How to emulate the fire bet with odds? How would the Sharpshooter side bet be emulated?

If you made 6 points in order, $1 turns into about $330 with fair odds.
They assume it won't come in order in the fire bet; though, you'd either have to bet a lot on the pass line or get 100x odds to go as high as they do. Since it's odds, there is no risk of crap out, you can bet a lot even with a low table limit (Where I play nearby, $300 max with 5x odds; that's $1500 max odds.)
The downside is figuring out how to structure it so you get a pay out on 3-4 points (or sooner) but still get payouts similar to fire bet if you have the expected repeating point numbers.
The Sharpshooter bet is less famous (I saw it at Hooters 2011), It pays on 3-10 winning passlines in a row before 7 out, to my knowledge; crap outs don't effect it.
How would one structure it so it's insured against crapouts? What is the smallest bet (pass line or odds/place?)
If it can be done, it may be much better since these are low house edge bets. I like the idea of a small bet that could grow into something big even if I take other bets down, but the house edge was high and involved paperwork on the rare occasion it hit the big one.
