Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

I am in the process of adding up all the figures from this year's Craps Play. I should have it posted in the next day or two. We were planning on a New Year's stay in Tunica but due to both Gail and I having bad colds , we canceled our room at GS, so my play for 2013 has ended.

I always like being at the casinos on NYE, but I don`t like playing at the tables on NYE. So I guess , after this Year End Report is posted and I give some thoughts on the year's play ahead, it will be time to begin 2014.

I won't go near a casino (or anywhere outside the house on NYE) so I can give you my full report for 2013 right now:

Got my F***ing ass handed to me.


I'm not sure what column that goes in on my tax return so I'll let the accountant figure it out.

No need to report those losses - although losses can be used to offset any winnings you have have had - but only up to the extent of the winnings.

I sat down with my CPA recently and discussed whether or not I could deduct gaming losses on seminar weekends - since playing in the casino with students is part of the "class." That got a "hmmmm," and an "I don't think so."

Thanks to Hinduman's six point Fire Bet score a few weeks back I am sitting at near an all-time win for the year. I'd have to go back through the spread sheet and total it all up, but that's on the home computer. In any case, I doubt that I'll be posting total dollars on the forum. It seems like the Eye Arr Ess already has me on it's "watch this guy" list, and I don't need any additional Screwtiny.

I will say this has been the second best year for Axis Power Craps since its inception back in 2001, thanks to record video sales and a good turn-out at the seminars and events we sponsored. Thanks to all of you for your support.

"I don't think so." means I don't know...I would look into this some more...

I am happy to report my first winning year since 2006!!! Not a big win for the year, but a win none the less. My secret? Betting the dark side on 90% of random shooters all year long! The one weekend I didn't do that, I lost 75% of my profit for the year. Way to go and break your discipline there Al Falcons! I believe my win/loss % at the craps table was around 65% and around 75% at the baccarat tables. Hell I even was up $30 on the slots for the year, with about $100 in action, LOL

Nice Al. As the Emperor said,"never underestimate the power of the darkside". Or was that Yoda? Anyway, congrats.

Way to go al_falcons.

I'm sure Wolfbyte is smiling down on you and ciphering another Zumma page in your honor.

Hope you have continued success in 2014.

I got home and checked my stats from this year, it was only 69% win at the baccarat tables, and 64% session win at craps. If I hadn't had two 100% buy-in losses at baccarat, I would have come out way ahead for the year. But the way I was playing you have to take the good with the bad. In 2012 I only won 38% of my sessions at the craps tables betting the right side on random shooters. Let's see what shall I do in 2014? 38% win on right side and 64% win are dark side. Seems like a NO BRAINER to me! DARK SIDE IT IS!

I have been reading about the antics of the HSA and the IRA so I guess I am going silent.

The older I get the more I slow down so I will probably not be going to casinos as much during 2014 as I have in previous years. I still enjoy the craps table now that I am not playing with "scared money".

Big Brother is an asshole.

Where are you wolfie? Your insight is needed.
