Craps

Primer Class Henderson,NV, Las Vegas 2019 Final Report

Spread the love


After playing all of Freemont Street in North Las Vegas I traveled to the strip Sunday night. I played a $10 table on the strip from 4pm to seven pm. Got a hold of the dice three times. My first round lasted fifty (50) minutes before seven out. My second time getting the dice last another fifty or sixty minutes. My third and last possession of the dice last thirty minutes. The box man started to warn me about hitting the wall and reminding me they were giving me the time to set the dice. He wanted to know if I learned by watching Youtube. I told him all the sports I played along with horse shoes really helped. The dealers and floor bosses were very nice.
I also played next door at the sister casino. Played fifty dollar table until drunk tourist approached table. Doubled my money. Got off the table with fifty dollars. Had some good nachos while shooting the shit with concrete convention guys. I approached a table and threw two hundred dollars down and ask for red and green. The dealer informed me it was a one hundred dollar table. A player to my right had maybe ten thousand dollars in chips. He said to me "I wouldn’t blame you for walking away". Funny as hell

Before my departure for Boston on Tuesday night I walked the strip and found an eight or ten foot $5 empty table. No other players around. I started the same way I always start with a one hundred dollar bank. I shot up to twenty four hundred in three hours. Good dealers although one thirty year dealer started to push me into bigger bets and I got sucked in. I colored up and was given a free buffet. I hit hard ways maybe ten time with money on all four. I constantly hit hard four and ten and pressed to ten dollars each. Dealers and waitress made good tips. Played Come bets the whole time. Pushed my odds up to one hundred dollars on 4’s, 10’s and 8 box numbers. I felt relaxed while drinking my waters and lemon. Gallons of coffee. Much thanks to Dominator, No Field Five, Billy the Kid, Dr. Crapology, Alligator Rose, Greenskeeper, and Dough Boy. I left class every day and worked on what you showed me and it payed off on my last two days.

My very last game before the airport at six o’clock was at the Mirage. I had not been rolling for long when this guy yelled out loud from behind me as the dice left my fingers and I sevened out. I chewed him out. A second guy approached and grabbed the corner next to end table position. He threw stacked sixes down the middle of the table while the two men quickly rolled and bet as a team for maybe five wins and then colored up and ran off. I thanked him for the craps schooling. I had to catch my plane so time was up. My memory my be off on the last two days on which day what happened from lack of sleep and playing so many tables and casinos. My bank was up and down but I managed to arrive home with some cash and valuable experience.

I worked on the dice grip that "No Field Five" and the good "Doctor Crapology" worked on with me. Doc’s advice on the thumb placement a little lower and squeezing of the three fingers has helped with achieving a light grip. The come bets are working out great. I had four and five Come bets on my long rolls.
Although I played at maybe twenty different tables since arriving for Golden Touch training, my game really didn’t com together until the last couple days. I was basically unlearning fifteen months of dice throwing from the end in exchange for a new way of technique and betting. I recently visited my local casino and struggled on the bouncy table. I waited for the weekend when the second solid table opens and had one good round doubling my one hundred dollar bank but still struggled. The more I thought about it back at the house I came to the conclusion that the lack of my daily practice and lack of back spin was doing me in. Best Regards

Great read!

Wait for the right table to play on and when you do you will truly become an "advantage player" and the casino’s worst nightmare!

Great post, as your GTC experience grows you’ll realize the advice that Dom gave you about waiting for "the right table". Strive to be an advantage player not a gambler and you’ll be amazed. Little Debbie and I have traveled near and far to checkout tables only to walk away once we see the table conditions. Only on a cruise will we attempt to overcome poor table conditions but even then we know when to walk away. I think I visited that casino with the bouncy table that you talked about and will never go back. I tried it out and on my first throw the dice bounced off the table, I quickly colored up and left. PM me and I’ll share what we’ve learned over the years about table conditions in our area that are favorable for what we are able to do thanks to Golden Touch.

You can still throw on a bouncy table. No problem, here.
Make your target two to three inches from the bottom of the wall.
Any bounce will take your dice into the wall, guaranteed.

Thanks for your response guys. I agree with the bouncy table view. You have to drop it within four inches of the wall but too close can bring seven. It is the table I began playing on maybe fifteen months ago and usually was able to grab the end because of the locals taking up the stick positions. Very poor lighting on the tables. Much different from the hollow door I practice on. The door has a layer of cardboard and cloth. I have found that all my big wins are on Saturday and Sundays when both tables are open with a $10 minimum. Shooting from the end. Practice time thirty minutes to one hour daily. I never play during the week there anymore. Round dice weekdays I call it. I only play with $50 or $100 as I have developed my skill and understanding of wagering. When its working I can walk out with $1400 in a half hour and walk. I played there this weekend the way I played and learned in Henderson/Vegas and the damn dice rolled over like a dog playing dead after stopping. I moved to the second solid table when they opened it and played COME bets from stick right and quickly doubled my hundred with three or four come bets before Sevening out. My wife didn’t like the way the stick man was treating me but he is a young lad practicing what he is trained to do by the casino. The cameras saw me working those COME bets and they all started coming out from break wanting to chat it up with me to break my game. They tried that this fall with a floor boss standing next to me. I rubbed his should for luck and proceeded to roll eights with $102.00 riding for thirty minutes. What a hoot. The dealers in Vegas didn’t come close to that and were rewarded with generous tips while the money flowed. Best Regards

Enjoyed your "after action" mission report. I find it interesting that Dealers would intentionally talk to any shooter who is doing well to throw them off. Here we are placing bets for them, maybe some Dealers don’t appreciate the hand that tries to help them. The move of the Supervisor walking around the table and standing next to you while shooting speaks "loud and clear" he is trying to throw you off. Excellent job maintaining your cool, not sure I would have remained at that table. I plan to be at the two Casinos (next to one another) next week. One has a $5 table to warm up on, then visit next store where the tables are very receptive to the dice. TheUsualSuspect, Semper Fi, carry on
