Heavy's Axis Power Craps Forum

Thanks for posting this "oldie" Heavy. I am excited to try it out....someday.

I saw a little movie once with a character named the Dominator. That guy could toss any number he wanted to toss every time. He was amazing. Anyhow, this guy, the Dominator could not turn a -EV game to a +EV game. However, he could have hopped the 9s and hit the nines all day long. He failed to turn...

Did you have fun writing that post? Ah Memo, I spent too many years as a college professor. So, this kind of stuff is just the way I write. Pity my poor wife...this is pretty much how I talk too! :lol: skasower, lives life like its an amusement park (retired in 2009 and started a business in a comp...

Irish, In reference to risk adversity and risk loving, I am thinking that such perspectives are entirely personal. Essentially, how I live my life may appear to you as entirely too risky, whereas I might think that I am not taking extraordinary risks. In such a case I am neither risk adverse nor ris...

If a shooter is really reducing the appearance of the seven, with great regularity (ie: demonstrating skill), it's unlikely that their compensated results are off axis. This is really the goal of DI. Axis Power Craps basically restates this truth. However we set dice, the more "on axis" t...

Yes, rumor has it that they will play with no fans present. This will be strange for the players.

He loses me when he talks about winning $50 at a table, then changing casinos and winning $50 on another table, then changing casinos Heavy, as usual you have hit that nail on its head. The Professor Al early in his video makes sure that the viewer understands that there is nothing illegal or wrong...

HS, Mr. Kaufman provides the weak underbelly of his method when he says: "To lose you would have to toss 8 pass or 8 don't pass losses in a row. That is nearly impossible like catching lightening in a jar." I suggest that 8 pass line losses or 8 don't pass losses in a row is certainly in t...

Yes, but when it is not working...ouch!

I personally like the hardway hedge, although I also think it's cost me money over the long run. Mathematically it's a poor play because you're just giving up additional EV. I hear you Heavy. But many of us are not trying to just "make money" playing Craps like a job. Speaking for myself,...

Thank you for the guidance Jaime1943. I am going to be back in Las Vegas in February on business and I am going to give your approach a shot. My biggest problem is that once in the game, I get invested in the excitement and before you know it I have lost my mind and my money. Self control in Craps i...

My favorite money management move may surprise avid craps players, but here it is: once I realized that I was a Randy myself, I focused more and more on my shooting practice at home. Someday, I want to purchase a craps table for my basement and continue to get closer to the real world at practice. T...

I tend to agree with Irish's approach with a few hundred buy in. However, I would like to also call attention to DarthNader's topic "Vegas Baby! DarthNader Prowls the Valley." In that topic Mr. Darth describes his sessions at Sunset Station, LV where he is really using the same approach of...

Hi Ya Bentonck, You found the path to the holy grail of craps. We cannot be fooled that luck will keep our budget in the black. Only practice and more practice can help. I suggest that you set up a practice rig at home and get some casino dice. Heavy has some nifty ones. I use Aloha Johnny's practic...

I think I am cautiously optimistic but somewhat agnositc on the concept of dice influence. I try my darnedest to set the dice, keep them rotating on axis, and prevent them from hitting the back wall bumper too hard. I try to learn new techniques in dice influence. But I personally haven't seen any ...

There is no avoiding the statistic fact that each roll is an independent event. Assume that there is no dice influencing at all and what you have is a situation where each roll has a probability of landing each of the combinations that appear on the two dice. So, Mainframe is suggesting that for tho...

Dear Darth, calendar conflict will keep me from the Ball this year. However, I humbly nominate Caesars Palace tables. The tables all seem a bit hard (read bouncy?), but most important are the legions of arrogant, money tossing Randies who seem to crowd the tables. This is a situation where the dark ...

I agree with Shootitall that greed factor sometimes gets the best of us. When that happens we usually give back our gains...not advisable. How many times have you said "man I wish I pressed more aggressively" when the shooter kept hitting numbers? Pretty much all of us feel that. But those...

I agree with BD, never bet on Heavy when there is a Ginger alert at the table. But in all seriousness (are any of us really serious?), the one thing I would tell my younger self when I first stumbled on craps was: Do not get so enthusiastic about the camaraderie at the table that you forget whether ...

DoSa, I have never crossed your path bruddah, but as another ol' guy (few months shy of 70) allow me to say, practice is all we got to rely on otherwise the gambling budget is going to pay for those marble and brass "separators" between the urinals in all those Strip casinos in Las Vegas. ...
