If you're playing at a casino with high odds....10x or 20x or even 100x at a few places........instead of placing the 5 and 9, you bet the table minimum as a put bet, which is like a come bet after the initial roll. For example, at a casino with 20x odds, you put 5 as a put bet on the 9, and take 100 odds. 105 pays 155, with is 1.476 instead of 1.4. Also, if they charge commission on the 4 and 10 buys when you buy them, you can do the same on the 4 and 10, and it pays 1.95, equal to being in Vegas with no commission before the roll.
