Better to double no pass at full odds or keep single and add another number by adding don't come

Adding full odds to another number by using don't come. Example 10 on no pass 5x. I want to increse my bet. Go to 20 with full 5x odds. Or should I keep it at 10 with full odds and add don't come with full odds after the point is declared?

are you asking, which is better:


A. $10 on don't pass with full odds, and then once point is established, $10 on don't come with full odds,

or

B. $20 on don't pass with full odds from the beginning?

It's very close, but A is better because you will be making the second $10 bet less often due to losing or winning on the come-out roll.

It's unclear, but I think it's possible he's actually asking about adding $10 to his DP bet and then increasing the odds. This is not allowed as once the point is established, the DP bet is a favorite to win - adding to it is "capping" and the casino won't allow you to do it.

If you are asking what sodawater inferred, he is correct, it's very close.

You understood and answered my question. Thanks.

You get a bit more variance with the $20 DP, 5X odds. OTOH, you will bet less the other way, because you only get to make a DC bet 2/3 of the time; this reduces your expected loss a bit.
