Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

I keep wanting to give roulette a try as an alternate sit down game to take a break from the tables.

Unless he's changed his progression, the Parson Press collects that first hit at 80, then goes to 200 on the next hit. A recent small mod Ed and I discussed a while back was on that first hit at 80, dropping 4, press to 100 and rack a black chip. Next hit pays 145, net of the 5 vig and still press t...

The difference with the $36 5/9 in Biloxi is that they auto buy the 5 and 9 starting at $20 (in most places, except for the cheap ass bastards at Harrah's and possibly Treasure Bay). In this case it's to your advantage to bet $36 instead of $35. A $36 buy on the 5/9 will pay $53 (after the $1 vig th...

Don't use Google to try and find it. Use the board search feature for golden double whammy and it will jump right out at you.

Sometimes Google isn't your friend...

620 equates to a full stack each of white, red and green chips. I've moved by standard buy in from 620 to 1020. I sometimes get strange looks from the dealer when I tell him the buy in amount after I throw down my money, but then I tell him I want a stack of green, a stack of red, a stack of white (...

It seems like there were a couple of points that weren't immediately obvious in the original post. I interpreted that "$30 each on all the Inside Place numbers, and $10 each on the 4 and/or 10, with no Odds on the PL to start" to mean $120 inside, including the point, $10 4 and 10 for a to...

Besides Heavy's comments on the merits of betting into numbers that haven't been tossed yet at the expense of ones that have hit, I've never understood the rationale that many people seem to have of placing a number that is established as a point rather than using those same funds as a free odds bet...

I agree with you WC, both on the quality of the Palace buffet, as well as preferring the gaming experience of Biloxi over Las Vegas. In fact, Las Vegas is now in third place for me behind Biloxi and Black Hawk.

Both. It should be detailed in the sub-forum somewhere

But the basic schedule is

15-36-80-80-200

From there, it's as aggressive as you want it to be, once you collect at 200.

Grinder, you need to learn the Parson Press for the 5 and 9. It was built for Biloxi!

I've recently been toying with a layered approach to a 220 inside regression play. It's based on the dominant number approach that I'm a big proponent of. I'll start with 220 inside. First hit, I'll rack the $70. The number that hit stays at the same bet level. The other 3 numbers I regress to a 110...

My approach is similar to Heavy's. The first time I see a shooter, I'm in information gathering mode, watching to see how I want to approach that shooter on subsequent hands.a d base my approach on that Intel. Regardless of the shooter I qualify every one. I'll skip the come out and wait for the sho...

I'm similar to O in my chasing approach. I don't generally change sets to chase a point and stick to my primary inside set to try and continue to hit box numbers. I will change sets to try to snipe last numbers on the ATS. When playing crapless, I'll generally start out with my standard inside set a...

Setting the dices shouldn't take more than 3 seconds IMHO. Maybe 4 if you get short-sticked. Set, gripped and ready to shoot in 5 seconds. Aim, focus and breath - another 4 to four seconds, then dice in the air by 8 seconds unless there's a distraction at the other end of the table. I think the art...

The last class I attended in Biloxi, I tossed two 60+ hands in one day, My longest hand ever is a 75 from a couple of years ago.

The same goes for the 5 and 9 in Biloxi where they auto buy at 20 (except for cheap ass Harrahs which doesn't auto buy until $40,and they'll make it sound like they're doing you a favor). A $15 5/9 pays $21 while a $20 bet pays $29.

I generally do not lay the last number. I'll change sets, based on my coaster group tendencies from bone tracker, to one that is dominant for that last number. The new features in BT have really changed my approach to the game in this regard. I am now a lot more confident in switching sets to try an...

If you're a low roller and not a big presser (i.e. conservative), then it seems out of character to try a strategy that relies so heavily on hop bets. I wouldn't be a fan of this strategy, but it appears to have worked out for you thus time. I'd be wary of it though. Instead of the hops, maybe try $...

on the roll to win game, there is a spot that says "place to lose" next to the lay. what does that pay? The place to lose bet is the opposite of a place bet, much like a DP/DC is the opposite of a PL/Come bet. It's a dark side bet that does not have to go through a come out toss to establ...

I rarely play the pass line when I'm not the shooter. If I'm with other known shooters, and the table has a bonus bet that requires a line bet then I'll have one out there then. Other than that, no. Well, unless I'm playing OHCM or some other grind it out variant on other shooters, then I'll likely ...
