(L) SPECIAL SPLIT - Its not a well known thing, but placing a bet where chip L is simply covers the 0-00 split combination. It is provided to help those down at the far end of the table. It is important to note that this special "short cut" bet can only be there (between the 2nd and 3rd thirds) because the space between the 1st & 2nd thirds is not a legal betting area. I have seen a few layouts that actually have a little circle there for this bet. As this is the same as a normal 0-00 split, this bet pays 17-1
