Is taking more odds worth it...in the long run?

His point is also once his dont pass or dont come bet clears and is
placed, he has an advantage on that flat bet, and still paid 100% of
that bet when he wins. If he happens to lose it he only has to win once
to get even.

Serious don't bettors seem to increase their bets and never go back to a "reasonable" amount. For example, a typical $10.usd passline bettor will generally speaking play the don't for $25.usd. A green chip passline player will generally play black on the don't. There is something to this. I think it has ramifications beyond the odds. Other players generally don't mess with a black chip player as in taunt him or show glee when/if he loses.

I'm taking about the free odds bet, nothing more.

So was I. Same point. It just hurts a lot to lose double what you would have won. Laying two to one odds is not for the weak or squeamish or cowardly.
