Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

I visited the casino Live in Maryland, played for 3 hours, and finally noticed the tables were extremely bouncy and I could possibly use that to my advantage instead of cursing it. My first two times going over the last few months, I bet the pass line mostly with an occasional don't pass and inside numbers and lost one grand each time. This last visit, I bet the 7 on everyone except myself and won over 2 grand with a 300 dollar buy in. I broke even on my rolls, which is better than losing, with my last two attempts an immediate 7 out. If someone made the first point and i lost my dont pass, I switched to the Come with full odds and bet inside. I did not press my bets often, as the table minimums over there are 25 dollars to begin with. In order to offset the dont line losing to a 7 during the come out, I lay'd the 4 for 102 dollars often. I was up to 3 grand at one point but lost a third of it for going in heavy after my first don't bet was knocked out. I also bet a quarter world often, which only profited because one person rolled 3, 3, 3, 7, 12, 11, point. I wish I pressed the horn that one attempt...

My strategy,

If the table is bouncy, bet the 7.
The horn numbers seem to repeat when they show.
Don't assume you can set the dice by watching videos, my carefully placed dice were erratic when tossed.
If the dealer tells you to hit the wall after you have been successful, take your bets down! That 7 comes after.
Don't get too drunk, you bet the horn and occasionally the field for no reason.
Don't give 1000 dollars to your partner because he lost his money, he will probably continue losing.
Laying the 4 seemed to work for me but I doubled up when that 4 came, if two 4's came I would have lost 1/2 my bankroll at the early stages.

Any thoughts?

Sounds good. Congratulations on the win. I am green with envy. My win today $ 75.

Some of my biggest individual session losses have come from laying against the four.

"if two 4's came I would have lost 1/2 my bankroll at the early stages"

Sounds like a lot of over-exposure to me.

I won't often lay the 4/10 in any combination. Two of 'em in succession would be ugly; having to win four times just to break even?? without allowing for another 4/10 occurrence to hinder my recovery? That's pretty tough. Once in a great while I'll take a chance and lay one of the numbers 4/10 if I'm playing the DC and it's just been rolled on the CO, but even that's rare. And if it doesn't pay immediately, I'll take the lay bet off. It's gotta be a pretty bad game for the PL players for me to do that. I know the odds are 2-1 "in my favor" but it sure is tough to cover when it goes south, even just once.

On my last outing, I bet the DC against all the RR's except one. Fortunately I didn't lay the 4 or 10. One guy nailed 6 of them in succession. I know it was six, because the guy to my right was counting as he raked it in. I was lucky to break even on the shooter; your betting strategy would have turned me from shine to shipt on that occasion.

It seems a lot of experienced players have lay'd the 4 and lost on it. I will take my luck and maybe limit the lay to the come out.

7/5/2014 I lost at least $120 laying 4s/10s on RR. Laying 4 on my own come out was sweet.
