ATTN: Guests - READ THIS FIRST! Register to View Members Only Forums!

Welcome to the original Axis Power Craps forum. Before you register on the forum or get too deep in the belly of the beast, please take a moment to read the posts on this section. The vast majority of the content of this site is for registered members only. There is no monthly subscription charge to be a member, however, there is a one-time $12 Registration fee. This fee is in place to discourage spammers, flamers, and trolls from registering, and to help filter out Spambot registrations on the forum. Should you choose to register and pay the $12 fee, there is no instant gratification when registering! All new members require a two-step administrative approval that includes an IP address verification by a moderator. Again, this is to assist us in keeping Spambots out of the group. We do not accept registrations from IP addresses from countries known to sponsor Spambots, ransomware, or hacking of websites in general, including but not limited to Russia, China, and North Korea. It's ultimately for your account protection and benefit. I promise it will make your stay here much more enjoyable.

Greetings GUESTS.

You may be viewing the forum now and thinking "there's not much to it." There's a reason for that. What you are seeing is the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. The vast majority of this forum is "hidden" from the public and is visible to Members Only. Why? Because there's a ton of sensitive information there we don't want visible to casino security or just any rail bird surfing the Internet.

Of course, anyone can join, right? That's the way it is with most forums. And that's why they're chock-full of spam-bots, flamers, and idiots trying to sell you their latest betting strategy or toss technique that works about as well as some of the quackery medical devices of the 19th Century. So how do you keep these clowns at bay? Simple. You charge a nominal fee to gain access.

Charging a nominal fee accomplishes several things. First, it immediately filters out all of the spambots. Automated computer systems aren't programmed to pay for access to forums. Secondly, it filters out the flamers and system sellers, who don't want to give up their IP addresses, real e-mail addresses, or use PayPal to send the $29 registration fee we charge because they're required to use a credit card or bank account to pay - which would identify who they are. Thirdly, we fund this thing as a labor of love, but it is not without underlying costs. Costs that average around $200 a month on any given year. We pay for our own server space and upgraded security, including privately coded software that's a one-off the average hacker can't crack.

Should you wish to gain access to the forum you'll need to work for it a bit. First, you'll register by clicking on the link on the top right-hand side of the page. After registering you will need to send the administrator (that's me) an email at axispowercraps@gmail.com from the same email address and computer you registered from letting me know that you registered and what username you registered under. At that point I will send you a PayPal link you can use to register - or if you prefer - my Zelle account information so you can pay the registration fee via the Zelle app. As soon as we receive the payment I'll activate the account and send you a follow up email advising you of that fact. I'll also toss in an e-copy of the Axis Power Craps book - retail $19.99, and my 2007 Seminar Betting Strategy book as a bonus for signing on.

There are no annual subscription fees at this time, and I will continue to provide full access to the forum to you as long as you are an active member on the forum. Active member is defined as a member to logs on regularly and posts at least four times a year. If you go more than 12 months without logging in and posting your account may be deleted when we do our annual sweep of inactive members on January 31st of each year. Should your account be deleted and you wish to see it reactivated, you will have to pay a new member registration fee a second time.

NOTE: This bargain registration deal will DISAPPEAR some time in the future. We're planning to introduce an on-line video training platform via Patreon some point, and the Axis Power Craps Forum will be offered as a premium to subscribers to that service. When we activate that service there will be an annual subscription fee of $69 to join and participate in this forum and a modest annual fee to continue membership in the forum. Why? Simply because of the content alone. There are over 73,000 posts contained in the Members Only section of this forum - many from some of the top dice controllers in the country. This is also the only source of the latest version of the signature roll tracking program, BoneTracker. There is more solid, well-researched, CORRECT advice and content on this forum than you will find in ANY craps book or on-line video on the topic of Dice Control OR in any craps book or video by a popular author or system hawker. And again, if you register as a member of this forum we will STILL include a copy of the ORIGINAL Axis Power Craps Seminar Manual e-book as a premium. To top that off, I'll also include a copy of my Betting Strategy Manual as an added bonus.

Although we will be charging the subscription fee to new members at that time, we will also COMP all current subscribers and seminar alumni membership on the forum based on member participation. Seminar alumni will be granted permanent comped membership on the forum. Individual memberships may be comped going forward based on member participation on the forum. If you participate in conversations, post trip reports, etc. then you can expect to see your membership comped in the future. If you "lurk" or go for long periods without logging in or posting, expect to see your membership deleted. Members are reminded via post on the forum and by group email each year that "sweep" time is approaching.

This change is due to the increased cost of maintaining the forum, hosting expenses, web contractor costs, etc., plus the value of the content itself. No one else offers what we offer for so little.

You can register by following the link just below the logo on the top left-hand side of the page. To register you must provide a VALID e-mail address. Why? Because you have to be able to receive an activation e-mail from the administrator. No need to use "private" e-mail addresses. A G-mail, Hotmail, or Y-mail account will work fine. Always check your spam mail for responses, as some major email providers such as AOL filter our content and responses.

We do not accept anonymous registrations, so if you are surfing through an anonymous IP address do not expect your account to be activated. Our software will frequently reject VPN log in attempts and give you a BANNED result. If this happens, switch off your VPN.
All new member IP addresses are checked and verified to insure that the account is being registered by a "live person" and not a machine or spam-bot.

Please do not submit multiple registrations. We just delete them.

If I do not recognize the username you select or your handle you will receive an e-mail (assuming you gave a valid e-mail address) requesting verification of your identity before we will activate the account. You will be asked to confirm what part of the country you are registering from, and will be asked a simple craps-related question. We're doing this in order to keep the spammers, scammers, and casino spies off of our forums. If you choose not to respond to the confirmation e-mail your account will not be activated.

