Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

Played Caribbean Stud at Bally's AC over the weekend. Table didn't open till 8pm on Friday night and the dealer told me that it's popularity has really fallen off over the past couple of years. What I didn't like about the game was whenever I had a powerful hand the dealer did not have a qualifying ...

My wife was having a book club meeting at the house last night so I need a place to hide out for a couple of hours. Read up on rules and strategy an hour before heading to the casino. Like Heavy said, I rented a chair for 2 1/2 hours. $15 min table and most of my bets were between table min and a co...

I don't run a seven's progression......but for "fun" I like to hop 7's on the come-out from time to time. I'm very disciplined when it comes to betting so me betting the reds is like a wild night at a titty bar. Hop 7's buck a piece.....if it hits parlay to $5 each (and $1 any 7 for the de...

When I joined this forum five years ago I expected to pick up some tips on how to play a “smarter game of craps” and to learn about what DIing was all about. What I never in a million years expected was to meet such a great bunch of guys and gals on this forum and actually hook-up and play with thes...

I normally like the $15 DP followed by the $10 DC. It's a strong way to approach the don'ts IMHO. Once I have $25 established like that I just wait for the seven to show and collect my $25 win. However, if I get knocked off either bet then I'll lay single odds on the remaining bet in an effort to r...

All those books Heavy and $nakeEye$ speak of are great and I've read most of them. But the majority of the recommended books above are for the more advanced players. If you've come to this forum and are considering playing craps for the first time all you need is a basic "how to" book on c...

If I'm just looking for a cheap way to play the game then on a $5 game I'll play SIA's one hit - can't miss, bypassing the come-out and starting with a $6 DC. Once it's established play $6 each on the six and eight. One hit on either the six or eight and you are guaranteed a win for the hand. The m...

Sam and John are rather adamant about not playing the hardways, C&E, hop bets, and horn's - as is it is "candy for the casino". All of the PRO players I know won't bet on them, with one exception - When you are a DI and you bet only on the Hard Ways that you are most likely to shoot, ...

AJ and Six shooter - I hear what you're saying about loss and win limits but this is a different question. What if the reason to leave is not your bank roll but the clock on the wall. You've just had a great 3 day trip in Vegas. You flight leaves in 2 hours. You're 1.5 hours into your final Vegas s...

I buy in for $500 and after 2 hours of play I have $480. Or I have $520. I've had fun, been up and down, and now I'm pretty much even but it's time to leave. I'm not trying to press a win. I'm not chasing a loss. I just need to separate from the table. Freak Chances are within your 2 hours of play ...

I've lost more than 2000x $5.00 firebets over the last 3 months, but have won on hedging many against the 4th, 5th points for $100 to $500 at least 100 times. Far to many to keep track. but I've won 5k 2 times on 6 number fire and 5 number 5 times (This was before hedging) long story short, I'm sti...

Wow... Really How many hours are you going to sit at a table playing 5 dollars a shooter waiting for the fire bet? how many 5 dollars are you going to lose? This strategy will only work at a table with some of the most advance DI's. Sorry bud.. Back to the drawing board for you. I'm cheap.............

I try to get 3 hits & I'm DONE for that particular hand. (this is on my OWN shooting). You will have extended hands, & on those hands wherein your shot is becoming "DIALED IN", You have to TAKE A CHANCE, & start your bets again!!! YOU WILL get burnt, sometimes, but I'd rather ...

However, you generally WON'T find me at a table full of randies, but I will play with a couple-few. This idea that you're not a serious DI if you bet on any randies is ridiculous. How true! A couple of weeks ago a group of us from the board did a table takeover in A/C. Sprinkled in with us were a c...

Heavy If I have the dice next, I'm setting the 2V for my come out roll. $10 PL bet........ and since hardways have been rolling I've got $5 each on the hard 4 and 10 working on the CO. Once a point is established I'll back it with 2x odds and then also buy the 4 and 10 for $20 each. Sticking with th...

If I happen to roll an obvious "shorty" I'll immediately toss a two way hard eight and six for me and the dealers just to let the stick know, that I know my roll was short and "thanks" for ignoring it.

It just puzzles my how many players use the C&E on the come out. I can't miss them when shooting UH from SL1. Today the guy next to me who was a $110 inside bettor would toss out either a $20 or $25 C&E bet out on ALL shooters, on every come out roll. Sure he had a couple of nice scores, but...

The primary issue I have with "method" players is often the disruption in the flow of the game. By that I refer to the constant switching of whether your working or not working. Sometimes they call "off" right as the dice are going out and technically the dealer has to dig out o...

On the come out when I'm shooting for horn numbers I'll toss in a $5 three-way craps, high on the Hi-Lo

On randies I sometimes hop 7's on the come out $1 ea. Parlay the first hit, Press the second.
