Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

Skasower, it's not that far out, I suspect you're probably right. People hear that $10K number and think as long as I keep below that I'll be fine. $10K transactions will generate a CTR (Currency Transaction Report), correct, but if you actively work to avoid that $10K limit, that's called "str...

Its actually a gamble these days to carry large amounts of cash in the US. The big issue is what's called civil asset forfeiture. Pretty much the police can confiscate assets(primarily cash these days) from you if they want. If you're saying thats BS, they have to charge you with a crime or somethin...

I'd say the move from $80 to $200 is the better play. If going further, next hit drop $10 goes to $500.

I wouldn't worry too much about semantics, it's never universal, for example, your $6 two way, there are some players who actually mean $6 for you and $6 for the dealers. The dealers will clarify what you want when setting up the bet, after once or twice asking you about the bet for a few rolls, the...

The table's at Borgata at still trampolines, definitely for darksiders.

I haven't been theses properties for a bit, but was wondering if anyone has updates for the tables at GVR, Red Rock and Wynn/Encore?

It will depend on the conditions, but if you see a spot has opened up at another table that you want to go to, just take your chips and go. Once at the new table again when appropriate give the box man your players card and explain your coming from the other table and give them a rough approximation...

There was no screaming involved. That never gets you anywhere. Sorry, my bust, didn't mean to say you screamed at dealers, just generalizing. I'm sure we've all seen enough players continually raise their voice to dealers when trying to get the dealers to do something. I could never be a dealer, al...

The better dealers will move on and come back to you if they don't understand the transaction. For example, the move from $18 to $42, usually the dealer will take all your money on that number and just put it in front of the box for them to do. If their not there, they will just count out how much m...

The main issue I have with hedging is that it's cutting into your potential profit. It goes to what the main goal you are trying to accomplish. Is it to make as much profit as possible, make a minimal profit, minimize your losses etc. Those are all different things. If you are trying to maximize you...

Most of us should be thinking "regressing" instead of "pressing." Very true, could do an initial steep regression, like a $60 6 and 8, first hit, make it either an $18 or $30 6 and 8 and then press and then regress again from there. As we all know it's those PSO's with no hits t...

The core issue with pressing your bets goes back to the basics of a betting system. You need to find the right betting system for you. There really is no right press move or increment, it's really what you're comfortable with/what you're bankrolled for. There's nothing wrong with the player that tel...

The big problem with playing the don'ts for most people is at its core there's something they don't accept or like about it. Namely, you are betting more to win less. If your not laying the odds, to me your really not playing the don'ts, I'd say the same if your strategy on the do side was to play p...

I actually ran into this over the weekend. Here was the setup, bought in at a table at SR1. The table was semi-full. All the other tables were full, the next nearest table was a long walk to another casino. It was a a mixture of different types of players. No one really got anything going on the tab...

See a horn bet the field

On a slightly different note, here's a question. A number of us have had this discussion over lunch. Do you feel tokes have a big impact on comp credits (ie: tier points)? If so, how do they factor it into the comp equation? Yes, it can have an impact if you take advantage of it. Here's the deal, w...

But no dealer is going to risk his job to help you out (over a mis-placed or forgotten bet, for example) for a dollar toke. Yeah, no dealer is going to risk their job for you, but disagree about helping you out. Thinking about this, could also be the way people toke. Early on, I let the dealers kno...

Pretty much my philosophy to the dealers is, if I'm winning, you win too. So, I toke as the hand is going along. In a nutshell, I just bet across and toss out $6 and tell them to piggyback my bets and that their player controlled. I do that so that the dealer bets stay up, but like BD stated I just ...

Yeah, pretty much these days, I'm plowing through, I don't really call my bets off. The closest I'll come now is either do same bet or just redistribute the existing action. As memo points out I did toy with calling my bets off if certain events occurred. My findings, it didn't really save me money ...

Well the problem with doing a betting strategy book unfortunately is, it's not one size fits all. It really comes down to comfort zone. I'd say the major thing is regarding a betting strategy is, what are you looking for? Yeah, yeah, I know we want to make a profit, but the question is how much prof...
