Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

Recently received info that a casino in S/B is holding craps tournaments each Thursday in June with substantial prizes. I play craps often but I have not played in a craps tournament before and thought I would see if others would share their experience and ideas for tournament play. I have read MP's 4 part series on tournament play and similar info and at least have the idea that it is a big deviation from regular play.

UNHH!!Which joint

Tournaments will be held every Thursday in June.
Tournaments are open to Gold, President’s, and Ambassador card holders.
Registration begins at 5 p.m., and play begins at 6 p.m.
The top player from each qualifying tournament wins $1,000.
The top 20 players from each qualifying tournament day will move on to the semi-final Thursday, June 26.
The Finale winner will drive home in a 2014 Ford Mustang!
See Club Eldorado for complete details.

In short, I would make a large DP bet. Once established I'd make large place bets on the six and eight. One hit and down on the six a d eight. Wait for a decision on the DP. Repeat on every player. On the last 5 to 6 Rolls if I were not the chip leader I would bet exactly the opposite as him. On the last toss of the tourney take everything down and put all of your chips on a come bet. A 7 or 11 will double your bankroll.

Good ideas Heavy. I'll have to try this at home. I never seem to win my own tournaments.

Heavy, thanks for the update and tips. That is especially interesting about the last play on the come bet action.
