Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

Thanks, Heavy! That's kind of what I arrived at after much mental convolution. In a minute I'll post a Trip Report and you'll see what I did with everything I learned in the last coupla weeks.

But the essence of my solution to this problem was that I had decided to book a 25-10 ratio on the Place ...

I don't know how to form the question I want to ask so I hope ya'll will help me pose it...

I live 20 minutes from the casino. I can visit it anytime any day for as long as I want (I'm retired with no obligations). I'm a "small-time" bettor. I buy in for $1020 and my usual play is $135 Across with ...

I need some ideas for replenishing hard way bets... I use a 64-55 set and focus on the H4/10s. I'm on a $15 table. I've been booking $130/135 Across and regressing to 78/81 Across after two hits. This allows a $15 bet on the Place 4 and P10. If I lost a $5 H4 or H10 bet to a soft 4/10, I'd just ...

Thanks for the advice again, Heavy!

Thanks very much to these three players!! Their advice to me has really changed my game.

As usual this is gonna be LOOONG because I'm full of air... and I wanna touch on different strategical changes I've made and why (or who) with advise to get me to "think better" (like a true DI believer, not a ...

Whenever I piggyback dealer bets on top of my own HW bets, I always declare that, "I'm in control". That way, their bets don't disappear when they win. One time, I tossed five Hard 4s without a 1-3 in the mix. Since I was "in control" I pressed their bets just like mine and they made as much as I ...

Thanks, Guys! I was happy to have the discipline to leave having held to the day's 'minimum' win limit. I think I was contented (and maybe "consoled") by the thought that I'd given the table back ~ $150+ to see if there was still potential, but not broken below my minimum goal.

And THAT $150 ...

I was at the table this morning. I buy in with $1020. I had two $100 table coupons which I played one at a time on the PL. First one, 7, winner. Second, 8 was the point and I place $78 Across and bullfrogged the 8, so I was up $200 after three rolls. I thought I'd continue because I felt pretty good ...

Thanks Heavy! I'm away from home and hate reading the tiny script on my phone. I gotta do some research when I get back on the 29th before I can reply. Thanks again.

Lemme raise this thread from the dead.. I read the whole thread and there didn't seem to be a consensus, so I'd like to pose some questions.

1. Entry point into the game - how do you decide when to get on the Don'ts for your first bet?

I try to select who I think are random rollers and give ...

Damn, Heavy, your Ricochet strategy makes me itch all over tryin' to figure out if my strategy is good, bad, or equal...

I like the idea of Laying the point for $200/150/125 to cover the $100 DC and then leaving a lone naked $100 DC bet out there. Of course, at my discretion, I could choose the ...

I'm trying to come up with a decent play for the Don't 4 and 10. Here's my scheme--but it's not well polished yet:

I'll usually wait for 6-7 rolls and then I'll bet $100 DC and hedge that bet some with a $15 HOP-7s, $5-Yo, $1-Twelve. It won't recover everything, but at least $59 if the Yo comes and ...

Thanks, 220! b

Thanks very much for the replies, Guys!

Mark, next time we get together I'll bring my laptop with my BTracker logs. As to "how many tosses were in that book?"--I wasn't citing one book but the best results from various books. The best I've done lately with this new toss is hover at 49.4+ to 51.x ...

This'll prolly be long; I apologize. I don't know how to organize my thoughts so that my confusion is coherent...

I recently converted to playing solely at HR for it's better tables; I took an outing to Treasure Bay with a couple "DIs" and found that it's almost as solid as HR but with a $5 ...

Thanks very much for the detailed replies, Gents!

I've always kept my greens in the middle; I'm pretty sure it's a practice I picked up from reading Grafstein's book for beginners. THANK GOD I found this website and have been weaned off of some of his more idiotic regimens. Law's have mercy... I'd ...

Heavy, would you please move this to "So Craps is New and you don't have a clue" because I don't have a clue... Thanks!

Every once in a while I'll see someone who's stacked their chips in "hundreds" (every 4 greens turned 90* to each other [for instance]), but most players just have them all ...

I may be talkin' outta my asp, because I've never played the Crapless table. But I scoured BTracker for a dice set that would allow me to chase the ATS payoff on a regular Craps table, and the set for me produces what I think is a lot of Outside numbers (2,3,4, 10,11,12). When I'm "on", informal my ...

I like this scheme because it has a built-in stop loss limit--$430. And it reminds me very much of Rappin' Captain's "Come Bet Progression" https://axispowercraps.com/crapsforum/viewtopic.php?p=100890&hilit=rappin%27+captain&sid=2fa169fc640982aac985319a59e85ea5#p100890 which scared the dickens out ...

Thanks, Guys!

Memo, I appreciate your calculations posted. Expressed that way it certainly is a stronger argument than a winning 10x $100 6HW.
