Re: New ten second rule

I'm at 15 seconds which does not seem that long when I set the dice. One more item to practice. Is more time spent on the actual grip or do you spend time trying to get the dice set (numbers) correct? There are articles on this Forum that Heavy has to help you set the dice (numbers) really quickly....

Re: Welcome to the Crapless Craps Corner

Glad to see some interest in this thread. WRT your question, when I bet the field it is primarily to fund numbers to be placed; and generally only on shooters with a strong field history. DN8R Nate, I assume you are talking about known shooters / comrades at the table when you made that comment? Do...

Re: Welcome to the Crapless Craps Corner

Pappy Van Winkle taught me to play the crapless as you would regular craps, use the field if field numbers are trending to fund the extremes and other place bets, or fund them from existing place bets. I've observed Parson playing in a similar manner, although he'll also risk $36 on the two or twel...

I usually let them play out for a while then take them down. They are not making me money.

Re: Investing in your place bets

Exactly. Either money works for you or it doesn't. I use this method to finally bring bets down or turn them off when nothing has hit for a couple rolls. But do you start from roll one or do you wait and see? For example I will use the four place bet. On the first hit I immediately take it to $75 a...

Investing in your place bets

Some players like to make a profit from their bets before transitioning to a different play. I like to use my place bets as investments. I consider each bet as a standalone instead of looking at total money on the table and the need to make some of it back before pressing. Using Green chips as an ex...

Re: Hop Bets?

I don't chart at the tables but I keep my eyes open for anomalies if I happen to be around other shooters. I will hop bets on anomalies and I don't think there is anything wrong for anyone else to do it as long as they understand it's for fun and not an exact science. I don't believe in particular a...

Lol, I know all of this. But just hit a bad streak, anything didn’t work, regression, progression, both together, dark side with/without odds. I can’t beat bad luck lol. My throw looked zoned, I had good rolls, bleed out slowly lol. Has to happen sometimes. Can’t always be breaking bank. Loss about...

Re: Is there really such a thing as a "lucky streak?"

It's almost impossible to make money at craps betting table minimums. A $22 inside grind is a killer. One PSO and on the next hand you need four hits to catch up. Another PSO and you're ten hits behind. That's a killer. HEAVY I agree. That's why I start with higher wagers. But that also can be a ba...

Re: Data tracking methods at the Casino....

The problem is that casinos frown upon a mobile device being used at the craps table especially if you are going to use it to track your own rolls. Easiest thing to do is use the chips tracker method (HEAVY can go into details on how you can track your rolls by using 1 dollar chips) or based on your...

Re: New shot---

Jaime, it's good that you are trying new things / new shots. However several of us have gone down this road before. It's called chasing the holy grail. My personal experience is that ANY shot other than on axis (Parr) shot is just random. You might as well shake the dice and roll. Now some will try ...

First off you actually have to believe that trends do exist and then you have to be able to recognize them and capitalize on them. Irish doesn't believe in trends and he states they don't exist. I have to disagree with that remark. Trends and patterns exist all around us and I can show you some from...

Assuming I was the shooter, 5 on pass line and set a point then 6 dollars on 6 and 8. First hit place bet any other number on the line. Repeat until line is full then press. Wait for green chips on line then regress and start over. Go big or go home. However if I had just lost 180 dollars and was le...
