Simple Math Southpoint Style

[alterin]

Okay, I deal this game called dice. Now on it, there is this bet called a pass line bet. The dice are thrown and the next number is then the point. You can then take odds on your pass line bet. With me, so far? No? Okay, so you have this bet on the pass line. You can take now take “odds” on the pass line bet. So you have a line bet and an odds bet. The odds bet is limited to what we at Southpoint call two times odds. So if you have 1x on the pass line, you can take 2x on the odds. Now, here's the problem. We don't actually completely limit you to two times odds. We limit you as follows... Well here lets take the problem of the 5 and 9 first. On the 5 and 9, you can take 8 chips to every 3 chips. So if you have 3 dollars, you can take 8 dollars. Or if you bet one five dollar chip. You can bet twelve dollars. Now think about that for a second. If you bet 3 dollars, you can bet 8 dollars. If you bet 5 dollars, you can take 12 dollars. Does that make sense to anyone? With 3 dollars you can take 8 dollars, so with 6 dollars you can take 16 dollars. Yet with 5 dollars you can take only 12 dollars. Wait a minute, there's a problem here! That doesn't even remotely make any sense! So.. for any given bet depending on how you do your math, you could have retarded different kinds of max odds. For example, if you have 15 dollars, you can take 40, and if you have 30 dollars you can take 80. But if you have 45, you can't take 120 because you need 50 to take 120. But he said I can take... But he said I can only take. But you said I could take yesterday. But YOU GUYS ARE FREAKING IDIOTS!
