Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

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 ...

The 204 across and regressing is a very powerful tool

Heavy during my last trip to the Beau Rivage a guy bought in for $35,000.Placed the 6/8 for $240 each,$100 on the 5,$35 on the field. Every time the field hit he would move the winnings to the number that hit;if a craps number hit he just collected.After collecting twice on the 5,6,8 he would start ...

AllahPena Generally most players after a long roll regret not been more aggressive.That is because they had been beaten up so much at the tables that they go into a conservative mode That is why I advise players write down your betting methodology and play the same way on day 3 as you would on day 1...

It is nice to hear ,even with tables becoming more bouncy ,there is hope. The longest roll that I have seen is the one I had June 2012 in Tunica ,Ms at the Horse Shoe.I hour 42 minutes in a fast moving game that started to slow down as the casino started running out of chips.There were only 5 of us,...

What is the longest roll you have actually witnessed in the last 5 years? Was it by a controlled shooter or random roller? The reason I have a 5 year cutoff is because there have been so many changes to table configuration in the last 5-7 years to create more randomization of dice Last year at the B...

The time I hop bets is -When a shooter is deep in his roll and there is a disturbance,enough to call bets off. At that point I will hop the number that has been pressed up the most so in case that number hits I dont miss a payoff -A number is repeating significantly;in that case I will hop it on the...

Skasower,you are on target Dont play has to be part of the arsenal Another item we have not discussed on this thread but should be part of the arsenal is taking the juice out of a roll;a good press,when successful ,can cover a lot of sins It eventually comes down to money management;i.e.how much to ...

Further clarification-playing the pass-line from the start increases the initial money at risk;there are many sessions where shooter after shooter may roll a few numbers but never make the point so why not wait for the shooter to prove himself by making a couple of points before jumping on the streak

I start by placing the numbers;once shooter makes 2 passes I also play the pass-line with odds;if I win I bet the winnings and so on. I am a $220 inside better;first hit place the 4 and 10 for $25 each;second hit regress the inside bets to $110 .At this point I have $20 at risk. Once shooter makes 2...

Howard was my first coach a very long time ago when controlled shooting was in its infancy.Over the years we have made trips together.He would advise me on my shooting and I would help him on his betting.In all fairness we have not connected in 5 years so my frame of reference is not very recent. My...

It is very commendable in reading these posts that so many are using some form of regression to reduce risk from the shooter and get to break even in the shortest amount of rolls I would like to hear how our players have applied the same principles to crap less craps Crap less craps seems to becomin...

The hardest thing in the game of craps is to break even on a shooter initially I take two to three hits and regress to break even;goal is to get my money back in the shortest number of rolls;after that one can press to suit their style of play;I do not regress deep into the roll;miss too many key hits
