The other good use of the Big Six or Eight
involves table limits. If you happen to hit a really hot table and have
progressed your bets on the place 6 and 8 up to the table limit, then the
dealers will not let you increase your place bets. However, they will
always let you make additional flat bets on the Big Numbers in addition to
your place bets. So instead of a $1000 table limit, you now have a $2000
limit on the six and eight. This becomes especially useful in tournament
play.
In a tournament, the winning crapshooters
are usually decided in the last few moments of a game. It is not uncommon
to see someone place $480 on the place 6 & 8, as well as on the big
six and eight, hoping for a six or eight on the last few rolls of the dice.
If the six or eight does roll, they’ll receive $480 for the Big Number
bet, and $560 for the place bet - a total of $1040 for one roll of the
dice!
Pssst...! Now you know the secrets of the
Big Numbers!
