In detail, a Hard bet is placed on the belief that the shooter will roll a specific number as a “hard way” before rolling a different combination of that number or a seven. For instance, betting on a Hard Eight means the player is wagering that the shooter will roll a combination of two fours before rolling a seven or a combination of any other numbers that total eight. If the desired outcome is achieved, the payout is generally higher than a standard bet.
Hard Example
For example, if a player bets on a Hard Four, they win if the shooter rolls two twos before rolling a seven or any other combination that adds up to four.
