Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

My home casino is a $10 minimum joint. So $10 on the pass and $10 on the 9 WOTCO. Use the 5/9 set and if hits, place the 8 & 6 for $12 each (move the 9 over) and use the 6/8 set. If some other box number comes up other than the 9, I'll keep using the 5/9 set until it hits or the point is made. If the point is made, next bets would be on the 5 & 9 WOTCO.

If luck is on my side, I will slowly transition to the iron cross but not until I have 3 units each on the 5, 6 & 8. Then I'll start farming the field for $12 and use the wins (as long as the number that came up is not a 5, 6 or 8) to 'fertilize' the 6 & 8 by one unit each.

I'm a win or lose it all type, my buy in is usually in the $200-$300 range at my local $5 game, so I've definitely experienced a situation similar to the original question! There are three ways I would play it:

-If I have some time left I will be "boring" and just put down another PL with double odds and then a field bet or maybe some prop bets with the remaining $5.

-If I'm short on time and about to leave the question is moot as I probably would have already increased my odds or threw out some field/prop bets on the last shooter while I was waiting for the decision on that point. i.e. I wouldn't have been left with $20 after my last shooter because I would have already thrown it out on the last hand in some manner.

-If I'm feeling crazy I would do a $10 Hard Eight, and if it hits parlay it, hoping for a $1000 win. If it gets knocked down, put it back up for one last shot.

I would do big Al's march. $5 on the 4& 10. Working on the come out and march down the line. Not a smart move, but it would be very entertaining and very profitable.

Well well well! Nice to see you posting again, Vinylgirl. And as good of a recommendation as any.
