I'm not sure you're right. I occasionally play 6 and 8, and never 4/5/9/10. I believe the normal odds are 7/6, 7/5, and 9/5, but I'm pretty certain I've seen them pay $49 back for a $25 bet on the 4 and 10. When you lay a number (bet it to lose) I think they give you fair odds less a 5% commission on the amount won. I saw a guy who would win about $500 on a side bet if another 5 was rolled, so he hedged and bet the 5 to lose, and I'm pretty sure he bet $155 to win $100.
