Craps Big 6 8 Bet
The truth of the matter is that the 4, 5, 9, and 10 place bets are really bad bets. You're expected to lose a little less than 3x more on the 5,9 vs the 6,8 and 4x with the 9 and 10 (buying is equivalent to placing the 6,8). This is significant enough to avoid - I traditionally go through my bankroll 2-3 times an hour, so it can add up. With a big $30 bet, that’s only $1 less than what we’d expect to be paid for true odds in an unbiased game that doesn’t have any house advantage. What this tells us is that the Place bet on the 6 or 8 is one of the smartest bets on the craps table (i.e., by “smart,” I mean it has one of the lowest house advantages of all craps bets).
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. 5:6 on 6 or 8 Come Point: Proposition Bets: Any 7 Any Craps 7 to 1 Two Craps or Twelve Craps Three Craps or Eleven: 4:1 7:1 30:1 15:1: Don't Pass Lay Odds/Don't Come Lay Odds Lay Bets: point is a 4 or 10 point is a 5 or 9 point is a 6 or 8: 1:2 2:3 5:6: Tall Bet Small Bet All Bet: All numbers in the set are rolled before a 7 appears: 34:1 34:1. Note that hopping a hard 8 is not the same as betting hard 8. When a player throws out a chip and says ‘hard 8’, the dealer will make the hard ways 8 bet, which pays 9-1. The hardways bet is a multi-roll bet and pays 9-1. Advice: to avoid confusion, when players want to hop, my advice is to always say the word, ‘hopping’ in front of the.
This is a simple question (I think) related to odds of winning on a particular place bet. My typical move is to start a roll with $10 or $12 place bets across on the numbers. My playing buddy does the same except he places $30 on each of the 6/8. Does either one offer a long-term payback? My contention is that the former system is better on a cold to warm table, and worse on a hot table. My friend says the latter is always better. Your thoughts?
If I understand your friends bets, they are $10 each on the outside numbers and $30 each on the 6 and 8 for a total of $70 or $90 depending on the point. You will have $52 or $54.
Since all the bets have negative expectations, neither offers a long-term payback, but bigger, faster losses can be expected by your buddy, since he is exposing a larger wager to the negative expectation each roll.

This is pretty much your exact answer. BOTH you and your buddy are playign a losing game, so neither 'betting scheme' has any 'long-term payback' other than losing your expected value in the long run. Your expected loss will simply be a bit smaller than his expected loss since you're betting less thus exposing less money to the house edge.Check out the Wizards page on the basics of craps, and hopefully you'll get the idea of the house edge associated with each bet:

Alternative betting pattern: $30 on the 6 and 8 each, along with PL/come. The truth of the matter is that the 4, 5, 9, and 10 place bets are really bad bets. You're expected to lose a little less than 3x more on the 5,9 vs the 6,8 and 4x with the 9 and 10 (buying is equivalent to placing the 6,8). This is significant enough to avoid - I traditionally go through my bankroll 2-3 times an hour, so it can add up.Stick with placing the 6,8, buying the 4,10, and/or pass,come with odds. The house edge is likely to show itself in the form of smaller than optimal wins. So yes, you will have good days either way you play, but your wins will tend to be 'short' if you are wasting money by placing the 4,5,9,10. That said, play how you want, it's your money. Unless you start betting the big6/8, then it becomes a question of sanity.
(In the nicest way possible) - Drop the hot/cold/warm table talk, they do not exist. The dice do not have a memory and everything is random. Embrace the randomness.
Similarly whether you press your bets will affect matters, you make more on a good day but lose more on a bad day.
Best Wishes placing your box numbers. If Big Red stays away for a while then you may win some money. Here are some suggestions:

1. Emphasize the Six and Eight. They are more likely than the other boxes, they should contribute more to your overall revenue profile, and they suffer from less probabilistic disadvantage.Craps Big 6 8 Betting
2. Buy the Four and Ten when you are able to make bets of $25 or larger.3. Buy the Five and Nine when you are able to make bets of $50 or larger.
4. Do not increase your bets until you have fully recovered to your rails the total value of your spread. Doing so will require five hits, so just say 'Same Bet' until after at least the sixth hit.

5. Intend to take your bets down. There is no need to inevitably lose your investment capital for each shooter.

Rather than fleeing, choose a place bet 'limit', (e.g., a number gets pressed to $1.5 or $3k). After it hits, lock up a chunk of cash by 'resetting' all the place bets to 2X the original base bet. Then run your pressing progression again. Doing this allows you to continue to cash in if the 7 doesn't show. Hopefully, you can run the cycle a few times.
