I suspect people have a whole lot of reasons for gambling, some good, some not so good
but reasons non the less.
I have a few myself, some good, and some i will never understand.
But also for me and i bet for many of you, we gamble or fish or fly or what ever, because
once and awhile..,.not often, but now and then something happens that you will remember.
Craps is like that, you dont remember the all the losses, but your first 30, 40 50 or so on
you remember that.
Last night at the table was a completely forgetable event. I was at stl 2 on a small table
…perfect…. but nothing, no on had anything…at one point i had a 28-30 and got
back to even almost then down hill..
I only bought in for $250 so i was not going to starve Tuesday, but i was not going
to buy in for more. The end opened up and Dennis said you did well from there two
weeks ago try it… i had $75 left so i did and couple rolls looked better but not
really,….. end of story….. had $15 left….. Pit boss said looked like a rough night
you have enough for pass line bet and double odds…. come back of the year and
we laughed.
What the hell, i have left over supper in the fridge for lunch tomorrow.
Come out roll…..6
3v set $5 pass $10 odds no other bet…. i am all in.
8-10 rolls and i got the six. have enough now for another pass line and $6 6 & 8
come out is a 4… i make the 4, then an 8, then 5- 8 eights in a row.
It was not an hour roll, but when it was over i had $200 in the rack and $90
on the table…. bit boss gave me a big smile and walked away….
This was fun… i was all in …. i had to make the numbers that i bet.
Over-all the evening was a not a money maker, but i enjoyed the ride home
as much as if it were.

I am leaving Friday, and wife is coming in with 3 co-workers, to take my room for the week end.
Standing and talking with the pit boss, thanking him for taking care of me, I get the call. "Did you win anything for me? etc…etc…I’ll be there in less than an hour." Similar situation…I have a full tank of gas, and my take home container in the fridge. Oh darn! I have to play again. At this table, all the dealers know my wife and I well, and were really ragging me. Stickman says, "stay focused, and win Karen some money."
Thirty five minutes…the only winning run I had. It was also the best concentration, goal oriented , of anything I had done. I think sometimes, I just enjoy being there too much, and don’t work hard.
I was "all in". For the best of reasons. I would not, and could not, have done this without a proper 401G. It takes the pressure off. Karen was happy, I was happy, and they had a great week end. I went to 5th grade cheer practice, and fund raiser. It doesn’t get any better than that!
Shoot with passion…
