Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

Great reading about Mr. Grafstein. Thanks everyone for the stories and takeaways.

Thanks for the formula ... Looking forward to the chance to try it. At least for a few hits. My challenge is keeping straight which numbers are hitting. Normally I use chips in my rack but that doesn't always work as I get distracted.

Great advice from all. I've been keen on lay bets on the come out for a long time (usually pair a 4/10 or 5/9, or just one # not all across) but I often hesitate because it is unusual and will slow things down. But a tip here and there "for the effort" does wonders. Thanks for the insights...

I echo the last two comments. In addition, though I respect that not everyone may agree with me, I always tip the dealers, even when I'm not winning big, and in fact even on some losing sessions at casinos where I am a regular and known to them. I've found that having the boys in my corner makes me ...

Great story! Luckily I'm not capable of acquiring such assets even to lose them.

If I'm forced into this situation, I usually will just go dark with a strict loss limit. I'll even wait out decent shooters until I get the dice. I'll make a $15 DP and up to two DC bets with no odds. If I happen to hit a natural I'll press it up to $25 and let it ride from there. If I lose two bets...

I like laying the 4/10 and/or the 5/9 on the come out where it seems like a lot of 7s are being rolled (or even where it doesn't seem that way) because it allows me to play the dark side without any negative vibe from the majority (read: pass line only) of players. If the table is cold especially it...

I'm glad I'm not the only one ....

For me it depends on whether I have locked in a profit. If so, I will set a floor that I will not risk dropping below and will usually leave at least some money in play as long as I am above that floor. until that point I have a shorter fuse with a random roller and usually will take my bets down af...

Last time I was in Vegas the dice got passed to an obnoxious and very intoxicated woman. I figured I'd sit that one out and hoped it would be over soon. She rolled em all and won $175 but only hit the 5,6,8, and 9 a total of 5 times. Miserable roll. But man was I bummed I didn't bet the make-em-all!

Got to add though that I do like laying the 4 and/or 10 only on the come out sometimes when I'm not betting the line, it's sort of a hedge and it works for me when lots of CO 7s are being tossed.

I only hedge on the CO if I've been playing the don't on a chilly table and someone new to the game gets the dice. I figure they think the 7 is good and they are hoping for it because it's an instant winner. In that case it seems that more 7s are rolled on the come out but I'm sure it's statisticall...
