5-Count and removing odds bets

Frank,

There is one aspect on the 5-Count that I would appreciate clarification on.

Let's say you've reached the 5-Count and the shooter makes his point number. The shooter then rolls a 7 on the come-out roll. He rolls a point number of 5, then rolls three consecutive craps numbers. He then rolls a 6, then rolls an 8, then rolls another 8. Do you remove your odds bet for two rolls after the shooter rolled three consecutive craps numbers?

Or would you wait to turn your odds bets "off" for two rolls after rolling the first 8 (because this establishes three consecutive point numbers without any wins)?

Dear Howard:

I am going to give you the worst answer in the world: What you do in this situation is your choice. Calling off bets is simply a way to extend your money over time in a random game. However, if the shooter happens to be a controlled shooter and the dice look good, just keep your bets working.

All the best in and out of the casinos!
