Experienced players have learned to be cautious when it comes to these bets because if you do not use them properly, you expose your bankroll to significant risk. Yet, the bet seems attractive at a first glance because apart from 7, the other two numbers that are frequently rolled are 6 and 8.

Basically, the player bets that either 6 or 8 will be rolled before 7 is rolled. Similarly to the pass line bet, the player is required to place the desired amount of chips into the designated area on the table and keep their fingers crossed that their numbers will be rolled.
The big 6 is a wager that 6 will be rolled before 7.

The dice are rolled as many times as necessary until the player wins or loses. If 7 comes out before 6, you lose. The big 8 wagers are processed in the same manner. Players bet that 8 will be rolled before 7. In case any other number is rolled, the dice are rolled again. If 8 is actually rolled before 7, you win, but if the opposite scenario occurs, you lose your wager.
However, it is important to know that there is a significant difference in payouts between the place bet and the Big Six and Eight. The payout for a place bet on the 6 and 8 is 7:6, while the payout for the big 6 and 8 is 1:1.
In other words, a payout 1:1 means that you lose 6 bets for every 5 bets you win. The same applies to the place bets but the 7:6 payout makes it possible to keep more of your chips as you lose one of them for every 66 chips you wagered. If you wager on the Big Six and Eight, you lose one chip per every 11 wagered.
If you place bets on 6 and 8, the house edge reaches a modest 1.5%, but it jumps to a solid 9% when you bet on the Big Six and Eight. Despite being located in different areas on the layout, the two bets are practically the same.

Players who do not have enough experience in playing craps seem to be lured by the big 6 and 8 bets because of the relatively high probability of rolling these numbers. However, it seems impractical to opt for the Big Six and Eight bet and give the house a 9% advantage instead of making the same bet as a place bet and enhance your chances of turning a profit.
The dealer controls the place bet and places it in the designated area, which basically eliminates any arguments related to the players who get paid. In most cases, players are not well-informed about the difference between these bets.
Many players wonder about whether these bets are effective on the come out roll.
Well, there is not a definite answer to that question. The Big Six and Eight are always working, but that statement is not always applicable to the place 6 and 8. It depends on the casino you have chosen, as some do not offer such a bet. For example, Atlantic City-based casinos do not offer the Big Six and Eight bet and offer only place bets.
This is not an obscure advantage play. It is easier to pick off someone doing this than to pick off someone counting.
Surveillance still wastes time on either????
I need to get back to Vegas and sort them out :)
Big Six Table Games
But I assume it would be difficult to avoid drawing heat from the casino. What are the typical maximums on a Big Six wheel? I've never noticed.
The spread at The D, as I recall, is $1-$50, if I saw the wheel anywhere else in Vegas, I must not have paid attention. The Meadows either has or had one, funny thing about theirs is that it is in the midst of the other Table Games, I forget the limits, though.
But here's some of the issues. Not all casinos here in Vegas have the wheel. Most of the local type places don't. Many casinos on the strip do, but the wheel only operates during busier times, evenings and weekends.
Second issue, it's hard to get any kind of money down. Most players playing the wheel are betting 1-5 dollars. Occasionally you with see a green chip on the even money or 2-1 payoff. Try betting green or black on the longshot payoff and you are drawing immediate attention. You might as well be standing there naked, for as much as you stand out. And yes, there is heat and the same counter measures as counting cards. You will be backed off and barred. The first half of 2012, I had more back offs from the wheel, which I was only playing sparingly than from my blackjack play. This was a major negative for a player who's major focus is longevity and goes to great lengths to keep his play off the radar. All that effort down the drain because I am doing something that stands out on a supplemental game.
Third. If you can get any play in, it's a very, very boring way to make a little money. It's bad enough if you are playing heads up, but if there are other players spreading their $1 and $5 chips around as there often are during the crowded times....forget about it. You get a spin every 2 minutes. Almost as slow as a crowded roulette table. Not quite but you get the picture.
Fourth, the manual wheel is disappearing. The electronic wheel from Aruze, is popping up all over, replacing the manual wheel. I think the wheel, will actually be the first of the manual type games that is completely replaced by electronic version.
In the second half of 2012, I ceased playing the wheel. Just too may negatives. There are easier ways to make a few bucks, with less grief.
In 2012, I added playing 'the wheel' to my attack. The variance gods were with me and I jumped out fast, the first couple of months way above expectation. Then things cooled off some and my win rate plummeted. I ended up winning low 5 figures, which supplemented my BJ income.

What kind of edge do you think you were getting over all?
I really don't want to get into that. I just wanted to make the point that, the mathematical opportunity is there on paper, but when you attempt to apply the technique in real life, there are some road blocks which will severely limit this opportunity.
