You don't have the advantage...on the pass line or don't pass..

a very slight edge to the house

Taking or laying odds is the ONLY bet where the house

has no advantage..they pay out exactly what the "true odds are"

You seem to miss the point. Is that a good reason to double your bet
and give up the advantage you already have?

Once the point is set, the "Don't Pass" bet has a sizeable edge in favor of the player though, and that's the point that you lay odds. The question is: Why lay the odds, which have no player edge, when you already have a bet on the table with a player edge?

I've often pondered it, and ultimately concluded that players do it for the action. I always bet with the shooter, so it's all somewhat alien to me from a mindset standpoint.
