Craps Buy 6 And 8
The pass line bet with odds is the best craps bet you can make because it has the lowest house edge. However, players can also wager on the numbers 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 at any time with a Place Bet. These numbers are sometimes referred to as “point numbers” or “box numbers,' and the wagers go in the big boxes shown on the layout. Place bets are very valuable when a shooter is rolling many numbers, as you'll get paid each time the number repeats.
For example, I've never seen a casino with buy bets on a 5, 6, 8, and 9 where the commission was payable on a win only. Nevertheless, I don't know the rules of every craps table on earth. I also know that if I omit such bets, somebody will write in and take me to task for the omission.
- I have a question. I know you can buy the 4, 5, 9 and 10. My question is can the 6 or 8 be bought and what would the minimum buy be? Thank you for any help. Dear B.W.: Buying the 6 and 8 is the craps equivalent of jumping off the Empire State Building without a parachute. The same holds true for the 5 and 9.
- There are certain numbers that could result in a more lucrative craps game. Buy bets on the numbers 4 or 10 appear to be more lucrative than similar bets on 5 or 9. The house edge is reduced when betting on the former numbers. Let’s say it had been 6.67 percent before the wager, once the wager has been made it drops to 4.67 percent.
How to Make Place Bets
To make a place bet you put your chips in front of you on the layout and tell the inside dealer which numbers you want to cover. The dealer will then move your chips to the numbered box you want to wager on. Place bets are not self-service bets.
The dealer keeps track of which bet belongs to which player by placing them strategically inside the box.
Winning Your Bet
After you place a number it must roll before a seven appears in order to win. When the shooter sevens-out, you lose all of your place bets. When you win a place bet the dealer will push you your winnings but the original bet stays where it is and keeps winning if the number keeps rolling.
Your original bet will stay on the place number until the shooter sevens out or until you ask the dealer to take your bet down. You can take down your place bets anytime you want to. If the shooter makes their point the place bet will be turned-off for the come-out roll. Want it to work (win or lose) on the come-out? You've got to tell the dealer before the shooter releases the dice!
The Pay Out
The true odds of rolling the numbers six and eight are 6 to 5 but a winning place bet on these numbers pays $7 to $6, so you must make your place bets on these numbers in multiples of six dollars. The house edge on the 6 and 8 is only 1.52 percent which makes it a very good bet.
The true odds of rolling a five or nine are 3 to 2 but a winning place bet on these numbers pays $7 to $, so you must make your place bets in multiples of five dollars. The house edge on the 5 and 9 is 4-percent.
The true odds of rolling the for or ten are 2 to 1 but a winning place bet on these numbers pays $9 to $5. These numbers require bets in multiples of five dollars. The house edge on the 4 and 10 is 6.67 percent.
Place Bets
Buy Bets
A Buy Bet is very similar to a place bet, but with slightly better odds for the player in the 4 and 10. When betting on a number with a buy bet you pay a 5 % commission to the house. Since the minimum chip value at the casino is a dollar you will be paying at least that much. It is not worth it to buy a number for less than $20.
If you are betting more than $10, buying the 4 and 10 is better than placing them. This is because you are being paid 2 to 1 instead of 9 to 5. Some casinos only charge you the commission on buy bets when you win. Ask the dealer at the table if this is their policy. If you have a choice of casinos to play in, always choose the one that only charges a commission on winning buy bets.
Buying the 6 and 8 is not worthwhile. You will actually have a higher house edge because of the commission.
I was on a long streak, and the 6 was hitting like crazy. i kept Placing $ on the 6 till i maxxed at $198. I then went to BUY the 6 for $50. it hit and i pressed to $100. then the 7 hit. (so $30 6, $150 odds, $198 place, and $100 Buy) :o
Craps Buy 6 And 8 Inch
20/20 hindsight i was thinking instead of $100 Buy for the 6, i would have a lower house edge placing that $100 on the 8, or even Buying the 4/10.Craps 6 And 8 House Edge
What would you have done? follow the streak on the 6 and pay the extra house edge to Buy it, or put that $ on a lower house edge bet?
In e-Craps (touchscreen everything but the dice are real) in NYC
Please give me more details about this e-craps. Who throws the dice? Is this real craps or automated like a slot machine?
I am visiting NY and the 'Casino' is only 15 minutes away, thinking about checking it out.

my thread on it:
http://wizardofvegas.com/forum/off-topic/general/9141-which-casinos-on-east-coast-have-electronic-craps/
The game is called Organic Dice. (as opposed to Shoot to Win, which is the other e-Craps game w/real dice.)ps- Why doesnt http auto-link?!
Which version do you like better? Are both versions available at Aqueduct?
Read it. Thx!

only organic craps is in nyc.
Shoot to Win is in Vegas.
I prefer Organic craps because of it MUCH higher table limit. (in Vegas, max total $ #s is $500 vs $3000 in NYC.)
it sucks when you're on a hot roll, and you cant press. Done that a couple of times in Vegas e-Craps. :(
downside of orgainic craps:
you cant turn #'s on/off individually. you can only turn them ALL on/off.
it sucks. i want to turn on 6/8 on passline rolls. if a 7 hits, i'm ok with a 1.5% Place bet to put $ back on it.
i'm not ok with a 2% Buy bet on the 5/9 if it goes down.
I'm heading to Bethlehem Sands tonight for some craps but I'll try to stop at Aqueduct on my way back to check out organic craps. Their website says they close at 4am???
Why doesnt http auto-link?!

ie: I'm lazy :p
No matter what the house edge is, you do better when you put your money on the numbers that pay off.
This. But yeah, if the six is hitting, you might as well go 'every way to the number' as in roulette. A good way to get around posted maximums.
