To place a Big 8 bet, players put their chips on the designated area of the table labeled “Big 8.” If the shooter rolls an 8 before a 7, the bet pays even money (1:1). However, if a 7 is rolled before an 8, the bet loses. This bet is often favored because it has a relatively low house edge compared to other betting options.
Big 8 Example
For example, if a player bets $10 on Big 8 and the shooter rolls an 8, the player wins $10. Conversely, if the shooter rolls a 7 before hitting an 8, the player loses their $10 bet.
