Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

No, I made a promise one night on a drive home up HWY 61 that I would never shoot dice again. Now the rovin' gambler he was very bored Tryin' to create a next world war He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor He said "I never engaged in this kind of thing before But yes I think it ca...

Hey DF, Nice wins, thanks for a good TR snuck into Sam Grafstein's topic! I am glad you came out ahead at Caesars Palace. I find those tables just a tad too hard. From SO, I toss too many over and off the table...embarrassing. Thank you for the food reviews too. I have never tried Hell's Kitchen or ...

Thank you folks for giving me a little glimpse into your internal "calculations." I will have to give ISR some consideration and combine it with my inner desire to "lay it on the line" gambling.

But there is always the long hands potential for some of you who are well practiced and getting proficient like BD and some others. So, I believe that the regression whatever it is has to be adequate to get your buy in back while leaving the opportunity open for the 15, 20, or more tosses with numbe...

I think the thrill of pressing up bets overwhelms the rational mind. I am usually surprised when I am tossing nicely when the devil shows up. This suggests that I am still expecting to hit numbers and press bets, not manage bankrolls and get out. By the way, per Irish's question of one leaving the c...

You guys don't remember school. The professor always asks the questions and the professor always knows the answer. I am suspecting Mr. Irukanji drove the professors crazy! Professor Heavy was staging a test. We are at best getting D's in this class. Although, I thought my answer was at least a C-. S...

I only play video poker at the bar. I like to drink and I like playing and drinking. I play Double Double, $.25 and when I hit, I move up to $1.00 for a while just to see if I can catch a ride. VP is NOT like DI craps. Once one knows the right hands to hold, it still bedevils the player who keeps fe...

Richard Jarecki, a roulette master passes. He was a pretty interesting character.

Heavy, I read the thread and it is interesting but it strikes me that it does not matter. Here is why. Starting with your $100 loss. If your Bone Tracker tests consistently point to a higher number of 5s and 9s than probable random tosses, then when you lost it still does not make it a bad bet. You ...

SIA, Your explanation is clear and your concept is good. If one is an accountant or an economist your OHCM method makes perfect mathematical sense. And, of course, anytime one can walk from the casino with a win, even a small one, one has beaten the bastards. The sociological problem is what I think...

If one uses Bonetracker and determines one's tosses are influencing some number(s) more than their expected probability of showing, and one does not bet those numbers, one may not win but you may be controlling the dice like a zen master. skasower...aka...still attempting to practice my way to such ...

Nicely stated Heavy. The dealers were dirtbags in this instance and leaving the table is best to prevent potential injury to the loudmouth dealer from a frustrated guest.

Depends on whether or not the five and nine have even "earned" the right to be bet by being rolled (that's the pseudo-math part). You see, like Grafstein, I believe you only bet on a winning horse. If the six and eight are winning for you - screw the five and nine. However, if you've seen...

Stratman,
Give us a heads up if you come to the States. It would be great to toss some dice with you. By the way, Las Vegas would be a reasonable stop for you on your grand tour! Let us know bubba.

skasower...aka...visits Las Vegas at least quarterly...

I may wind up being a step or two behind on the payouts on those long hands if/when they happen, but I'm also a little less exposed before you get into the bigger payouts. 22inside, I like the thinking behind your Heavy modification. skasower...aka...lucky to toss 10-15 before the devil takes my pr...

Good advice DN8R! Thank you.

What unnerves me is not the DP but the DC. SL1, SR1 can easily bet DP. You gotta get some attention to put money on the DC from SL, SR. By the way Strat Man, it would be great to toss with you someday. Your "nerves of steel" is a role model for me. I am WAY too sensitive about the "ca...

D.N8r I will give it a shot! My next trip to Las Vegas is June 18 and I am working up a betting strategy. I know this string is dark side discussion, but standing at the end of the table then implementing the "transition" means that I have to get ready to toss from the end of the table...m...

Ha Ha N8. Frozen Dice would be extinguishing the flames!

skasower...aka...too afraid yet to play dark side but maybe I will venture it the way BD approaches it.

There are probably plenty of people on this forum that would be willing to lose $500 playing a $5 table over the course of many, many trials/bets, but would not be willing to lose it in a single passline bet with max odds. Mainframe nailed it. This is the very heart of many of us I am sure. We can ...
