AhCraps player's Betting History for 2nd week's rolls for T5 Bets 6-10

All bets were made the day before the roll!

Heavy's PlayBook Corner
A weekly report detailing overall and individual strategies of this game
Heavy's Axis Power Craps

It was raining when I got off work in Dallas Friday afternoon. There was a wreck on the expressway and traffic was backed up for miles. Fortunately, I had the radio on, heard the traffic report and exited in time to take the back roads home. Now, the people who stuck it out and stayed on the main road got home too, though maybe not as quickly. The point is - there is more than one way to get where you are going. The two leading sharpshooters are playing significantly different strategies - and yet they are within thirty dollars of each other. There's more than one way to get to the house.

There were some surprises this week - I never thought the current shooter would get past that 3 after the come out in the current hand. And I honestly thought Dice Doc's bold play was going to carry the day. But the shooter got past the second roll, and the third, and there was that four - knocking the Doc out of first place.

We're in a definite "do" trend right now - and the sixes and eights are repeating like crazy. The hardways are showing as well. But all good things must pass. I'd still focus my play on the six and eight - but I'd prepare for the inevitable appearance of the seven as well. And how long as it been since we've seen the 2, 11, or 12? I smell a world bet parlay opportunity on the next come out roll. But in the meantime - I'd be looking to the horn.

Get those prop bets in early, boys and girls. The dice are about to move.

DEALER'S ACTION LAYOUT:   Place $300 #5, $300 #6, $300 #8, $300 #9 Lay $1000 #4, $1000 #10

Reason for bet:   Looking for the streak on inside numbers to continue for atleast one or two more tosses. Hedging with the 4 and 10 again. This puts it all out there but can only be picked off one at a time on the 4 or 10. If the seven shows I am hedged pretty well. Inside numbers are the ticket here shooter...but only for so long.

The term "press" is normally said after a win to designate an amount you want added to your bet. Assuming you did not say $340 inside, I could not tell if you want me to "press to" $100 &120, or press on top of the $50 & $60. But I will assume the lower amount. A "kind-to-the-dealer" instruction should be "make it look like" or "press to". I know it sounds picky but it makes for great instruction ) dealer

DEALER'S ACTION LAYOUT:    PL#5 $25 f/o $75   Place $120 #6, $120 #8, $100 #9

Reason for bet:   "See a horn/Bet a horn" so here is the horn bet. The presence of the 3 says that the roll is about to end, I'm putting some good action on the Hopping Red. Reducing the inside numbers to take a bit of the heavy action off the table. And, of course, the inside numbers are hedged by the lay bets.

Reason for bet:  This shooter is definately off his feed. If he's setting the little 'v' it would explain every roll. The yo is in that set and so is the 5-2. I wish I could hop that specific combo, but at least I'm on record for saying when this is over it'll be the 5-2.

Reason for bet:   OUCH! That stung a bit. One day a champ next day a chump! I believe the seven is about to show. First of all the shooter is trying to make a second consecutive pass and the junk is starting to show. I am looking to catch a little something on the horn and start a progression on The Seven. Too bad we can't hop them. Oh well...

Reason for bet: Here's the regression move, the reason being, the shooter has now thrown 2 numbers that I consider out of the ordinary for this shooter. His signature has been inside numbers, then he throws a trash 3 and a hard 4...the devil is lurking. The reason I decided not to take it all the way down is that this shooter has given me a profit..if he hits an inside number, I'll probably make another regression before pressing....steady as she goes.......
