Bet you didn't think I knew any words with 9 letters in them (so, I'm a little weak in counting). These little things may seem unimportant, but in the overall approach to gambling I want you aware of everything.
Peek back to the last chapter and notice how I said the payoffs were always something to something. For example, a street of three numbers pays 11 to 1. Here's what I'm driving at. You place a chip on the street of 7 8 9. Let's say number eight shows. The dealer will slide 11 chips over in front of you and leave your one chip bet on the lay out. You were paid 11 chips and re¬main in action. If you wish to pull that bet down, it is your responsibility to reach out and remove it.
Some lay outs will state the payoffs as something for something. Again, let's use the example of the street bet. But this time the lay out reads 12 for 1. Now don't go thinking you've found a gold mine of a mistake by that
casino
. Again the eight pops up and the dealer slides eleven chips profit to you, along with the chip you had bet on the street. You received 12 chips on that win, but actual¬ly it's the exact same return as the 11 to 1.
The casinos that use the word for give no more of a profit than the ones who use the terminology 11 to 1. 1 just wanted to see if I could get the word into a sentence and sound like I knew what I was saying.
