WHAT IS 3-4-5x ODDS?

3X, 4X and 5X Odds is the common posted table odds on most Strip casinos and in other non-Vegas major gaming venues. These are the FREE ODDS that are posted for Pass Line and Come players. The casinos posting these odds will allow the player to TAKE 3X the FLAT BET on the 4 and 10, 4X on the 5 and 9 and 5X the FLAT BET on the 6 and 8. Read more about 3-4-5X on NextShooter.com, including the origins of this set of odds.

INSULT TO INJURY

We have recently been informed that THE GOLDEN NUGGET, downtown in Vegas, has DOUBLED the commonly used 3-4-5x Odds, described in the above article. Posted Odds there are now 6X on the 4 and 10, 8X on the 5 and 9 and 10X on the 6 and 8. THE BONE MAN will be doing an in-depth update on Downtown Casino Table Odds during the month of September. But why play at THE GOLDEN NUGGET when there are better table odds within a 5 minute walking distance?

CRAPS QUIZ

Here is the answer to the AUGUST 2004 quiz:

The best place to stand at the table if you are a DON'T player is:

Next to the Stickman (Woman)

Next to a Base Dealer

The best place for a Don't Player to stand is NEXT TO A BASE DEALER. As the Don't Pass Line wraps all the way around the table and the Don't Come Box is furthest away from most players and almost next to either dealer, this is the best place for Don't Players to play so that their wagers and pay-offs can be made easily and without having to throw or toss them from any other position on the table.

September 2004 Quiz:

The term COLOR UP means:

What you say to the dealer when you are cashing in your chips (cheques) and are ready to leave the table, thereby lightening your load in larger denominations to take to the cashier's cage.

What some dealers and casinos do to players, gradually paying winning bets with larger denomination chips, thereby forcing the player(s) to ask for change or to bet the larger denominations.
