What is the house edge for the Big Slick and Bad Beat sidebets?

Below is a link to the rules from the Washington State Gambling Commision.

Thank you.

The house edge for Big Slick with 6 decks is 6.60% without the bonus and 5.81% with the bonus. Did I read that correctly?

I assume that the high house edges mean that these sidebets cannot be beaten.
