that you can make, and most of those are the easiest ones to make
so they are great for beginners. But there are also some bets
that you rarely hear about or see people make because of the odds
of them winning. One of these bets is called the All Day Hardway
Bet. This is one of the bets that you have to ask the dealer to
make for you. When you make this bet you are betting that the
shooter will throw a specific number 4, 6, 8, or 10 and they have
to be made the ‘Hardway’ hence the name.
The Hardway means that the dice have to add up to those certain
numbers by making pairs, for example to make the winning 4 for
this bet you have to have a pair of twos, to make the winning
6 you have to have a pair of threes, the winning 8 is a pair of
fours, and the winning 10 is a pair of fives. All Day Hardway
Bets can be made at any time during the game but it only becomes
active after the Point has been made. You can bet on any of the
numbers above not only one at a time, the bet remains on the table
following a win but the player may take it off at any time, and
it is removed from the table after a loss.
With the All Day Hardway Bets you must make sure to pay attention
to the dice so you don’t reach for a win when you really
didn’t win that wager. The payouts when you win this bet
are very good, which is the main reason that people make the bet.
For a Hardway 6 or 8 you get paid nine to one, and for a Hardway
4 or 10 you get paid seven to one. This is a one-roll bet, which
means that with one roll of the dice you either win or lose. If
you lose you can either re-bet this bet or bet on something else,
and if you win you can choose to leave that bet on the table for
the next round or take the bets off of the table.
All of the information above about the All Day Hardway Bets will
help you understand how and why to make this bet but if you still
have questions about the bet you should feel free to ask your
