Power pressing

Just wondering if anyone power presses and if they do what are they? I've seen Snakeeyes play a $15 ten and four, first hit drop $10 more and go to $50 which fills the rack pretty quickly when you get a run!

I' thinking of doing a $18 six or eight, first hit drop $3 more to $42, second hit collect a dollar and go to $90. Then collect blackbirds every hit after. Invest $20 to collect $105 after second hit, gives me 5-1 ratio! Which gives five different shooters to make 3 sixes or eights to break even.

Hi TB,

Not sure if this qualifies, but I like to place the five and nine for $10 each. First hit, drop a dollar ($1) and go to a quarter ($25). Second hit I regress back to $10. Third hit I drop another dollar ($1) and go back up to a quarter ($25). Fourth hit I press to fifty ($50). Fifth hit, I collect. Sixth hit, I press to one hundred ($100). After that, I continue to press, collect, press, collect...etc. (I only press the numbers hitting, if shooter isn't throwing nines it will stay at $10 and vice versa).

I also sometimes start with twelve dollars ($12) on the six and eight, when one hits I press up to twenty-four dollars ($24). Next hit, I press to only thirty dollars ($30), Next hit, I drop two bucks ($2) and ask them to go to forty-two ($42). Next hit I go to sixty dollars ($60). I collect on the next hit. After this, I start to press, collect, press...(Again, I only press the numbers hitting, if shooter isn't throwing eights it will stay at $12 and vice versa).

It probably doesn't qualify as a power press because it is somewhat a conservative play. I'm sure I'll change to a regression then power press strategy once my tossing skills improve. I'm a fairly conservative bettor on myself and try to avoid the randies as much as possible. My tossing skill just isn't yet where I want it to be, too much inconsistency in live sessions.

BD, I do the same with the 5 and 9, starting with $10 after first hit drop a $1 and go to $25, but second hit goes to $35, and then $50, $75, $100. No regression during play.

Snake, I was out for this weekend with prior commitments anyway, but will make a solo mission during the week. Lol

P.s.-Where's Amish's trip report for Thursday and Friday?

On the six and eight move - $18 each - first hit drop $3 and press the number that hit to $42. Second hit COLLECT $50 for $1. That locks up a $28 profit. Then on the NEXT hit press to $90 and get a buck change. NOW you cal collect all the black chips you want.
