Generally, the cap on a 6/8 Place Bet will represent the number of units of 6 in the bet. The cap added to the entire bet will produce the payout for the bet when the cap does equal the number of units of 6 in the bet.
From $6 to $96 there are three out of sixteen bets whose cap does not equal the number of units of six in the bet, when set up properly. Those three bets are $54, $78 and $84. When setup properly the caps should be $4, $3 and $9 respectively. However, it is possible to set up these bets in such a way that the cap does represent the number of units of 6 in the bet.
Pictured below are the sixteen bets from $6 to $96 set up correctly along with the three bets set up so their caps do equal the number of units of 6, as a break in dealer might do. This is for demonstration purposes only. DO NOT set up $54, $78 and $84 with caps which do represent the number of units of 6 in the bet.

Pictured below is the reason for why Place Bets what Place Bets pay.
On the 4 & 10 a $5 bet should be paid $10 according to the True Odds of 2 to 1. But the 4 & 10 don't get paid 2 to 1 because the house needs to have an advantage on the bet in order to keep the lights on. So, the casino keeps $1. One dollar less than $10 to $5 is $9 to $5. Hence, 4 & 10 Place Bets are paid 9 to 5.
On the 5 & 9 a $5 bet should be paid $7.50 according to the True Odds of 3 to 2. But the 5 & 9 don't get paid 3 to 2 because the house needs to maintain an advantage. So, the casino keeps the 50¢. Fifty cents less than $7.50 to $5 is $7 to $5. Hence, 5 & 9 Place Bets are paid 7 to 5.
On the 6 & 8 a $6 bet should be paid $7.20 according to the True Odds of 6 to 5. But, again, the 6 & 8 don't get paid 6 to 5 because the house needs to have the advantage. So, the casino keeps the 20¢. Twenty cents less than $7.20 to $6 is $7 to $6. Hence, 6 & 8 Place Bets are paid 7 to 6.
