Catch you later!

Great post. Thanks for the kind words. Reading successful post such as yours makes all of our work worthwhile.

Keep the good rolls going. Hope to see you in AC in the Spring.

Thanks everyone

I am 100% sure that taking the primer class, talking to everyone that weekend (asking questions / being open-minded), and practicing with the shooting/receiving rig (I call it my "chemistry lab") are the reasons I’ve been successful. (Plus, the incredible confidence the class has given me when I shoot the dice)

Thanks so much for all of your help — looking forward to seeing everyone again in March 2014 !!

NICE!! Good rolling!

Veterans Day Holiday weekend…….

I hit my second 60+ roll in a month and also had 4 other rolls of 30+ each

But, the best was "the Princess" — she hit a 6-point fire bet for $5K for both of us

Been one awesome & incredible year for us !!!

Thanks to everything we learned in the AC March 2013 class

great job!

tell us about the sharpshooter bet in Colorado…is that like a fire bet?

sounds good to me,

Happy to read a fellow student success after taking the class. Good luck have some more before the end of the year

TP1,

The Sharpshooter bet in Colorado works thusly. Minimum $1, maximum $25. Make 3 points to earn anything. The wins can be all the same number and not all different like the firebet. Last Sunday I came to a table where the shooter was in the midst of making 7 numbers on the sharpshooter. It payed 50 to 1. A lady at the end of the table had $20 on him!

By the way the "generous" casinos here pay a whole $299 if you hit the firebet for all 6 numbers. Imagine that!! And they get a lot of action on it too.
Disgusting. Maximum is $5 wager in most places on the firebet.

I have only wagered on the Sharpshooter bet a couple of times because it is a bad bet. Maybe $5 a year.

You can see on-line "The Wizard of Odds" for a lot of info on all craps bets.

Good rolling

I really like the sharpshooter bet — just keep hitting the 6 & 8 as points and hit them later to count as the sharpshooter win if 3 points are hit. Not that hard if you can keep hitting the 6 & 8.

BTW, I hit 2 five-point fire bets in the past week — I had the 6th point (it was the 8) set-up for $5K , but could not hit it (i sevened-out with a 4/3 roll). I laid $480 against it and had a $50 hard 8 to hedge it further, so my net win was $350 plus the $1250……less $200 for the 5th point hedge (total net win = $1400)……if that makes sense

And "The Princess" hit 2 four-point fire bets over the Thanksgiving Holiday

Been a GREAT year for us

You guys make a great team. Way to go!

Thanks for the info. on the sharpshooter bet. I like the idea that a shooter still wins with the repeated points. With the fire bet, we have to make that point again and then move on to another number.

Do you know the odds on winning different points? Is there a max number of points that it pays out on?

Does anyone else know of any other states that have the sharpshooter bet? I am in the Midwest, and have not heard of it around here.

Lion,

Again great shooting coming out of the gate!

Thanks

Do you know the odds on winning different points? Is there a max number of points that it pays out on?

—-Sharpshooter bet tops out at 10 points and pays $300 to 1. The min bet is $1 and the max bet is $25. So, the most you can win is $7,500 (also includes a tax slip so Uncle Sam and Colorado will have a smile on their faces
