Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

I will think out loud here since it is a perfect world casino: On the line: 8 ways to win, 4 ways to lose On the dark: 3ways to win, 8 ways to lose By pass to CO: place the 6 or 8: $30 wins $35 place the 5 or 9: $30 wins $42 Come bet to the 6 or 8 ($5) with $25 odds pays $35 ($5 + 30) Come bet to th...

I sort of like a doey/don't. The CO is a wash but amounts to the same thing as just laying the point in sense. If you do not like the 6/8 for a point when playing the don'ts, take the odds, on the others, lay the odds. In this play, I start with single odds, and as the funds gather, then increase th...

I agree with Heavy and realtime. You have to be involved in the game hands on to learn it. If it is just a mental exercise it simply doesn't stick. On the casino games, start with PL or DP and just hammer it until she understands the ramification of wins/losses/odds/etc. One bet at a time in my opin...

Ole DF is a modest fellow. It has taken him over ten years to achieve this. I believe that MP figured out his yearly return once and it was about 18%. Only in the last year or so has DF accelerated his playing. Still his basic one loss per shooter but he has started laying odds which he never did be...

Hop all the pairs: HWs and HiLo

I will add a little input but this is way above my pay grade as you have too many zeros for me. You have to have faith in the math but taking a $10K hit on that fifth point would have been devastating. Next, even when you won the fifth point, it did not recover the losses from before, I calculate th...

Americraps: I have used that very play but waited on the shooter to make his first point as per Dodging Bullets. It is akin to watching grass grow. A CO seven or eleven does not count. It works, more or less, you will not make much and you will be TUMA the majority of the time you are at the table.

L13: MP has posted a ton on playing the darkside. IF you are not a member of that board, I heartily recommend it. (Dice Institute) Hopefully, Heavy will not bang my noggin for proselyting here, but you are so far behind on learning you need all the help you can get. My personal favorite of his darks...

This was posted some time ago by Heavy, I found it, thought it hilarious, and sent it to him and he posted it. My thinking on it has no changed.

Is playing a system a system? I don't think I would ever understand anyone that had a workable, winning system and sold it, gave it away or whatever rather than winning the mortgage on the casino. Maybe it is an ego thing.

My favorite team betting strategy:
I play a flat DC bet, every shooter, one loss. My partner plays PL same way, one loss only.
Then we drink all the free booze we can stand. Works pretty well. heehee

Here is another play you might want to think about. If you are clocking the shooters and know pretty much what they throw. After the CO, place a doey-dont. Bet travels. IF it is an outside number, lay single odds. IF it is a six or eight, forget it. Keep placing doey-donts to get three working numbe...

Appreciate that WB. I have a poker site I have used for several years (plus several that got wacked and I never got my money back) but I have not found one site I was comfortable playing anything but poker. Just me, I am paranoid about playing online games. Even with poker I am paranoid because of c...

I am sure Heavy will not mind me posting it. If he does, I will not buy his lunch or the fried pies. sia Heavy's Heat Seeking Strategy The last round of trip reports has stimulated a lot of interest in my Heat Seeking Craps Strategy. As a result, I’ve decided post a thumbnail version of the strategy...

Uh, DF you really don't gamble. I am a firm believer in talking out all the gamble I can out of gambling.

Okie: Read up on how DF plays. Never shoots, one loss per shooter. Then read up on Professor H's play and progression. These are grinds. You must have patience out the wazoo. If you are wanting to develop your own system, you might start with MP's most excellent articles on "Dodging bullets on ...

Curosity got me again WB: IF you are going to the Indian joint, are you using this on Card Craps and does it work as well on this deviation from standard craps? I have been looking at the don't systems lately. So far, the most promising seems to be DF's rendition of Professor H's system. That is a b...

DF: MP said a while back on one of my brain farts to place the red to smooth out the 8/3 odds against you on the CO. Haven't tried it yet, but why not.
Might run it thru wincraps to get a feeling for how it will work. I am sure he is referring to PL wagers greater than $5 bucks.

Here I will put in my two cents. Wincraps. Get the free version that will drive you nuts. Learn the bets. Learn the odds, the payoff, the place bets. Wincraps helps tremendously with this. Plan on spending as much time to learn what you need to know as you would spend getting a college education. NO...

Golfer: Hard to do. I seldom lay odds except on the 4/10 on the first couple of rolls when I am doing one of my systems. I am in agreement here with Grafstein that odds weakens the lay bet.
