Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

I also like to play the $110 inside with a goal of 3 hits before regressing to $66 inside. But I will usually make a regression after 6 tosses if I haven't made the 3rd hit. After going to 66i, say for example 5 is the point, I will press both the 6 & 8 if either hits - drop $3 and press back to...

One of my routine plays at the casino for the past several months is to use a form of Grafstein's pass line press and I usually make more money than loose. You are playing for naturals to be tossed during the hand along with a few points made. Progression I use is $5-10-15-25-35-50-65-80-100 and sto...

RV 23, Agree with all on not working on come out. You made a point and there's a break on paying everyone at the table. All kind of thing can happen on the next shot. Agree with Heavy on hopping 8's. If you set the 8 you have won a few hundred dollars and set a point that has the best chance of repe...

Ditto with RR!

BD, When I feel good about my toss, I like to play $110 inside and give myself 5 tosses to hit 3 numbers. Regress after 3 numbers or 5 tosses which ever comes first. I regress to $66 inside and press up from there. Setting the number of tosses takes the problem out of second guessing yourself of whe...

Dork, I will approach your question from a different angle. There are endless articles and approaches on betting strategies. You just have to practice and see what fits your bankroll, tolerance and skills. If you are not playing frequently at a casino then the actual handling of money along with thi...

I like both the $90 6 & 8 and the $100 don't come plays to make $100. But with the stated $300 loss limit the 6/8 play only gives you one shot whereas the don't come play gives you possibly three shots at winning $100 (loose first, win second and win third - $100 up and gone).

AC, I like that you are always looking for a way to maximize your profits and you put the time in on your practice table to see if new ideas will work. However I believe this idea places too much of your money at initial risk for the profit you are seeking. Risking an initial $255 to net $35 a hit i...

I like to toke the dealers. I know it pays off with the attention they give you. They do work hard for little money so they usually do really appreciate some extra tips. I toke during play and not at the end of play. I place their toke next to my pass line free wager so they know it is a wager for t...

Scout, yes I was basing this on paying vig upfront. Most of my play is in Shreveport in LA and all the casinos there require the vig upfront. I can see the benefit at a lower level paying the vig only on a win.

If I remember from past posts on this subject around $60 is the starting point to consider buying the 5/9. At 60 you are risking $3 to make $6 ( 60 pays 84 on place and 90 on buy with $3 vig). I personally don't consider buying the 5/9 until the $100 level (risk $5 vig to make $10).

I 've played BJ for 30 plus years until I got hooked on craps. But I still play some BJ. I believe the most powerful card in the deck is the UP card for the dealer. That card basically dictates your actions and in many cases forces you to draw cards until you bust.

The strategy I like to use when I feel my toss is on and the table is not crowded is playing $110 inside and regressing to $66 inside with 2 or 3 hits. However I use some rules with this play. 1. Maximum 4 rolls to regress 2. Hits in first 2 rolls I will go one more roll to get 3rd hit, if not then ...

Another old play from the John Patrick play book that works as well as most is placing the 6 & 8 for $12 each. After one hit regress to $22 inside. At this point you have $16 of your $24 back in the rack. After one hit on inside number (plus $7) take all down. You have $23 profit. My twist is to...

I would not bet on the other player with only $20. I have to bet minimum $5 on pass/dp to shoot. That only leaves $15 to bet. With that set I would only play the field. Play some type Fib. progression if you can hit your field numbers. Try for 5 in a row and then regress. Hopefully your point is a f...

The small amount of promo chips I have received could only be bet on even payout wagers (pass, DP, come, DC). If this is the situation then LS's bet looks pretty good.

I understand this exercise is To the Max, but I would approach it from a little different view. I want to get my money off the table as soon as possible and then power press. Play $110 Inside - ie 5 is the point: 1st H - press 6/8 to $42 & 9 to 35 with the $35 won 2nd H - collect 50 for 1 (half ...

Clubfan, I don't think you will normally find better shooters at the higher priced tables. From my experience there are usually some decent shooters at a full table, you just have to look for them. The local folks, the rythemn rollers, the setters, and other patterns observed that produce longer han...

Since Heavy mentioned power pressing, that is what I would do on the first hit. Say 6 is your point, press 4,8 &10 one unit each. From there you need two hits to basically break even. From there you have multiple options. Examples include 1) keep the money up and press the numbers you hit is wha...

Sharkbyte, I am the same way. I want to play when I am at the tables and have worked on several strategies regarding betting on other players. As we all know there is no system that will win all the time. But this is the most productive play I use on other shooters that doesn't expose much cash, min...