It is strongly recommended that you NOT use your real name as your username. We are very conscious about the potential for identity theft on public forums and recommend you adopt some sort of "casino handle" or nickname when posting.

If you have spam filters that will bounce our e-mails I suggest you add the site as an approved correspondent. The e-mail address we use is axispowercraps@gmail.com. Note that by registering you will automatically be registered to receive our monthly newsletter as well. If you don't want it - you can unsubscribe when you receive the first issue. Simple directions are included at the bottom of the newsletter.

Please note - due to continued abuse by spam-bots operating out of Europe and Asia we are no longer accepting new registrations from those regions.

By registering on this forum you agree to the Terms of Service of the forum. Please read the Terms of Service under the Legal Crap portion of the forum.

Thanks for your interest and cooperation. Looking forward to seeing you on the forum.

Notice to Existing Forum Members:

Today I updated the announcement at the top of the forum inviting Guests visiting the forum to Register as Members. Some of my comments in this announcement impact existing members, so I'm reposting it so it will hit your "recent posts" queue.

This will have no impact on any of you in 2021. Likewise, if you are an Axis Power Craps Alumni it will have no impact on you. Any discussion you'd like to have on these steps should take place on the members only portion of the forum in the VIP sub-board.

Here's that announcement:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Greetings GUESTS.

You may be viewing the forum now and thinking "there's not much to it." There's a reason for that. What you are seeing is the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. The vast majority of this forum is "hidden" from the public and is visible to Members Only. Why? Because there's a ton of sensitive information there we don't want visible to casino security or just any Tom, Dick, or Harry surfing the Internet.

Of course, anyone can join, right? That's the way it is with most forums. And that's why they're chock-full of spam-bots, flamers, and idiots trying to sell you their latest betting strategy or toss technique that works about as well as some of the quackery medical devices of the 19th Century. So how do you keep these clowns at bay? Simple. You charge a nominal fee to gain access to your group.

Charging a nominal fee accomplishes several things. First, it immediately filters out all of the spambots. Secondly, it filters out the flamers and system sellers, who don't want to give up their IP addresses, real e-mail addresses, or use PayPal to send the whopping $12 registration fee we charge. Brilliant, right?

So, let's say you want to join this forum and gain access to the members-only forums and have the ability to post. To do that you must REGISTER. There is a ONE TIME $12 REGISTRATION FEE to gain access to the members only sections. If you follow all of the steps in the registration process you'll eventually end up at a PayPal Page where you can submit the $12 Registration Fee. That fee covers the administrative process and helps us keep the forum updated and spam/commercial free. As a Premium, new members will receive a copy of the Axis Power Craps Manual e-book - retail $19.99 - once the $12 Registration Fee is paid. At the end of the day, the entire offer is better than free. But wait! All good things come to an end!

NOTE: This bargain registration deal will DISAPPEAR on January 1, 2021. Effective that date there will be an annual subscription fee of $69 to join and participate in this forum. Why? Simply because of the content alone. There are over 60,000 posts contained in the Members Only section of this forum - many from some of the top dice controllers in the country. There is more solid, well-researched, CORRECT advice on this forum than you will find in ANY craps book or on-line video on the topic of Dice Control OR in any craps book or video by a popular author or system hawker. And again, if you register as a member of this forum we will STILL include a copy of the ORIGINAL Axis Power Craps Seminar Manual e-book as a premium. To top that off, I'll also include a copy of my Betting Strategy Manual as well.

Beginning January 1st we will be launching our Axis Power Craps Video Training Channel on-line. At that point the Axis Power Craps Forum WILL be available free as a PREMIUM to all Video Channel subscribers. We will also COMP all current subscribers and seminar alumni membership on the forum for 2021. Seminar alumni will be granted permanent comped membership on the forum. Individual membership levels will be designated in the future to help us sort this out on our end.

IF you subscribe before December 31, 2020 for a whole $12, I will COMP you 2021 at no additional charge and still include the free e-books mentioned above. But after January 1st - the deal is done.

This change is primarily due to the increased cost of maintaining the forum, hosting expenses, web contractor costs, etc., plus the value of the content itself. No one else offers what we offer for so little.

You can register by following the link just below the logo on the top left-hand side of the page. To register you must provide a VALID e-mail address. Why? Because you have to be able to receive an activation e-mail from the administrator. No need to use "private" e-mail addresses. A G-mail, Hotmail, or Y-mail account will work fine.

We do not accept anonymous registrations, so if you are using "cloaking" software or surfing through an anonymous IP address do not expect your account to be activated. All new member IP addresses are checked and verified to insure that the account is being registered by a "live person" and not a machine or spam-bot.

Please do not submit multiple registrations. We just delete them.

If I do not recognize the username you select or your handle you will receive an e-mail (assuming you gave a valid e-mail address) requesting verification of your identity before we will activate the account. You will be asked to confirm what part of the country you are registering from, and will be asked a simple craps-related question.

Note that by registering you will automatically be registered to receive out monthly newsletter as well. If you don't want it - you can unsubscribe when you receive the first issue. Simple directions are included at the bottom of the newsletter.

Please note - due to continued abuse by spam-bots operating out of Europe and Asia we are no longer accepting new registrations from those regions. However, if you reside in Western Europe or Australia and wish to join the forum you can begin the process by e-mailing me at axispowercraps@gmail.com and we can discuss it. We do have several members in Great Britain and Australia and welcome more with prior approval.

By registering on this forum you agree to the Terms of Service of the forum. Please read the Terms of Service under the Legal Crap portion of the forum.

Thanks for your interest and cooperation. Looking forward to seeing you on the forum.
