A classic game of dice-based chance, craps is one of the most iconic casino games – loved the world over. One of the best parts of the game is the slang that comes along with it, but don’t be intimidated. Croupiers – or “stickmen” – at. The player wins on a natural 7 or 11, and the player’s bet is removed on craps 2, 3, or 12. Any other number becomes the come-point, and the player wins if their come-point is made before a 7 is rolled. Don’t Come Bets. The reverse of betting on the Come. The player loses on a 7 or 11 and wins on a 2 or 3.

While researching I found (one of many great posts) a post by Alan Shank stating that they only had card craps in CA but it was good enough. I wish that I felt that way about Oklahoma's card craps. Here's the deal;
For every come out roll, you have to pay a $1 ante - it's supposed to go to education or something in the state. That's EVERY come out roll - if a point gets established, you carry on with the hand - on a 7 or 11 winner, you get your winnings but have to put up another $1 ante to keep your pass line bet out there - on a 2, 3, or 12, you lose your bet and have to pony up another $1 to place another pass line bet.
So, as you can see, this pretty much amounts to - on a $5 pass line bet - a 20% vig no mater what. I get that increasing my pass line bet would decrease the vig % but that's not in the cards for my bankroll.
I've also read the admonishments against making a pass line bet after a point is already established & I understand why. Could it be, in the case of being charged a $1 ante for each & every come out roll, that this would be a situation where I would want to sit out the come out rolls and only place a pass line bet (with odds) AFTER the point is established? There would still be a $1 ante - but, I would have avoided all of the vigs for the naturals & craps.
My strategy is basically $5 pass line with 2x odds & after the point is established placing one unit on inside numbers - pulling the first win on each number then pressing one unit thereafter.
Bigger mathematical minds than me would know for sure - Does this hold water?

I like the thought of sticking with the pass line since it will keep me rooting with the rest of the table - a big part of why I play craps - the crazy community it creates!
Pass line bet is not required but, you'll still have to put a $1 ante for your first come bet (or place bet, etc.) - basically, any time you jump into a hand, you're on the hook for the ante.

If you don't want to increase your bet and you insist on making a PL bet, with all due respect, I don't know what you think anyone can do for you. Is there an ante on, 'Center Action,' bets? If there is no ante on those, then they are all going to have a lower House Edge than paying that $1 vig if $5 is going to be your Max PL bet. Even the horrendous Any Seven (which you should still not make!) would be better than a PL under the conditions you state.
If you want to go with the lowest Expected Loss on a per roll basis, then I would suggest sticking to the Hardways and not worrying about any single-roll resolutions like Hop Bets, Yos and Crap Checks. Just sit there and cover the Hardways, go with a PL if shooting is worth a buck to you. How much do you take in Odds?
I know that sticking with the pass line bet may not be the best move possible but, that is a big part of the entertainment value for me - that's why I play - for the sheer fun of it.
My original question still stands - Overall, does it help or hurt to sit out the come out rolls until a point is established? I think it helps - just need to find time to do the math to confirm.

Okay, I think I misunderstood what you were wanting to know in the OP.
The bet that you are referring to is a Put Bet, and they have certain House Edges:33.33% on the 4 & 10, which means you lose $1.6665 on a $5 bet, plus the $1 vig, so $2.6665.
20.00% on the 5 & 9, so $1.00 on a $5 bet, plus the $1 vig, so $2.00.
9.09% on the 6 & 8, so $0.4545 on a $5 bet, plus the $1 vig, so $1.4545.------
Now, you're automatically losing $1 on the Come Out roll plus (5*.0141), for a total of $1.0705.
It goes without saying that doing your Pass Line bet is the better bet on a per bet basis, however, if you are looking for longevity, then you are going to lose the $1 per bet resolved ON THE ACTUAL COME OUT ROLL 12/36 times.
Okay, so on those other 24/36 times, you will establish a Four or Ten 6/24, Five or Nine 8/24 and Six or Eight 10/24:
(6/36 * 2.6665) + (8/36* 2) + (10/36 * 1.4545) = 1.29288888889
Therefore, you are still losing $1.29 per Come Out Roll betting this way. However, if you do not PUT BET the 4 & 10:(8/36* 2) + (10/36 * 1.4545) = 0.84847222222
Then, you are (Only?) losing $0.85 per Come Out Roll, which is an improvement. If you only PUT BET the 6 & 8:
Winstar Craps Odds
(10/36 * 1.4545) = 0.40402777777
Then, you are losing $0.40 per Come Out Roll, so that is your best option, but you won't be in action nearly as often.
The house pays the ante during a 'happy hour', usually in the afternoon on weekdays.
The ante is waived (paid by the house) on bets over some amount (usually $20)
The ante is waived (paid by the house) if you play using a players club card
About 1/3 of the casinos in the state just pay the ante for the player by default. I don't remember any of those having craps, though...
Actually comma can you just wait for a point of a six or an eight and then do a $6 place bet on the opposite and pay the dollar bill?
Are you dictating your posts, like thru Siri or something?That would make 'actually comma' make sense ;-)
Was the OP named 'comma', now I gotta go back and look...?
@rdw4potus - Unfortunately, I normally play at Winstar & those in charge of the finances there, only dogs can hear them when they fart - very convenient for me but very player unfriendly.
