Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

But but but . . . since there's no such thing as a foreseeable trend at craps you could just stand there making a single bet per shooter and wait for things to change. It could change on the next roll. Yes, you never know when it will change:) I have had a lot of success in the last year or so by p...

$20 DP. Which usually means a comeout 7 or 11, lol. So if I lose go home. Win that, then another $20 DP. Do this until I lose or have $60 in the rack which gives me enough ammo for a couple rolls on the right side. I've had a few incredible recoveries over the years like this. Also have done it with...

Well I avoid them whenever I can, but I would start with a 2 step martingale on the don't for other shooters while waiting for the dice. $15, lose, step up to $30, 2 bets per shooter. If the table is trending warm, on other shooters I would go inside for 2-3 rolls and down. If someone gets on a heat...

Thought I would add in here...I've experimented with a number of don't progressions over the years. I've used one similar to what Heavy mentioned above for years which is the same strategy as DFs cow tippin. I use an 8 step progression. Have tried progressions from 6-10 and over the years settled on...

There are so many ways to press and they all work when the dice behave. The way to have the biggest wins is to press early and hard, but it's also the way to lose your buy in the most often. I too play for long rolls, it's just the way I enjoy playing. IMO, the key when playing this way is to have a...

I goofed, I was thinking you needed to add the cost of the lay (vig), I forgot it is returned when you take your lay bet down. It's been a long time since I used a lay for a hedge and I'm a smaller bettor, my lay amounts usually all cost $1 vig. I'll update my numbers above. Just returned from Vegas...

VDC, I've always loved this idea, but I was never able to work the numbers to my liking. I've gone away from hedging due to the cost, ie there is a built in edge for the casino on every bet. I love the thought of a 1 hit regression strategy rather than a 2 hit. I don't like to lay the 4 or 10 becaus...

I always have and always will play random rollers. The very first time I played craps over 20 years ago, I was on the table for a roll well in excess of an hour. It was a random roller and to this day, it's the longest roll I've ever been on the table for. The monster roll is plain and simple, the r...

I'm pretty sure chucking dice would be a much better career than what I currently do. Unless you guys are professional sportsmen, I could almost safely assume the same would go for you. It would be a dream to make a living off of a fun hobby. When a fun hobby turns into a job it will soon cease to ...

My two favorite darkside strategies... 1) Naked DP and DC. If one of the bets gets knocked lay enough odds on the remaining bet so that I have a profit on the hand. If both get knocked off I'm done with that shooter. 2) cowtippin' (although my progression is a bit different than DF's) Both of these ...

I will often use a come strategy when I am shooting. It's a good way to grind a win out when you are at an emptier table and can get the dice often. It's also not a bad strategy to use when you find the table limits a bit higher than you would like. They way I do it may sound a little crazy but it's...

ive played this way before except only placed 6/8 so was a 6/7/8 play you win $7 any hit and down.. i first played it while on a cruise and wifey wanted to do something i would say give me 5 mins and then lay 320 on 4 or 10.. 48 on 6/8 for a 1 hit $56 win won the first few times then that 5 min tur...

I personally don't like any strategy that uses a lay 4 or 10 for a hedge. There are times where it works great but there are also times when the 4/10 come in bunches. It doesn't take many repeats on the 4/10 to clobber a session using this plan. I've tried this strategy and many variations over the ...

Great stuff dork. The only way to know if you have an edge is to track rolls, lots of rolls. If you have an edge at home you have to assume that you have one in the casino. This said, you seem to be having a higher than average number of longer rolls recently which means that you are riding a positi...

Your success could be a variety of things, it is obviously rather early to say which. It could be that you have "arrived", it could be that your comfort level is simply better, it could be that you are more at ease and dialed in on that table, or it could simply be a "run of luck&quo...

dork, nice report.

I think you left at the perfect time. It's pretty rare to have back to back great hands, no matter how good the dice feel. If that hand had come early in your session you would certainly want to stay but after a couple of hours, color up and run when you get that nice hand!!

Well it's not really that simple, but limiting losses to 1 or 2 per shooter on the don't will generally give you a good chance of walking away a winner unless the table is really hot. It is not a very exciting way to play though. It also takes a lot of discipline to limit bets to 1 or 2 per shooter,...

Yeah, I like playing $15 DP followed by a $10 DC. I don't lay odds unless one of the bets get knocked off. If that happens I'll typically lay $30 - $60 odds on the remaining number. I really like this and use a similar strategy. In fact I've been using it almost exclusively whenever the tables are ...

I guess I feel that I would rather waste all the $200 trying to win $400 then leave when I hit $240. That's fine, everyone has a different motivation at the tables. But it is important to know that your craps play is "entertainment" because with a $200 win goal and a $200 buy-in you will ...

Playing with a small buy-in is tough because craps is such a volatile game. With a $200 buy in, you are really limited to $5 tables or lower if you can find them. If you always try to double your buy-in, you will lose much more frequently than you double it. So this is not a good strategy. If you ar...
