Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

Man, it's been years since I've talked to anyone about Oscar's Grind. I remember me, Dylanfreak, and a couple of other guys used to play the Oscar on the Don'ts way back in the day. I think we all pretty much moved away from it because while it was conservative - we were occasionally getting tapped ...

There you go. And I should probably point out that "take me down" is the ultimate regression.

Well, if you have the tolerance for an $18 six and eight plus your line bet and odds then just power press your way up. $18 six and eight - hit pays $21 - drop $3 and press to $30 each $30 six and eight - hit pays $35 - drop $1 and press to $48 each $48 six and eight - hit pays $56 - drop $4 and pre...

Why not try this assuming you are the shooter . . . $5 Pass Line $24 six and eight Establish point. No odds until you are in a profit position. Hit one on the six or eight pays $28. Regress to $12 each on the six and eight. You now have $2 at risk on the table. If you want to take SINGLE odds on the...

There are a couple of problems with "loose three in a row - change tables" strategies. One is that in this day and age there's rarely another table to switch to without changing casinos. Of course, that might be the right decision. The other problem is the fact that very few players have t...

Hmmm. Interesting answer. Sort of a round-about way of getting there. Let me ask you this. Does it really matter that only two-thirds of the bets will go to a point and have single odds? 8 out of 36 come out tosses will be naturals. 4 out of 36 will be crappers. There's your one-third that do not se...

Okay, I'm not going to actually have you work through calculations to tell me what the odds are on the following bets. But I would like a few of you to take a shot at the following situation. Let's consider three possibilities: 1. You make 100 - $10 bets on the Pass Line 2. You make 100 - $10 bets o...

Very good, wudged. You saved me from having to do the math myself. Everyone on the same page here? Agree or disagree? If we're all good then I'll probably come up with another example for use to play with.

The problem with "no brainers" is that when it comes to live play - most of us don't have one. We just get caught up in the heat of the moment and everything else goes out the window.

Okay, but are you comparing apples to apples or apples to oranges? The wiz's stated house edge on the hardways per roll is 2.78%. But per resolved wager the house edge is 9.09% on the six and eight and 11.11% on the four and ten. The house edge on the triple the field layout is 2.78% per resolved wa...

Come on, Golfer. Take a shot at it. Let's start with a simple given for a random game. Sixty tosses - ten sevens. That means, assuming you're always working both bets - then you'll lose a total of $200 on each bet. Now, out of sixty tosses how many losing Field decisions can we expect? Out of sixty ...

Ba-da-boom. And the resolved Field bet wins or loses $20 on every decision (except on the 2 our 12 where we'll assume we're playing a 2X in the Field layout). Unless a seven knocks them all off, the dice can only knock off one $5 hardway bet per decision. But payoff on those bets range from 7-1 to 9...

Agree or disagree? ACPA put a little thought in it, but I am not sure the answer is as simple as he thinks. Or maybe it is . . .

Okay, I'm going to crank up a thread here where I'll pose a question and we'll let you take shots at the answer. Then we'll see if we can come to a consensus at the end of it all. Let's start with a simple one: Which play costs you more for an hour of continuous play, assuming sixty rolls per hour? ...

Okay, folks. I promised this back before the last bout with stomach flu. Guess it's time to s**t or get off the pot. Sam Grafstein's Inside Number plus Pass Line Method of Play. As before, I'll try to break this down into simple steps. See similar steps above because I am not going to repeat everyth...

Okay, time for a Grafstein quote:

"The greatest gambler in the world has less than nothing to brag about."

There you go . . .

Do not let this stop you from posting those trip reports, however.

I guess I need to look at that odds press schedule. I did an article several years ago on that subject - based on 100X odds games. Hard to find in Vegas, but over in Shreveport/Bossier it's pretty much every game in town. I'm of the opinion that running a multi-step fibo progression on the free odds...

I do not disagree, Sparqee. This is similar to what John Patrick has said about his play for years - if everyone would just learn to play a regression strategy and accept a small win the casno's would have to change the rules or shut down within a few weeks.

Okay, that subject is a little misleading. This is actually a new thread I'm spinning off of another thread that I don't want to completely hijack. It has to do with what system or strategy you play at the table - and why you play it. My contention is that whatever strategy we settle on as individua...

Absolutely requires a non-disclosure agreement with a $100,000 penalty for violating the terms of it. And, of course, for an additional $3995 I will escort you to the casino personally and bet your money FOR you for just 40% of the win (most of the guys who do this wans 50% - BARGAIN!).
