The odds of throwing a 4 or 10 are 3 in 36 or 8.3% vs. 16.7% for a 7 the payoff is 2 to 1
The odds of throwing a 5 or 9 are 4 in 36 or 11.1% vs. 16.7% for a 7 the payoff is 3 to 2
The odds of throwing a 6 or 8 are 5 in 36 or 13.9% vs. 16.7% for a 7 the payoff is 6 to 5

Big Six or Big Eight Bets – Six or eight can be rolled in 5 ways while seven can be rolled in 6 ways. Thus you have 5 ways to win and 6 ways to lose, but the payoff is only even money. This is not as good a bet as basic bets.
Hard Four or Hard Ten Bets – A Hard Four or Hard Ten can only be rolled one way while seven can be rolled in 6 ways (and 4 and 10 can be rolled two other ways). This totals 1 way to win and 8 ways to lose, but the payoff is only 7 to 1. This is not as good a bet as basic bets.
Hard Six or Hard Eight Bets – A Hard Six or Hard Eight can only be rolled one way while seven can be rolled in 6 ways (and 6 and 8 can be rolled 4 other ways). This totals 1 way to win and 10 ways to lose, but the payoff is only 9 to 1. This is not as good a bet as basic bets.
