Hypothetical single roll of the dice scenario:
• The point has just been established with come out roll.
•There will be one roll of the dice (as shooter or not).
• You can make any number of bets in any amount (within standard max limits).
• After the single roll, all bet(s) still standing will be removed (unless locked in).

What bet(s) do you make for that one roll?

Max odds on my PL or DP bet, whichever way I was betting on the come out.

Field bet, PB 5, 6, 8, and hop the 7's. Amounts? Haven't gotten that far.

It seems like you are trying to arbitrage this hypothetical by covering every number, but that’s not possible.

What number is the point?

Ecoaster, Please use any “IF such and such...” caveat to your answer. I’m trying to hear about the bets that people are most confident in. Of course the simple answer is the bet with the “lowest house edge”. I’m hoping the “single roll” scenario will result in a variety of answers.

Hop the seven’s of course!

Assuming I understand the question, I’d make another come bet. 8 ways to win, 4 ways to lose, 24 ways to push for a 11.1% advantage.

As I understand it, all unresolved bets are returned after the one roll.

hard to understand what the OP is after.

almost sounds like the last roll in a Craps Tournament

I have played a few in Vegas that are just 30 rolls in length
and that 30th roll betting can get wild!

OP says bets removed “unless locked in.” I took that to mean that the cone bet would stay live until resolved. Since you can’t turn it off. A DC bet would be removed after the single roll, however, making that a worse bet than usual.

When the riverboats 1st opened in the Chicago area they closed down between 5 A.M. and 8 A.M. for cleaning I think. Nearing 5:00 they would announce 3 more rolls, 2 more rolls etc. The enterprising players would pound the come on the last roll. This lasted about a week. The new procedure was to call last shooter well before 5:00 and live with the game being closed before the casino was.
