====Put====
A put bet is a bet which allows players to increase or make a Pass line bet after a point has been established (after come-out roll). Players may make a put bet on the Pass line and take odds immediately or increase odds behind if a player decides to add money to an already existing Pass line bet. Put betting also allows players to increase an existing come bet for additional odds after a come point has been established or make a new come bet and take odds immediately behind if desired without a come bet point being established. If increased or added put bets on the Pass line and Come cannot be turned "Off", removed or reduced, but odds bet behind can be turned "Off", removed or reduced. The odds bet is generally required to be the table minimum. Player cannot put bet the Don't Pass or Don't Come. Put betting may give a larger house edge over place betting unless the casino offers high odds.

Put bets are generally allowed in [[Las Vegas]], but not allowed in [[Atlantic City, New Jersey|Atlantic City]] and [[Pennsylvania]].

Put bets are better than place bets (to win) when betting more than 5-times odds over the flat bet portion of the put bet.  For example, a player wants a $30 bet on the six.  Looking at two possible bets: 1) Place the six, or 2) Put the six with odds.  A $30 place bet on the six pays $35 if it wins.  A $30 put bet would be a $5 flat line bet plus $25 (5-times) in odds, and also would pay $35 if it wins.  Now, with a $60 bet on the six, the place bet wins $70, where the put bet ($5 + $55 in odds) would pay $71.  The player needs to be at a table which not only allows put bets, but also high-times odds, to take this advantage.
