Like Place 8, but at true odds with a commission.
Bet the 8 rolls before a 7. It pays true odds of 6:5, and the casino takes a 5% commission (the vig) only when you win, rounded down to whole dollars with a $1 minimum. It is off on the come-out by default.
House edge is the average share of each bet the casino keeps. Standard Vegas rules, shown at a typical bet size.
Place a Buy 8 bet in crappy and see its expected value before you roll.
