Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

I don't play the hards any more, but when I did I would half parlay them on the 6/8.

Great when they hit for 3/4 times but it doesn't happen often.

Ya found my weakness. Love the HWs. Myself, I watch for shooters that are prone to throw HWs and then bet them. At one time, it was just a standard bet to me. I can assure you I am waaaaaaaaaay behind on winning with them.

I rarely start out with more than a dollar each on the hard ways. I always parlay the first hit. I always press the second hit. So a hard six or eight goes $1 to $10 to $25 to $100.

I only play the hardways when my session bankroll gets sufficiently up to have some mad money to burn, but when I get to that point, I follow something similar to what Heavy outlined above.

The casino may have a Max Limit of $2500 or $5000 .
In my exposure,the Maximum Limit is posted as such and applies to
Pass Line /Do Not Pass....Come Wager/Do Not Come Wager
..............and Place Bets on Box Numbers....................
<
That said :You may find that Prop Wagers (bets) are caped off at a far less USD $
of perhaps $250 or $300 or whatever the Comfort Zone specific to The specific HOUSE
>
Many joints ( casinos ) cap off the ODDS at the MAXIMUM LIMIT posted on the placard
SO EVEN
10X or 100X odds may be the TABLE LIMIT of $1K or$2K , or $5K ( or whatever )
that is the maximum Limit .........

The casino and/or THE CORPORATE NUMBERS CRUNCHER
SELECT
the maximum U S D $ exposure permitted in their club.....
.
Not sure of the total number of U S A casinos offering craps , I could " guestimate "a number and facts could discredit any number I pull out of the atmosphere....
.
Some other player may have an exact number of currently legal casinos...
Bride of Wild Child recently tossed into the shredder my collection of 300~ player cards
I have visited over 25 years in travels sea to shinning sea....
( she spared the few we most often visit ) .
..
Perhaps there are A P C Board members with knowledge of a joint
willing to allow the House exposure to loss to run into greater U S D $ amounts.
You could ask the Box Man the maximum for Prop Action......

Still wagering the table limit and getting a win is an interesting concept

just me saying

I'll always start with a two way hardway, 5 and 1 on the point. If I'm shooting I'll start it off with 10 and 2.

For several years I was successful with the double parlay $1 to $10 to $100 on the 6 or 8 but I never made the triple parlay work. When I had a lot of chips in my rack I would try it without any luck. I currently toss the stickman $5 when I have set a 6 or 8 as my point and tell him $2 each on the hard 6 and 8 and $1 for the dealers on the point. I usually hit one or more hard 6's or 8's on my hands. On my first hit I take $10 and leave $10 on that hardway. If it hits again I Take $75 and leave $25 on that hardway. Only one time in the last couple of months have I hit it the third time and taken $200 and leave $50 on the hardway. That would have been a triple parlay. I have shown a profit on this play - I toss a lot of hard 6's and 8's but I toss a lot of easy 6's and 8's. At one of my regular casinos; the dealers ride with me with their dollar and collect $5 when it hits and leave the other $5 riding with my bet and they are rewarded when I hit it the second time.

I throw way too many soft 6's & 8's to regularly bet those, but I'll make a $1 HW on them for the crew and piggyback a buck for me, so I can work it; if they hit, I press to $5 each and rack/hand-in the rest. As I'm using a modified V-2 mutant - if it's looking good - I will bet the 4 & 10 HW and full press the first hit as they generally come in bunches for me. I like to use the hardways as a means to keep control of the pace, as whenever there's a delay or a disruption, I like to toss in a $1 hardway as my way to regain my control of the momentum.

I like that last part Darth.

I hardly ever throw money on the hardways unless I'm ahead and it's a buck at first like Heavy. But now since I've been using
Dr. Franz a lot of them are suddenly appearing. I will now always go 4 and 10.
