A bet that a 7 rolls before the 8.
You bet against the 8, so you risk more than you win: it pays 5:6. The casino takes 5% of your win as the vig, rounded down to whole dollars with a $1 minimum. It is always working, including on the come-out.
House edge is the average share of each bet the casino keeps. Standard Vegas rules, shown at a typical bet size.
