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).

thanks for that , guess i sohuld have guessed tha tis what it meant.....

So if you bet it and it happens... it's good. If it doesn't, it's bad.

Dare I say Ming that your logic is quite amazing.

Go 8 !!!!!
Hey, btw RAH, if you do happen to make a fortune on the 8, I want to see the fastest server on net beeing owned by Apolyton, you hear

Good luck mate.

Rasputin · February 11, 2004, 14:07

mmmm now theres an idea, perhaps mark or dan can give rah a cheque with all of the poly income and get him to put it on the "8"

will have to do a google search now to find out what a "hard 8" means

I googled "Hard 8" and got very few porn sites. This was the first on the list.

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.

Here is the odds chart on the dice for those who wish to know:

And for the "Hardways"

Snowflake · February 11, 2004, 16:16

Congrats rah. Don't forget to bring back some money for your little village.

rah · February 11, 2004, 16:30

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.

Snowflake · February 11, 2004, 16:38

Well you can't get a good investigator for free can you?

alva · February 11, 2004, 16:59

Oh Rah, remember that having two wifes is i fact illegal, so watch out with the booze...just in case....

rah · February 11, 2004, 17:13

I'll just have to remember their advertising slogan.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. (or something similar)

DrSpike · February 11, 2004, 17:34

I hope they didn't mean your money.

Ben Kenobi · February 11, 2004, 19:07

Wow!

Congrats to Rah, for being the next deity.

What a run from 6K, eh?

Funny what being a mod can do for you.

DrSpike · February 11, 2004, 19:15

I think being scared of Panag getting there first was a more important factor early on.

Whatever happened to panag anyway?

Do you want someone to PM you?

If yes, ask Skanky.

CLUB THREAD!!!

Well... I kinda like this club

Spiffor · February 11, 2004, 21:43

And don't worry, there are plenty of people here who'll be able to join this club

GhengisFarb™ · February 11, 2004, 21:55

Congrats, rah!

Don't bet your postcount though. My bad, that got ruled out didn't it.

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

Spiffor, my friend, you should have read through the entire thread that you reference.

For the superstitious people, we'll be there on Friday the 13th.

More power to you then...

Congratulations and have a great weekend...

Here, have a beer.

So how many times have you gotten others to fall for that one now?

And damn you BC for bringing that PM thing back up again.

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...

Paddy · February 12, 2004, 00:23

For someone who last posted only 3 months ago, there is a lot of rumour and innuendo about the legend of that Character

PLATO · February 12, 2004, 00:27

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.

Spiffor · February 12, 2004, 00:57

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.
