Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

I have a quick question Lord Nater. If you toss while betting the DP this suggests an ability to toss the devil with some consistency. Is this not harder for a DI person than playing on the right side? As I practice for example, I am slowly able to get more tosses per hand when I gots the rhythm. So...

Mr. Big O, thank you for clarifying the point about "positive thinking" and its impact on our athletic performance. This is the concept that I was struggling to describe and you Sir, nailed it. Yes, there is always some sort of "magic" just around the corner that we cannot predic...

Very cogent responses Mr. Irish. Clearly we practice DI in hopes of not being another Randy. I am still hoping that I can figure out early on that I am watching a stranger toss who herself is a DI aficionado. That way, I am in the game and not charging my bankroll to "entertainment" alone,...

Hi Irish, While thinking about the nature of Karma, I suppose it is both religious and philosophical. I am not a Buddhist so I really am not well-versed in the religious aspects of it. But I kind of believe that one reaps as one sows. Now, about the happy drunks...were they really operating with pos...

Thank you Mr. Irish. You were preparing your very excellent response while I was responding to BD and LS. I am generally in agreement with you. I have just been pondering this random fate, not attempting to develop a methodology of moving it from random to predictable. I leave that to others who per...

Isn't it just being in the right place at the right time? It would seem to me that these events are pure chance. /quote] Right place at the right time is the exact phrase I would choose too. It's just luck - bumping into positive variance and if you catch the action on a hot hand you'll remember it...

While there are aspects of "finesse" to DI specifically and craps in general, I couldn't disagree more. There's no magic. Here's the formula to success. Irish, Thank you for the clarification. However, allow me to say where I think the "magic" exists. Some would call it luck. Be...

All, This was a great discussion. I am wading in as a relative beginner in DI but not a beginner to Craps. In my opinion, there are so many exogenous variables impacting the individual outcomes of each toss that it is observable that sometimes randies who slam the dice into the far wall have pretty ...

Oh how I hate to wade into this discussion. But...I have to say that Irish, while hard ass as hell here, is dead-on correct. I do not claim any deep understanding of probability theory but I do understand that any "projections" made based on that theory contain a "ceterus paribus"...

Heavy, Thank you for bumping this thread up to the present. What a character WWWWWW was. I read through his posts and even though I have advanced degrees in economics and quite a bit of statistics, WWWWWW lost me frequently with his humor. I understand the fibo betting progression and I think I am u...

I was playing VP at the Caesars Palace LV Sports Bar last December. Sitting to my left were a couple of middle aged ladies playing VP and getting really sloshed. When they left, I noticed the one right next to me had left nearly $200 worth of play in the machine. However, the "eyes in the sky&q...

He was a dice mechanic for 50 years and has a book and video out and has crooked dice for sale which should improve you srr. What a charming old fella Jack is. I would be more interested in his stories about getting booted out of casinos. THOSE have to be some great stories. I got kicked off the cr...

I allow myself to put $100/day into the $1.00 Wheel of Fortune. If I get over $200 I cash out. I have been known toward the end of my trip to play the bloody thing down to ZERO after being up $300 or $400. I have hit $1,000 quite a few times and even mistakenly played the $2,000 wheel and won it and...

I am a timid gambler even though I have a reasonably large casino budget. I have difficulty viewing myself as any different than the Rollin Randies and so far Bone Trakker confirms that is what I am. Clearly, I need to practice and I am indeed practicing every day since the new year. I know that bei...

I read Scoblete's book and his 5-count appears to be based on witch doctor nonsense. Clearly, most of the folks we find at the craps table including me and random rollers. Even a random "randy" can have a good run even feeding the chickens. Last June at Heavy's One-on-one class in Las Vega...

I attended a conference last week in Las Vegas (December 11 to 15) and stayed at Caesars Palace where the conference was held. I am diamond tier with Total Rewards and my room in the Palace Tower was comped. By the way I did not file a trip report as this trip was too much conference and too much bu...

He is why I retired from the teaching profession.
