| Hard
Way Bet |
In
the game of Craps
making a hard way
bet means going for
the total of the two
dice on doubles. Say
you wanted to go for
a hard six, the only
way to do it is with
two threes. It is
called the hard way
because it is not
easy to hit. There
are only four hard
way combinations:
hard 4 (2x2), hard
6 (3x3), hard 8 (4x4),
and hard 10 (5x5).
These are not anytime
one-roll wagers. Hard
ways win if the selected
hard way is rolled
before a seven appears
or before an "easy
way" combination
of the hard way total
is hit. So if you
have a bet on a hard
4 and a 3 and 1 (easy
4) comes up before
two twos (hard 4),
you lose your hard
way bet. |
