Buying the true odds on the Wizard of Odds free craps game

If I want to buy the odds on say the 4 or the 10 with a $25 amount and need to pay the $1 juice, how do I do this? I always end up getting payouts with some weird amount of change, instead of getting exactly double. I've tried stacking the 1 on top of the 25 on the buy or leaving the 25 on the lay bet and putting the 1 on the buy line. Neither seems to get the desired result.

Hover your mouse over the "Rules" (upper left corner of the table) and you see that buying the 4 or 10 pays 39:21. On the surface this looks like you are paying the vig both when you bet and when you win, but if you buy for 21, then you win 39; total bet on the table = 21, total returned = 60 because the bet comes down. This is the same as paying the vig up front (which goes straight to the chip stack on a real table) and getting paid 2:1 and taking down the bet.

Cool deal. Also since the game is the topic at the moment, is there any way to move/drag a place bet that became a point after the come out? Usually I just memorize what is there, clear the bet and place them back where they were, moving the place bet somewhere else. If there's an easier method I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks for the assist, seattledice.

Sorry, you can't drag bets on the game. Not enough money in the budget for that feature.

As long as we're talking about it, how about getting rid of the "and down" aspect of wins?

I mean, I love that it pays fractionally when making bets that aren't standard, but really. Leave the bets up just like in a casino.


On a side note, I recently got my bankroll up over $40K. Not bad for starting with $1K and having a $1K max bet! I did it with nothing but place bets and a regression system. FYI: I often bust with the same system.

DJTB: Based on your intense pro-postings regarding the 1.41% HA PL, I would have thought your main focus at the table was the PL/FO bets. Why such disregard when playing for real?

No prob. The game is a lot of fun and has been the single most helpful tool, after the explanations of all the bets and different ways to play on the WOO site, in getting me ready to have a good time at the Casino. This is equally so with the Blackjack game. Two thumbs up.

What are you talking about, and how does it apply to the discussion of the Craps game on the Wiz' main site?
