Hard Eight User ID: 8668963 United States 02/22/2013 03:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | wait....a thread with a post by someone with the handle "Hard Eight" followed by a post by someone with the handle "Nine's".....? Quoting: The Sonic Dreamer Screw it! Gimme a $20 Horn bet and cover all the hard ways $20 and $5, two-ways, and another $20 Come bet! Love craps! If you're ever in Stephenville, TX, The Hard Eight has GREAT BBQ. Dealer, I'll take midnight for a nickel! Midnight is a pair of 6's? I am so confused. I'd like to walk up and make a bet some time and not feel like a fool. I don't care if I win or not, I just want to understand the damn bet! 12 (boxcars, midnight, or cornrows): Wins if shooter rolls a 12. [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] There must be 100's of bets on a craps table. I keep it simple with come bets with single, double or triple odds on top and avoid the proposition bets. For beginners,place bet on the pass line for the come out roll. After a number has been established, place at least single or double odds(up to posted limit) behind your pass line bet. Ex: $5 on pass line. 10 rolls, so shooter must roll a 10 to win before they roll a 7. Place odds behind your pass line bet. Odds on the 10 pay 2 to 1. So $10 odds placed behind the line will pay you $20 and they match your chips on the pass line 1 to 1. In this example you bet $15($5pass & $10odds) and get it back PLUS $25 in winnings. Come bets work the same way but are placed AFTER a point has been established. EX: A shooter has established an 8. You walk up and place bet in the come. Shooter then rolls a 4. Your come bet is moved to the 4 and you place "free odds" on top. Odds pay 2 to 1 on the 4. You get 2 chips back for every 1 placed PLUS they match original come bet if shooter rolls a 4 before they roll a 7. Simple, huh? [link to www.amazon.com] Free Odds on pass line/come bets is the best deal in a casino. You get paid 100%(no house vig) of the mathematical potential of the bet. Odds on 4&10= 2to1, 5&9=3to2 and 6&8=6to5. Pass line wins on 7&11 come out or looses on 2,3 or 12.

We've been looking all over for ANYTHING baby that has daddy on it and can't find a darn thing!LOL Right now, everything has mommy or grandma on it. I guess we'll have to wait until Father's Day to find anything. We did find out that the doctor was ready to deliver baby last Thursday. My sil's father was an anestheologist (if I spelled that right, it's a miracle!!) years ago, and he said the mother gets the steriod shots 2 days before delivery. They gave dil the shots last Monday and Tuesday. I guess he put it off because her numbers had improved. I figure she'll have baby anytime now, because the swing we ordered for them came in yesterday. That was the last big piece of stuff! |
