Like the Come and Don't Come, the Odds Bet can only be placed after the
winning point has been established. The odds bet does just what it
implies—increases your odds.
NOTE: There is not a slot for this on the Craps table because it's in your
favor to raise the odds, not the casino's. After the winning point is
established and you know how you want to play it, raise your odds! Normally,
there isn't a limit on this, so be sure to bet wisely.
