Re: Practice Table

Yes. The ironing board has been the go-to standard for an in-room toss station for years. My buddy Shootitall built a small practice rig that would fit in a briefcase or tote bag that I carried with me for years when traveling. I could set it up on the bed, a night stand or table in the hotel room ...

Re: Let's Build a DON'T Strategy from the Ground Up

A Martingale (double or nothing) is one of the LAST things I'd do. Now, if you want to do Mad Professor's Short Leash, which is in MP's version, I believe a four step Grand Martingale, then knock yourself out. DarthNater will take it out FIVE steps. This is based on numbers I've posted here before ...

Re: 7 Things I Wish They'd Told Me BEFORE I Discovered Craps

Each roll is it's own independent event of probability, bet with the vibe/trend. Just because a 6 is easy to make doesn't mean it's coming in this hand.
I love this one. I once tossed a hand with 23 Sixes and only one Eight. That Eight came just before the Seven. Indicator? I say yes.

Re: What's a good "can't lose" strategy seeking a "big" payoff with a Don't 4/10?

LOL. That's a tough one. I have a pal I play with from time to time who is a high limit Don't bettor. I watched him toss out a $5K naked DP bet (table max) and get knocked off. No problem. He tossed out a second naked $5K DP bet and got knocked off. Now, old Heavy would probably not have tossed that ...

Re: Point shoot or play for the long roll?

I will say that much of this comes down to whether or not you're playing a game within a game on the Come Out or not. If you are using the same set on the Come Out that you're using during the Point Cycle - then you're more likely to get those repeating points. If you're setting for the Sevens on ...

Thank goodness you're not playing at Island View with their trampoline tables.

To make it worse, there are just enough random points made there that it's tough to make it ...

Re: How do you keep track of your chips?

Like 220 inside, I organize my chips with low denomination chips on the outside, protecting my higher denomination chips from rail birds trying to steal a chip from my rack while I'm distracted tossing the dice. So white chips on the outside, red chips next to them, green chips next to them, and ...

Re: Low risk strategy for someone new to DI

Chasing losses and not sticking to a firm loss limit can kill your bankroll over the long run. If you're betting on random rollers you might consider adding a DP or DC to your action before Placing any bets. Take note of how $5 Bill is playing the Don'ts, waiting until the shooter gets three tosses ...

Re: betting strategies for novices

Okay, let's keep it simple. Pass Line bet for table minimum. When they send you the dice look for a pair of fives. They're easy to spot because of all of the dots. If you see a pair of twos - the fives are on the opposite sides of them because opposite sides of the dice add up to the Seven. Take the ...

Re: betting strategies for novices

You shouldn't be spreading more than 10% of your action on any hand. I'd probably go even lower on a bubble craps machine. Maybe 6 - 7%. Let's go with 6% so you'll get a little extra stretch out of your bankroll. That's $24 per hand. If you only want to bet the Six and Eight then Place them for $12 ...

You could play it on a bubble craps machine if you wanted to. It's all about minimizing your downside risk by having no more than two to three units at risk and making your Come bets "earn the right" to have free odds by repeating once without them. Catch a decent hand and you'll make some cash. On ...

Zero dollars. Because I can't really see the point of playing them. Just come find me in the casino. Hand me your money and I'll kick you in the nuts and the end result will likely be pretty much the same. You'll hobble out of the casino bent over, your guts hurting, sick at your stomach and broke ...
