Find out why the Big 6 and the Big 8 are one of the dumbest bets you can make at the craps table. We'll also cover some other Bad bets!

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? 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.
This was at the Rio - I didn't pay too much attention to the tables at the other casinos.

They are illegal in AC but alive and well in Vegas.Yeah, they've always been illegal in AC.
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?)

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.

Thanks - I thought I had heard they were illegal somewhere.Vegas or should I say NV, is the wild, wild west anything goes on the craps table, they can make up their rules for each casino, there is nothing in the gaming rules on what a casino can and can't do on the craps tables, although they do have to run what bets they are going to have on the table through gaming.

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.AZ -
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.
