Which bet would pay me more in craps?

Question

Which one of these two bets would pay me more if the point hit?

1. A $30 place bet on 6.

2. A $10 come bet with $20 odds behind it on 6.

Answer 1

30 dollar bet on 6 pays 7:6 -- so you would get paid 35 dollars on the 30 if the 6 comes

10 come bet with 20 odds on the 6 -- the come bet pays 10 and the odds bet pays 6:5 or 24 dollars on the 10 -- for a total of 34 dollars

so you get paid more on the 30 dollar place bet in this instance ....  but on the come out roll, a 7 would win the come bet so it is still a better bet

hope that helps

Answer 2

The place bet pays 35 at 7/6.  The come bet pays 10 plus 24 or 34.  The place bet pays more.
