Big 6 8 Craps
A craps 'instructor' at Montecarlo, who was big on pushing the sucker bets, did admit, quite readily, the Big 6/8 is a sucker bet not worth making. He said he'd heard players say they make it because that way they can better keep track of their chips. Free chips with ridiculous conditions attached. For example, $100 free but you must wager it 100 times in total, What Does Big 6 And 8 Mean In Craps then you can only withdraw if your What Does Big 6 And 8 Mean In Craps balance is above $200, and the maximum payout What Does Big 6 And 8 Mean In Craps is $200. If you want to play Big 6 8 Craps casino games on the Web, we have compiled a selection of the best online casinos for US players. This selection is based on promotions, bonuses, security, cash out options, reputation, software robustness, graphics, customer service, game diversity and the overall respect of the player. Just to add an obvious answer that hasn't been mentioned, many players play the Big 6/8 out of superstition. When I was a craps dealer, I would dutifully explain that placing the 6 or 8 was a better bet, but some players didn't want me to handle their money. They said it was bad luck for me to touch their money.
This was at the Rio - I didn't pay too much attention to the tables at the other casinos.
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.

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?)

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.
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.
Big 6 8 Craps
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.
