Yes, the stickman is calling the game for the base dealers, not necessarily the players. Especially on a crowded table, it can be easy to forget to take a losing DC or lay bet or move a DC behind a number, since those bets are more rare compared to pass line/come/field/etc.
A 'proper' stick-call, which you'll probably only hear by an inexperienced dealer at a break-in house or some veteran who loves his job too much, is something like this: 'Four, easy four, down behind the four, field roll four, don't's and comes travel to the four.' A proper stick call is also the order in which the dealers are supposed to take/pay bets. And technically, the don't-come bets are supposed to get moved before the come bets.
What can get really frustrated is on a busy table where people are playing come-bets occasionally, you (dealer) will run into this scenario. You have 6 people on your side, players 1, 2, and 5 have a come-bet on the FOUR. The following roll, players 2, 3, 5, 6 have a come-bet in the come area and a FOUR is rolled. Proper order to pay/move bets is to pay #1, do off-and-on for #2 (unless flat-bet is different amount), move come bet #3 to the FOUR, do off-and-on for #5, then move #6's come bet. Not sure why I wrote that, but I did.
That isn't to say some stickmen won't add some 'flare' for whatever reason, and say stupid sh*t like 'Little joe from cocomo' or whatever. The dealers I've worked with that'd do that, at least the ones that were encouraging players to join their table (ESPECIALLY a dead game), didn't last long. One guy, I think his nickname was the flea-catcher or flea-bringer or something, ended up crying for a majority of the shift because none of the dealers liked him. He ended up moving shifts, because no boxman wanted to sit on the table he was dealing on. The boxmen would rather be stuck on the worst (busiest) tables all night with a bunch of players constantly asking for then paying off markers than sit on flea-catcher's table with 1 player.
Common Craps Phrases Examples
If there's a hop-bet, stickman should call out the way it landed. ie: 'Nine, center nine, came six three' or 'Five, no field, five, came three two' (or 'trey deuce') If a player hopped a 5-3, then the dealer would call out how the dice landed IF an 8 is rolled, otherwise, no need to call how it came (unless it's a hardway, for instance, like hard 4/6/10).what number did I get on the e.o.

It pays even money. You can either bet the 6, the 8, or both.
They might be saying 'corner'. There's an old bet called the big six-eight that was located on the two corners either side of the stick. Casino salamanca spain. I think it didn't pay as well as placing the 6-8, or it was a duplicate, so it gradually went away. I could be wrong.
No, you're spot-on, Babs! I have had computer craps games that would occasionally call 6/8 both a 'corner rug 6/8' and a 'corner red 6/8.' I think the 'red' referred to the fact that the Big 6/Big 8 bets were printed in red on the layout. I have never heard either of these calls in an actual casino.Common Craps Phrases List
Like the Field Bet, the Big 6/Big 8 was designed as a self-service bet that is (sort of) self-explanatory to someone unfamiliar to the game. And like the Field, it carries a high edge. Craps layouts make the bad (high HE) bets easy to spot and easy to understand. The better bets are harder to find and/or harder to understand. Heck, the best bet on the table (odds) isn't printed anywhere!Online gambling industry statistics.
I never understood why anyone with a clue would make that even money bet on placing six / eight.
I once bet on the Big 6/8 even-money bet. I had forgotten to use a $10 match-play offer that only could be used on even-money payouts. I remembered the match-play offer as I walked past a craps table en route to the parking garage. A roll was in progress, and I didn't have time to play. So I put it on (one of) the 6/8. Don't recall if I won or lost,

As I was told, the term comes from when organized crime controlled Vegas. To '86' someone meant to take them 8 miles out of town and bury them 6 feet deep.
Can anyone confirm or deny? The source that it comes from strikes me as someone who would be quick to believe an urban legend, but some stories ARE true.
