Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

Having read through MP's articles on making your bankroll work 'harder' for you, I thought I would take a poll of what everyone believes their best single bet is. Or favorite, because with transposition, it is easy to find a set that will maximize your opportunities with whatever bet you wish to play.

No combo bets, as I'm pretty sure you actually water-down your overall advantage. So best advantage bet, or what you would like as your best advantage bet.

Not really having anything, yet, I guess I would go with a Lay 5 or Lay 9. The down side being you need to have a fairly empty table so you get the dice back often.

Hopping the 7's.

Can be profitable by skill & focus, or at times by accident.

Still working it through, but it's starting to look like a $30 6/8, press to $42 on first hit, take one hit at $42 and then down to $12 on each with pressing from there on out (is this the Steve 3 - can't remember it's official name - Heavy?). Lately I've mostly been pounding the 6s and 8s (something like the past 6 out of 8 outings have been heavy on 6/8). I'm still not betting a lot cause I'm trying to determine where my betting dollars will work best for me, but getting there.

Usually on a crowded cool to cold table and on someone other than me. If they look like they are setting I won't make this bet on them.
Wait about 5 rolls, Lay $50. No 4 with a $5. Hard 4. I can usually get away with 2-3 wins.

Currently , since my gambling bankroll is between $9000 and $10,500, a $40 DP .

Should my bankroll slip below $9,000, a $35 DP.

When my bankroll rises above $10,500, a $45 DP.

I guess my favorite, best bet is a "watching the paint dry", DP----somebody`s gotta do it.

MP,

I`ll have to do some digging. I have gambling journals going back to August of 2000 when I made my first wager in a casino at a $5 Blackjack table at the Grand in Tunica. I think I can come up with all of them. Most are packed in boxes somewhere . I have exercise journals, journals on auctions which I went to back before 2000 and also journals on my buying of storage units which is now the "new" fad on cable TV. As well as a lot of other journals, some of which I have started destroying .

For someone that hated gambling , I have been very lucky since I made my first wager.

Gail says hello.

I bet you have journals for your garden taters and peppers too!

What really makes you lucky is Gail letting you hang around.

I`ve got journals going back to High School. There are boxes and boxes of notebooks. Some pages are so brittle , they crumble.

I told a co-worker years ago that my life was like a bunch of notebooks. A lot of memories , some that I must get rid of.

I don't know if I would say your life is like a notebook. The reason is I know you always didn't stay between the lines. I think you spent a lot of time in the margins.

Thanks for the comment. If I could only do 10% as well with the dice these days. My buddy DF is a hoot and a pleasure to be around. I dug around the internet and found him when he was missing in action. This site is better when DF is around. I am always looking for bizness down south to find a way to get back to West Memphis or Tunica.

Traveling to Owensboro KY tomorrow and driving back Friday. Thought about Aztar for a drive by session, but remember those tables to be real bouncy. Great VP but the dice wasn't fun.

The golf game was good this year. I got the index back under 10. Let the dice game slide this year, but will give it a shot after Christmas. Might even pull the practice dice out and start gripping and tossing a little. We will see.

Don't forget to Hop the Red.
