Hey Dork,

I have been using Heavy's press schedule for more years than I care to remember. If used properly it has a built in profit factor at every level.

About a year ago, I had my ten pressed up to 5k (table max)
The hit before, I added 2.5k to my rail. Before that, 1.25k, etc.
I have found that, overall, there is roughly as much on the table as profit made, when the hand ends.
I never feel bad about it.

Sure, I could have taken that 5k down and had more chips when the hand ended.....Conversely, one more hit on the ten would have added 10k. Now, that is a worthy goal. (Still a bit elusive ;) )

These are among my craps goals for 2025. Get a number pressed to table max and get a hit on it. Final stretch goal is to secure a 5 figure session win, which kind of goes hand in hand with the other 2 goals.

take me to table max! "thats the stuff dreams arwe made of" Table max, two full ATS in one hand and triple digit hand were some of the goals i set when i started playing craps. I think on todays tables the triple digit may be the most difficlut to obtain

Thanks, Guys!

Memo, I appreciate your calculations posted. Expressed that way it certainly is a stronger argument than a winning 10x $100 6HW.

Recently I was on a ship with a $10 table and my niece (new to craps) asked me for an inexpensive play that could pay out big. Ok I say, have you ever heard of a parlay? Of course not…. We are gonna call this play the “Everlasting Gobstopper” for kids with little pocket money. Your Aunt sets 2V and throws even and outside #’s. Bet a $10 four or ten and match the hard way # for $2. First hit soft, buy for $25, $2 hard way return. First hit hard way, buy for $25, parlay the hard way to $16 and lock up $2. Second hit soft, collect $49 and $2 hard way return. Second hit hard way, collect $49 and collect $112 for hard way and keep the hard way at $16. Then add additional #’s as you like. Needless to say, about a 12-13 roll hand with an early hard four repeat, the kid added the ten (same setup) and two hard tens showed up towards the end of the roll. It shouldn’t have worked that easily but it was pretty cool.
