    Hi,

    Sorry for this newbie question but sometimes I want to suspend or hold at no risk a bet and odds on a number until the point is raised. This happens when a COME bet is on a number along with the odds. Then I have to roll to establish the point. A "7" at this time loses both my DONT PASS and the COME bet.

    Is there something I can call out to suspend that COME bet or do I just take it down?

    If my come out roll hits the number that has my suspended COME bet, can it move to the equivalent number:
    • 6 = 8
    • 5 = 9
    • 4 = 10
    Can I take down my COME bet and odds at anytime? This would avoid me rolling the point on the suspended COME bet and odds.

    My understanding is the DONT COME bet is locked.

    Thanks,
    Bob Wilson

    If you have a Come bet already on a number then it locked (you can take down or add to the odds bet if you wish).

    On Don't Pass or Don't Come, once you get past the come out roll and have a point for either, you have the advantage. So you are allowed to take those bets down if you wish since it benefits the casino (but you won't be able to put them back up). The odds bet you can take down or add to as long as you have not taken down the don't come or don't pass.

    Ok, I can live with that. Protecting the odds on my COME works. I was hoping to keep the COME bet too but it is an affordable risk.
