Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

I played at the Southern Indiana Horseshoe in late Dec during a comped two night stay. The action at the table seemed to favor the Dark Side, so I played DP, DC and a Lay Bet on an outside number. Plenty of random tossers during that session, but one in particular shot the hell out of my bets. I did...

Money makes people do things they typically don't do. Just think about the lottery winners.

http://nypost.com/2017/04/08/he-lost-a-slot-machine-jackpot-because-his-friend-pushed-the-button/ He lost a slot machine jackpot because his friend pushed the button. Don’t let anyone push your buttons. That’s the new mantra of gambler Jan Flato, who lost out on a $100,000 slot machine jackpot beca...

At one of the Ohio River boats, a nugget dealer paid my Lay bets on 4 and 10 at even money. The boxman glanced occasionally and didn't catch it. Made about $150 off her mistake.

Streaks--every gambler's objective is to catch them. They happen, although they're too few and far between. Making a nominal bet on hardways on every roll is not unreasonable.

There've been a time or two that I've bet Sevens turning on the come out roll. There would be a streak of them--four, five, maybe six consecutive sevens. Starting at the $6 level, that's a $26 payout. Press it up at $3 intervals, and during that streak, profit can increase nicely. Not a bad bet, if ...

That's got to be one heck of a roll before I'll get above 25x. I haven't made a Come bet in a very long time, or a Put bet for that matter.

I don't recall the last time I made a Come bet! My Pass odds begin usually at 1.5 to 2.5x the line amount. If the roll progresses, I'll press it gradually with profits from Place or Buy bets.

Don't forget the Streak Shooter bet. Players hit it more often than the Fire bet, but it doesn't pay as much. You're in the money if the shooter makes three passes. The maximum bet allowed is typically $25. The casino at French Lick, IN, allows $50. I like to press that bet with a win from comeout n...
