Re: Odd Craps Situation that Benefits Player - Does it Matter Enough
[ QUOTE ]
I guess my question is that if the player rolls where a disadvantage as part of the game is removed for a roll and that can be off set by an exact opposite bet where the equivalent advantage remains, would that not create a potential +EV situation?

Also, to respond to this specifically, the period after the point is established where your Come bet is at a disadvantage is not "removed"; it's just delayed. The odds of your Come bet ultimately paying off are unchanged by the delay.
You can respond to the delay by betting Don't Come more often than Come (in which case you will lose on the come-out significantly more often than you win, offsetting the greater wins after establishing a point) or you can respond by betting each one equally frequently, in which case you will (1) at any given time, tend to have more on the table on Come than Don't Come, since Don't Come will resolve faster and (2) face the normal house edges on Come and Don't Come, in equal proportions.
