Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

Barigh, I think your question is on a good roll when should one regress? It is a matter of playing style How risk averse are you? Heavy and myself play the 4/10 very aggressively and we do not regress the bets on the 4/10 I also play the Donts but I am not aggressive on the Donts like some of the pl...

Dork/Grinder I am with Heavy; power pressing is the way to go If one catches a run, the money made covers a lot of losses Mentally it is not easy to have $2500 at risk starting from a $30 bet; I look at it that I have my original $30 bet paid off plus thru the press progression I have already put mo...

Last trip I played my 4/10 strategy depicted above
On the last morning a shooter rolled eight tens; that evening another shooter rolled eight tens
Thanks to this press one more good trip and I will be set for the year; that is the power of pressing.

I collect on the inside numbers to break even ;Like Heavy I do not regress on the 4/10 and press immediately 30,100,collect,300,collect,900,collect etc
I need just one repeater on either the 4 or 10 to break even on my 180 across

Thank You 220 inside
I play it a little differently;when two point sevens occur then for the rest of the session i wait one roll after the point is made;after two points are made i dont use this rule for that shooter;also on a good table I ignore the rule

Dont understand the terminology "if the point gets bull frogged " also dont understand " i wait at least one roll after setting the next point"

Thanks Heavy and 220 inside
I am also going to suggest the following
If one did not at least break even on the previous shooter than use the 3 count to avoid the quick seven before placing a bet;go back to original betting style once table corrects itself

A strategy that comes to mind is place the 6 and 8 for $30 each;one hit and regress both bets to $18 each.If roll continues on each hit press one unit.Once one achieves a profit of $60 on subsequent hits spread to other numbers

Any other thoughts?

PeteO Most tables are choppy hence one needs to be prepared to play the right side and switch to the Donts when the table goes south and then back to the right side when the tables turn;key is what are the triggers that allow us to make these switches? If you have given up on the Donts then on a cho...

Howard's conservative betting style was a perfect fit for his personality.He was constantly looking for ways to adopt best practices but always regressed to his conservative style that fit his personality and which worked well for him.I remember spending a weekend with him in A/C where he wanted me ...

Heavy,I have a player who lives in Biloxi who plays your hedge style on unknown shooters to preserve capital.Just like you do a power press on the 4/10 he does it on the 6/8. Whenever I show up he makes it a point to play one session with me .His time is at a premium since he owns two restaurants .I...

There is nothing wrong in the middle of a session to switching to the Donts since within a session 3-4 shooters may support Dont play and vice versa The big challenge is switching to the Donts when your group considers that move bad luck;in such a case just playing the 3-5 count may allow one to sur...

Heavy's latest newsletter outlined some great options when playing the Donts

Most players are right side bettors;Question-what triggers do you use to switch to the Donts?

Dork I am not sure I follow your methodology ;when things become complex I refer the analysis to TGOLD;he has a great mathematical approach to the game You should have a separate side discussion with him The only thoughts I would offer is dont limit your win and if you have increased your bankroll o...

Now that we have discussed the pros and cons of the ATS and the house edge, when I am with a group I will play a $5 ALL/ALL when someone in my group is shooting provided my indicators support right side betting of $160 across or $220 inside.The last thing I want to do is go for dinner and hear the r...

On a 3 day trip one has to hit 3 ALL/ALL"s to get ahead
It is fun when it hits but in general it is a drain on capital;there is a saying among dealers-wish the casino would let us book this bet

I also consider playing in casinos such as those in A/C bad bets.The best bets are in the Mississippi and Colorado casinos . Payoff on a $30 5/9 bet is $44 in Mississippi and $42 in A/C. Per session one is going to be at a roughly $50 disadvantage in A/C playing at the $25 level. Avoid casinos that ...

Thanks Dice Glider and everyone else for contributing to this post;there is no right or wrong answer;just a style of play. There are 2 important points that have come out of the replies to this post namely -capital preservation and reducing exposure by going $204 as outlined by Heavy;2 hits and redu...

r_ventura_23 Nothing wrong with playing every shooter;if you dont it becomes a guessing game on who to play and not to play as experienced by my friend who sat out a monster roll .The more important thing is to understand when to switch to the Donts and when to switch back and is the table giving or...

I get this question ever so often and my answer is yes;now ,depending on whether the table is giving or taking,I may play the Donts but I do have money at risk on every shooter.On Dont play I switch to the right side after 3 rolls if a point is a 6/8;4 rolls if the point is an outside number [I may ...
