Place every point number: $5 on 4, 5, 9, 10 and $6 on 6 and 8. We ran it through 40,000 simulated hour-long sessions (100 rolls each, $5 table, real casino payouts) to see what actually happens.
"$32 across" is dealer shorthand for placing all six numbers at a $5 table: $5 on the 4, 5, 9 and 10, and $6 on the 6 and 8 (so the 7:6 payout comes out even). Any number that rolls pays you, and only a 7 takes everything down.
The 6 and 8 are cheap (1.52% edge), but the 5 and 9 cost 4% and the 4 and 10 cost 6.67%. That's why many players "go across" but buy the 4 and 10 at higher limits.
Bets: $5 on 4, 5, 9, 10 + $6 on 6, 8.

Play it now →Each session is 100 rolls (about an hour at a busy table) starting on a new shooter, using standard Vegas rules: 3-4-5x odds, casino payouts rounded down, place bets off on the come-out, and a $5,000 table max. At the end of the hour we stop betting, take down removable bets and let contract bets finish. "Down $500" counts any point in the hour where the session was $500 behind. Dice come from a cryptographic random generator. Results are practice estimates, not predictions.
They pay 7:6, so bets need to be in $6 units to pay cleanly. $6 wins $7; a $5 bet would get shorted to $5.
Buy them if you're betting $20 or more: a $25 buy pays $49 (true odds minus $1 vig) versus $45 placed.
Across covers all six point numbers. Inside is just the 5, 6, 8 and 9.
