Placing the six or eight, or grabbing
a Pass line bet for those so inclined, are really
the only wagers you want to make on a crap table.
They have a casino edge of 1.5% or lower. Most
players who belly up to the crap table are greener
than the felt on the table, but by exploiting
only the best bet(s) the game offers, you join
the less than one percent of players who truly
understand dice.
You could ask your friendly dealer how to Place
the six or eight, but all you really have to do
is walk up to the table, set down $6 ($12 if you're
betting both numbers) on the layout and state
your preference: "Six (or eight) for six
dollars," then cheer on the six or eight
to appear before the seven, and you're off to
the races. You'll get paid $7 if the six or eight
hits, but you'll lose, if the seven appears.
Craps 101 isn't over yet, Jayne. We'll revisit
in the future another best bet in the casino,
the Pass Line wager, then move you into odds after
that, all of which nudges you ever closer to your
Winners University diploma.

The Casino Advantage In Hardways
The actual odds, pitted against the player's payout,
determines what the casino's advantage is on a
hardway bet, and NOT how many more ways you can
roll an easy 6 or 8 versus 4 and 10. Let's examine
this further.
