Hard way is when the number is made by 4 and 4. IOW a pair of the same numbers.
Snake eyes and Box cars can only be made one way, the "hard" way. Other numbers such as 8 can be made in other combos (5 and 3 or example).

I googled "Hard 8" and got very few porn sites. This was the first on the list.
www.dicesetter.com/hh/heavy19hard8.htm

However, "Hard 6" produced somewhat different results.

I could say congratulations to you Rah, but that would only encourage the spammers to try an reach deity rank.

Yes, Plato, good post showing why the hard numbers are not a great bet. The house percentage is too great. But most of the bets in the center of the table have similar house %.

On the end table bets you can get the house percentage less than 1%, so it's the best place for your money.

Your first table, I had memorized many many years ago.

Hong Hu, our village doesn't need money, it needs better investigators.

I think nobody knows what happened to Panag. For some time, there was a thread where people wondered what happened of him, and someone started asking for a PM to be sent to him.

Of course, nobody sent any PM (since nobody knew), but it started a trend, and throngs of people started asking for a PM regarding Panag

Although in fairness to Spiffor, I had asked him to translate the site that panag was showing as his homepage back when the hunt first began. But still...

panag was well on his way to being in the elite "club" that we are celebrating rah's entrance into. His departure was a significant loss. All kidding aside, I miss the guy. Hope he is "having a nice day" wherever he may be.

I regret the guy too. His unique style gave much more flavour to 'Poly, and I'm sure his constant bickerings with DG presidents made the whole thing much more entertaining.
