When placing a Bar 6-6 bet, players are essentially wagering that the shooter will not hit the 6 before rolling a 7. If a 7 is rolled before the 6, the Bar 6-6 bet pays off, while rolling a 6 means the bet loses. The bar bet typically pays at odds of 5 to 1 when successful.
Bar 6-6 Example
For example, if a player places a Bar 6-6 bet and the shooter rolls a 7 on their next turn, the player wins their bet. However, if the shooter rolls a 6 first, the player loses the bet, illustrating the inherent risk involved with this type of wager.
