Jun 18, 2007 · I agree with Wildan - to me, a "buck" is always one dollar. But then again, the expression "one-fifty" can potentially mean either $1.50 or $150, so I guess it's conceivable that someone might make the same analogy for "buck and a half."

On edit: the well-known expression is "pass the buck ...
Mar 9, 2017 · A buck gets ten is 10/1 odds, but you have to bet one buck to get 10 back. If you bet 10 bucks against the mans 1 buck, ie you then win 1 buck, the actual odds are 1/10. ie ten to one ON.
