Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

Recently when I've gotten to the casino and the only table running is full, I have exercised my new skill at VP. First game I played was Jacks or Better, taking note of the pay schedules as instructed. Where I play I had to search throughout the entire casino to find only one machine which showed th...

Here's the deal, IMHO. We're talking other shooters besides yourself, right? Random rollers..setters. So what about go in on a minimal basis, say $10 5 and 9 if the shooter comes out inside or meets one of yr other schmarkers. Why 5 and 9. Cause you get 14 for 10. So you take that 14$ and go 6 or 8 ...

I've used it too. It seems like a cheap way to hit all the numbers until you get nailed by the 7. I think Heavy or someone has worked out the "get back to even after being hit" amt you have to make. If you play an $18 6 and 8, $10 5 and field you've got $56 bucks in play. A field hit is on...

The dreaded double Schmarker! Like a flagpole on a winter day with tongue attached. But I digress....

Markers Schmarkers. So many books and articles have been written about this..the shooter makes his point, he's throwing inside numbers and he's qualified.. and then seven out. Play tough craps. You buy in, you see shooters going six rolls and out..the seven seems to be moving closer to pso. I go a D...

Saw this post and had to comment. So..the number 3 horse in the first at Acqueduct has the right jockey, great trainer, runs terrific in the mud (and it's raining like Noah's ark should be worried), has a favorable post position AND ran his last race like 3,2,1, 1 by a length. In other words he clos...

I posted on youtube long ago..not pro done, but it is pretty much how I beat the chop. It's called beating the chop at craps in which I use Wincraps which is completely random..or at least as random as you can get with a computer generated system. Maybe it can give you a few ideas.

Never chase. Gambler fallacy area.

I use a $30 6 and 8 starting 3rd roll if, and only if, I feel my V3 throw is on. Then regress to $18 on each and hard press from $50 for 1 thereon until $180. If I come out with a 3 and then a 10..that's another story sometimes involving a no 10.

I'm a combo. More low roller seeing pro in the distance and slowly crawling towards it.

And you might just buy a car that's been under water in Houston. I once bought a car when I was hitch hiking..cost me $50 outside of Reno. It went 50 miles and the engine exploded. A buck a mile..not bad.

And by the way, do not use casino chips you find on the floor or left over credits on a slot, or any type of money you may find in the casino proper. I was just sent a news clip of casinos..like Ameristar taking people to court for theft and winning. One guy played a left over $2.00 credit and was f...

The DI thing, that I've seen is, apparently "If you can throw it, bet on it." Especially the ATS and hardways. If anybody is playing the repeater, well..

Agree totally LS on the method, but you are not hedging your DP with no 4 or 10 as you are putting out $41 to get $20 but if the number hits..say a 6 you lose your $20 DP and the $41 is still up there. A seven out will get you riches, but a more prudent move, imo, is say $15DP and then a $10 DC. SO ...

Yeah..you lose the $1vig on a loss. It's gone unless you take the bet back. Then they give you the buck also.This is a hedging system play and this is somewhere on the forum I believe. The problem is that a seven wipes out your place bets fast. Dollar yo, of course, won't replace the $25..why not $2...

might be a one roll deal like IC+hop sevens?

Agreed. Now..give us the HofO best betting strategy. Flat betting the P or DP? Come bet? Do you ever bet on other shooters?

Yes. Anyway it was a perverse Iron Cross type bet that is truly terrible and really shouldn't be in this thread "Best Betting Strategy." At least with the regular Iron Cross the six and eight hang around for a while..sometimes.

Here's one for you mad, brave souls. Hop 6 and 8 ten each and $20 field bet. A quick loss of $40 on a 7 or 5, go even on a field number, but do real nice if a 6 or 8 hits. And even nicer if it's a hardway. Saw a guy doing this and he hit a hard six and then a hard eight..right in a row. Still..I was...

In answer to heavy's question re: odds on the don't. Yes. Always.
