I haven't really noticed what they pay for large bets on 5/9. 6/8 are already only about 1.52% house advantage.
Just to note, there aren't different odds based on the bet amount. In craps, buying numbers pays even odds (no house advantage) minus a "vig", short for vigorish (commission). The vig may vary on bet amount depending on how the casino handles rounding.
