Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

Update on the Cake betting, after 25 books, I am up $17,280 for an average of $.96 per shot. During those 25 books, my SRR averaged 6.30. What I've learned is that you make your money on the long hands, then its kind of treading water for long periods. Is this a viable method of betting? I would say...

Warning- This may sound like superstitious BS, but after years of playing and practicing I've come to believe that the main reason to not WTCO is that it can cause you to think about the seven while you are tossing. I honestly believe your frame of mind affects how you shoot, and a nervous, unconfid...

I wish I had some time to mess around with it. My new career as a truck driver is absorbing almost every waking moment. I get home 2 days a week if I am lucky and those are filled with Honey-do lists.

I messed around with it for a few shots. It actually worked OK, but I was busy with other shots at the time. I'll dust it off some time though and give it a good 10K or so throws.

Hi Jaime- I once played with a guy who had a circular motion toss. He only went around once and he was pretty consistent with it. I remember his toss because it was a pretty hard, low, line drive that hit about 6 inches before the back wall. He was left handed shooting an UH loop de loop from SL1. T...

Hi Jaime1943, Hows the baseball going? I described the betting strategy on page 3 of this thread. It's basically an iron cross with a DP, wotco.

I just had a record hand for me of 61 rolls in practice the other night. I made $11060 using my Cake version of SIAs betting scheme. Its been at least 2 years since I had that kind of hand. Casino Americraps comped me a glass of water and a cookie.

Jaime, your scenario of making money after 3 rolls sounds good, but what about the comeout 7, or even a comeout yo?? Are you working your place bets on the comeout? If so that's a pretty healthy loss that needs to be overcome by a long hand. That is what I'm running into with my version.

$5Bill is doing well, maybe he will post more if you ask him. He's getting much better with discipline too. It's easy to make fun of someone when they post their losses. I've noticed you haven't posted any trip reports EVER. How come?

UPdate time- After 10 books and 145 rolls into the 11th book the BR (started at $2K) is a little north of $11400. I was getting punished for my over aggression for several books and the BR went down to the $6K range. In the last two books I popped off two 40+ plus hands and presto! up to $11K. So wh...

It seems to me that the " losing less " player never gets a big win. Lots of little ones though. That's OK as long as there are little losses and not big ones.

All need to do is wargame it at home for a while. The press moves can be altered to fit your current shooting state. For instance, if you are pounding the 5, then instead of starting small on the 5, start with $25, and when you get your first hit of any number, press it. How much? However much you w...

Thanks SIA, My thinking chair is white plastic and has a big hole in the middle! I don't think I would use this on a table of Randies, but I would use this at a table of DIs. Not till the second and third time around the table though. The first time has the tendancy of being a darksiders round, at l...

I'll put this to bed. The up as you go progression that I was testing doesn't work.
Wild Child and London- You have valid points. I love Crapless craps. Maybe when I'm done with my current project, I'll mess around with it.

LL-Maybe $10K, not $20K, depends on the units. Exponential odds would have crushed on that hand. Lately, I've been rolling like poo. Here's where I'm at-After starting with $2K, I have rolled 5 books plus 175 rolls. My BR is currently $7,110, up $5K and change. Sounds good, but it was $1800 higher a...

I just shot a 47 roll hand in practice and made $2130 playing the hedge with field system. It felt like I should have made more, but my presses are conservative. My best repeater was the 8, at 10X. I started with a $30 8 and ended with $300 eight.

UPdate- Here's where I'm currently at. Book 1- BR started with $2,000, ended with $3188, SRR of 7.06 Book 2 BR started with $3188, ended with $3137, SRR of 5.85 Book 3 BR started with $3137, is now $5802 as of roll # 667, SRR is 7.67. As the srr goes up, I'm getting more aggressive. I'm now starting...

Hi Jaime, Why don't you play baseball? I start $30 DP, $30 6 & 8. Sometimes I work on the CO, sometimes not. What I'm trying to do is to get a field bet out there and rack the first few hits of it as soon as possible. I need to hit a 6 or 8 first to do that. If I was working, and I came out on a...

I gave my version a try and won $1100 on the first book, so I'll try a second book.

OK, here's my variation on Heavys version of Shootitalls play, with nods to Charlie009 and Mike. $30 DP Place 6 and eight for $30 each. First hit pays $35 - same bet - $5 profit guarantee locked up. Second hit pays $35 - place the field for $10 and the five for $15, lockup $10. If the next hit is a ...
