You are getting 10x on all number or just 4 and 10? 10x on 5,6,8,9 seems like the casino would be putting the odds in your favor at least one or two players anyway.

Yes -- you can get 10X in the back on any number, including the 4 and 10, at fair odds.

In other words -- if you bet $5 on the pass and $50 in the back and the point is a 4. You'll make $5 up front (even money) and $100 in the back (2/1 odds)

If you bet $5 on the don't pass and the point is a 4. You can lay $100 to win $50 (1/2 odds) if they don't make the 4 and obviously you'll get even money on the front line bet.

When the table is cold I love to play the 4 and 10. With $5 don't pass and max odds and a small cover on the hard way means only on dice combo can beat me.

I need to go to PA. 10x on the easy numbers is lovely, best I ever got was 8x on 6,8 and 9x on 5,9.

Not to argue with you - but I doubt the number was 9x for the 5 and 9. That would lead to an odd number a fair amount of the time, which is an obvious problem for a 3-to-2 fair odds bet.
