Can You Pull Down Your 6 and 9 Bets When the Point is 8?

In craps, once you place a bet on the 6 or 9, you cannot pull it down until the round is over or the point is established. However, you can reduce your bet if you have a specific type of bet, such as a 'buy' bet, but this is not common for standard place bets.

Understanding Place Bets

In craps, when you place a bet on the 6 or 9, you are making a place bet. These bets remain active until the point is established or you decide to take them down. However, standard place bets cannot be removed or pulled down once they are placed. You can only take them down after the round is over or if the shooter sevens out.

Reducing Bets

If you have a buy bet on the 6 or 9, you may have the option to reduce that bet, but this is not the same as pulling down a place bet. In general, the rules of the game dictate that once a place bet is made, it stays in play until the outcome of the round.

Play it smart. Gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money — the house always has the long-run edge, and no system beats it. Set a budget you can afford to lose and stick to it. If gambling stops being fun, call or text the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537), available 24/7.
