An average of 10 times out of 11, you’re going to lose the bet for the dealer you’re trying to tip. When you bet on hard 6, you win only with 3-3, but lose on the four other ways to make 6 and on the six ways to make 7. That said, the high house edge bets are not my favorite way to tip craps dealers. That way, the dealer and player are temporarily a team, winning together or losing together. The “both ways” meant the $10 was to be broken down into a $5 bet for the player and a $5 bet for the dealer. Translation: The player was making a bet for the dealer. “The shooter rolled an easy 6, a 1-5, and the bet lost, so I never got to see what the ‘both ways’ was.” “One of the players had been winning pretty good, and he put out $10 and said, “$10 hard 6, both ways,” he wrote. One reader wrote recently about a term he’d never heard before. Craps has language and terminology all its own, like “Yo,” or “yo-leven” for 11 and “hard way” for rolling a total with both dice showing the same number – 4-4 is 8 the hard way.
