Can someone explain the "right" answer to the "right" amount of odds one can take on the DC?
My iphone game is different than about every other casino I have been to.
If the table is 5x odds, and I have a DC bet, the dice throws a 10. Can I place 50$? 26 or 30$ 100$. Interestingly, I have been able (or allowed or not allowed) to place each of those values on a 5x odds on a Don't Come 10.
This, coupled with the other question I posed about Lay vig where the amounts seem so varied, makes me think that a lot of craps dealers don't understand the DP/DC side very well.

Typically, it is the same as you could place on a Come line bet, but in the opposite direction. In your example, at a 5x odds table, if you were betting a $10 Come line bet and the dice hit a 10, you could place $50 in odds to win $100. The exact opposite is true with DC bets. You will be able to place $100 odds on a $10 DC bet to win $50, which comes out to the 5x odds that the table allows for.
Similarly, if on the DC with $10 and the dice hit a 5 or 9, you will be able to lay $75 as it will pay $50 for your $75 (2 to 3). For points of 6 or 8, you will be able to lay $60 in odds to pay $50 (5 to 6).
Hope this helps.

Do side: odds multiple refers to the maximum you can bet.
Don't side: odds multiple refers to the maximum you can win.
In either case you can't bet more than the maximum. If you have a $10 no 10 and want to lay odds to win the maximum 5x, you lay $100 to win $50. If the point were 8 you'd lay $60 instead. At a 3/4/5x table you can lay up to 6x regardless of the point.

Thanks! That makes sense.
