I've now got $30 on the pass-line with odds of $60. Her point is 4. She makes the 4 and I pick up my win of $150 ($30 from the pass-line win and $120 from the double-odds win). l leave $30 on the pass line for the next come-out roll. My last come bet-$30goes to the 4. I throw the dealer $60 for the odds on this last collie bet and say, "Let it work." On the come-out roll, all odds bets are automatically turned off because the players are all pulling for the w-inning 7 on this come-out roll. This means that if the shooter should throw another 4 on the come-out roll, that $60 odds bet would not win $120. You have to tell the dealer that the bet "works." Since I was already on the 4, that bet pays off but stays up because the last number rolled was a 4.

On the come-out roll she rolls a 6, so I position $100 behind the $30 pass-line bet for the odds. I make another $30 come bet and watch her roll another 4. Off and on for $150 ($30 pays $30; $60 pays $120 with the 2-to-1 odds). This means that my come bet stays on the d. I watch in amazement as she rolls two more 4s in succession, and I win $150 on each one.

However, this young lady is making $5 and $10 bets and not raising her bet. She's now been throwing the dice for 20 minutes or so (remember, it was a crowded table) and she's won only about $50. Every so often she complains to the dealer that nobody is betting for her! She's casting envious glances at the black and green chips that many of the other players are accumulating and wishing she had some. This tells me she is a novice at the games, that she has a natural rhythm roll and does not know how to exploit it to her advantage.
