This is a bet at craps that you place yourself on the table layout marked Big 6 or Big 8. It pays even money when a 6 or 8 is rolled. You lose if 7 comes up, and nothing happens as long as other numbers continue to appear. It is an 'all-day' bet, and you can remove the bet at any time. Betting on the Big 6 or 8 is a poor bet for the player.
- Big 6 and Big 8 These bets are very straightforward, and both pay even money (1:1) if successful. A big 6 wins if any 6 is thrown before a 7, and a big 8 wins if any 8 is thrown before a 7.

While in Vegas the week following Father's Day (see my other post concerning how I 'crashed' a $50 craps game), I noticed that the layout had Big 6 and Big 8 on them. Have these always been there? Kaarten texas holdem. I don't remember them being on the layout in recent years - in fact, I vaguely remember hearing something about the bets being illegal as they were misleading the players into making worse-odds versions of placing the 6 and 8.

They are illegal in AC but alive and well in Vegas.
I've never seen them at Sands PA. I have a feeling that PA copied the wording of AC's gaming rules, so it may be illegal in PA as well.
I haven't seen them in CT either.
But, yeah, they're alive and well in Vegas.
I HAVE seen other bets in that corner. Specifically a 6-7-8 bet that pays even money if the next roll is 6, 7 or 8, and double for a hard 6 or hard 8. (My simple math says it's a zero edge bet. That can't be right, can it?)

Thanks - I thought I had heard they were illegal somewhere.

Nah, it's the same as the field with 2/12 only double (5.56% 14 even money, 2 double and 20 losses). In Indiana I saw Low Dice and High Dice there.

These pay even money? What a rip off!
When I teach craps at parties I tell people they are the stupidest bet in the casino. 15 inches away you get better odds for the same outcome. No different than if you had to pay 10% more for a Big Mac at the drive-thru instead of at the counter.
Don't use that analogy. Theres a convenience factor with drive thru.

Instead, compare the Value Menu to ordering the individual items.On a side note: be careful with that. Some math challenged fast food managers price the 'value' meal higher than the sum on the items!

As there is with the self-serve Big 6/8.
When I explain it I simply say the bet is on the board for those who do not know the game or/and are too intimidated to talk to a dealer.

I think it is more savvy managers pricing for math-challenged customers. Or those just in a hurry.

A bet on big 6 wins if the shooter rolls a 6 before a 7.
A bet on big 8 works the same way; to win an 8 has to be rolled before a 7. Big 6 and Big 8 bets pay even money.

I never play Big 6 and Big 8. It's just a bad investment. A place bet on 6 and 8 is exactly the same as making a big 6 or 8 bet, but with one major difference, the payout. A bet at Big 6 or 8 pay even money but a place bet on the same numbers pays 7 to 6. That means that there is no reason to play big 6 and big 8. I recommend that you stay away from that area of the craps lay out.
