2.BIG 6 AND BIG 8
A big 6 or big 8 bet is made by placing your wager in the large boxed-off 6 or 8 at either corner of the layout. Winnings are paid off in the same box. If you don't claim them before the next roll, both the original bet and the payoff will count as a new bet. Both of these bets work the same way. If you bet on the big 6, you are wagering that a 6 will be rolled before a 7.
The big 8 bet pays if an 8 comes up before a 7. If this sounds familiar, it is because this kind of bet works exactly the same way as either a place bet or a buy bet on 6 or 8. The difference is that the big 6 and big 8 pay only even money, while the place bet pays 7 to 6 and the buy bet pa)'s 6 to 5 minus the 5 percent charge.
The even-money payoff on a bet where true odds are 6 to 5 gives the house a massive 9.09 percent advantage. Compare that with the 1.5 percent edge on the place bet and the 4.7 percent on the buy bet. This is like having an identical product on sale at the supermarket at three different prices. Only a masochist would buy it at the highest price. If you want to cover the 6 or 8, the smart way to do it is with a place bet. The big 6 and big 8 cost over six times as much as a place bet on the same number. To make a big 6 or big 8 bet at a crap table is to immediately brand yourself a sucker in the eyes of the crap dealers and knowledgeable players.
In Atlantic City, the big 6 and big 8 payoff at 7 to 6 just like the place bet, as long as you bet in multiples of six dollars. In these casinos, there is really no difference at all between the two kinds of bet. Even there, I would advise you to place the bet rather than put your money on the big 6 or big 8, just for the sake of your image. see more > > >
