conversely, you can also reach a loss limit far more quickly, too.
