The Big 6 /8 bet is located in the corner of the craps table, where it breaks the pass
line. You’ll quickly notice the very BIG print of a 6 and an 8. The simple fact
of the matter is the big 6 / 8 bet is identical to the place bet on a six or eight.
The only difference is what you get paid. For a place bet on the 6 or 8 you get
paid 7 to 6, but for the big 6 / 8 you only get paid even money.

Calculating out this difference in payouts shows a house edge of 9.09% on this bet, compared to 1.52% on the place bet. Basically the Big 6 / 8 bet is a
sucker bet. The online casino knows placing the 6 or 8 is better than placing any other number, so in an effort to stop it from becoming popular, they put a big
fat 6 and 8 in an easy to reach part of the online craps board. Instead of making a big 6 / big 8 bet, get familiar with making place bets instead.
