Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

It was probably in 2003 or 2004. At the time I was a confused craps player . My gambling bankroll was less than a thousand dollars . When I started going to casinos at the insistence of Gail in Aug 2000 with $100 , I had little desire to gamble. I told her that when that $100 was gone for her to nev...

After dinner at the Atrium --ribeye and pork tenderloin---, I went to the lounge and ordered a dry, Bombay gin martini with olives up. After drinking it , I staggered to the room and was out by 8 PM. Up early , I walked around the three casinos for about 30 minutes and took a shower and got a breakf...

Off to Tunica we go for a one night stay where I encountered a lot of complaining craps players. After checking into the room , my better half went to play in a weekly slot tournament while I went in search of a spot at crowded craps tables . I ended up on a $5 table and began wagering with a $5 DP ...

The position I take so that no shooter hits my Don't Pass chips is either SL1 or SR1.

The Right Side player playing the DoeyDont is giving up a lot of dollars to the casino on the comeout roll when the Pass line has an 8:4 edge and the DontPass wager is at a 3:8 disadvantage. In other words a right side line player is giving up an 8:4 advantage over the casino on the comeout for a 7:...

Well that is why shooters really need to play on empty tables to benefit from ideal conditions or at least close to ideal conditions. On an empty table a shooter can be as loose and relaxed as possible without the worry of chips in the landing zone and should be able to have some super long and prod...

I just quietly make my bet and sit back and wait time and chance to happen. I never say much at a craps table . I play to relax and not worry about the world. The only tables I try to avoid are the ones with loud players , whether Rightside or Darkside, which is why I seldom play after 6 PM on weeke...

The only time a Dark Side player has an advantage over the casino is after a DP wager makes it past the come out roll, even if the point is a six or eight. That is why loading up on odds after a point is established is a good play , as long as the players bankroll can handle it. The only time a Righ...

A realistic win goal according to Professor H is 5 average initial wagers. Playing a $5 PL taking single odds, or playing a $5 DP laying single odds is around a $10 to $11 average initial wager. So a reasonable win goal would be $50 to $55. Since a dice influencer has a 1% to 2% advantage , the same...

I have noticed in the last couple of years that there are many more Darkside players on the craps tables. As a result there is not as much bitching about a Darksider being at the table as there were. Even the Rightside players are now playing the Darkside at times . I think the Rightside players hav...

My favorite places to play the Darkside are any casinos that have a craps table.

Well, I thought when I retired that we would go to casinos more. But since I am older and Gail , also , we tend to go to Tunica less . Our stamina and maybe desire is less than it was. We do get to Las Vegas twice a year now instead of one . Had I gone to Las Vegas as a youth, I think the women, boo...

Cino de Mayo was a sunny day but the ground was wet after all the rains we had this week . Gail`s little home town in the foothills of the Ozarks was partially under water from the flooding of the Black , Current and ElevenPoint Rivers. With the warm sun hitting my face , I was ready for Margaritas ...

Heheh, I woke up and just realized it is the 5th of May. I guess I should go to Tunica to grab a margarita and a senorita. It is a rainy day so what is there better to do? I shall write up a little trip report tonight ; since old age is creeping up, we do not get to Tunica as often as we once did. P...

Now playing the DC instead of the DP using the same 325 rolls as above, I came out with these results: 1) $20 Don't Come wager (Always having a DC wager on the felt) plus $140 2) $10 DC laying $12(10) 15(10) 20(10) (Always having a DC wager on the felt) minus $234 3) $10 DC laying $12(10) 15(10) 20(...

It was a rainy day yesterday so I decided to fool around with the DC. I just finished running the numbers on these three above strategies using a DC wager in lieu of a DP wager. I shall post the results later today. Gotta head to the dentist for a tooth cleaning this morning.

I wrote this down a long time ago when Irish had his website and the Mad Professor gave these stats. 40% of shooters make 1 point 16% 2 points 7% 3 points 3% 4 points 1.2% 5 points 0.5% 6 points Important note from me: The above are for points made only ; these percentages do not reflect come out lo...

Come out naturals are killers.

Irish , I thought this thread was for wagering with $100 , which is all you have for beginning your total gambling life. In this instance a $100 Total Gambling Bankroll and a $100 Buy In at the craps table would be one and the same. However , the better way for Bankroll Management would be to have a...

If I had a $100 Total Gambling bankroll , I would make a table minimum place bet on the 6 and 8 on each shooter. After either one hit , I would come down on both bets and wait for the next shooter. Also, keeping in mind that after I was ahead , I would be making sure that I was going to leave the ta...
