Craps Hard 6
Roll The Hard Six A high risk / high reward operation. The phrase originates from craps where a hard six is achieved by rolling threes on a pair of six-sided dice (3+3). Rolling a hard six has a probability of about 3% whereas rolling six by any other combination has about a 14% chance. You may have heard of the 'hard way' craps bet at one time or another if you played the game. It is sometimes known as betting on pairs or doubles. Basically you are betting on both dice to show the same numbers, such as: 22, 33, 44, and 55. These would be known as Hard 4, Hard 6, Hard 8 and Hard 10. Wanna know how craps pros make money on hard way bets? The true odds of the hard 6/8 are 10:1 but the payoff is only 9:1, giving the casino a 9% edge. And the true odds on the 4/10.

I bet $65 on the don't's and I press it up $10 after each victory. I won like 4 in a row so I had a $105 don't bet and the point was 6. I threw down a $15 hard 6 as insurance. The hard 6 hits and I collect $135 but loose my $105 don't bet. Anyways my hard 6 is still up and I have $105 on the don't's (I considered that a push so my bet stayed the same). Anyways the next point was I think 5. I almost never win the hard 6 the second time but they rolled back to back hard 6's paying me $135 each time. After the 3rd hard 6 I pressed it to $25 thinking no way will it hit but it hit again paying me $225, I then pressed it up to $50 and it hit again paying me $450! I pressed it another $25 but they 7'd out. I colorered up and left. Not bad!
Made a killing on the don't's tonight but the funny thing was it was a single hard 6 bet that really made me money.

Great story. Some of the most entertaining action to watch is the hardway parlay strategy players. I used to see more of this a few months ago before the players that played that way started getting killed.
Craps Hard 6 Payout
I've seen hardway parlays lead up to $10,000 in winnings on a $5 table with $1,000 limits. When a table that normally doesn't have anyone leaving with more than $1,000 has someone taking $10,000, it's pretty exciting for everyone at the table.Made a killing on the don't's tonight but the funny thing was it was a single hard 6 bet that really made me money.

man and I was excited a few weeks back when I put $1 on hard 6 and parlayed the winnings. I won again and upped my bet to $20 and hit again and the point was 6. I upped it to $30 and hard 6 rolled on the come out roll. I did a fist pump and the dealer calmly explained it was the come out roll. dohhh. Next roll of course was a 7.

That happened to me once a long time ago. I wasn't really playing but when this shooter hit 3 consecutive hard 6's, I decided to go on for $1. The hard 6 rolls a few minutes later and I said 'parlay it'. The shooter goes maybe 5 minutes without hitting a 6 and makes 2 points. On the come out roll they hit the hard 6, but I turn my bets off on the come out roll. I was pissed! Then of course they 7 out and my hard 6 never hit.
I also was shooting from the dont's once where I rolled 4 hard 6's in a row! After the 4th one half the table got on the hard 6 and of course on the next roll it comes easy! A few people come back up on the hard 6 and it comes easy again!
Another incredible thing I saw was a year ago somebody hands the dealer a quarter and says 'I will buy the 10 for a quarter' shooter immediately throws a hard 10 and this guy jokingly says 'I said hard 10!' Next throw hard 10 again which he repeats jokingly 'I said hard 10'. Shooter goes on to roll a total of 5 hard tens, 3 of them were in a row and each time the player (who didn't even press his bet) said with a smile 'I said hard 10'. It was kind of funny
Craps Hard 6th
This is totally off subject but two weeks ago, after I got done playing and cashed out I walked up to the table like I normally do just to see how the table did after I left. Two points were marked up. I ended up watching him hit a 6 point fire and roll a *TON* of numbers but nobody was on the fire! And the shooter was playing the passline the entire time with no odds, and it looked like there was a total of about $50 worth of action on the entire table and nobody had more than $100 in their rack. An example is one guy had a $12 8 that kept hitting but he wasn't pressing, another guy was just betting $10 on the field, which you can still get your ass handed to you on a hot roll if they roll a lot of inside numbers, etc... Sad and amazing to watch at the same time. If I started with $81 across I'm convinced I would have made at least 5K off that roll
