With the troubles of being in a female body, us ladies have to deal with issues such as our monthly period, cramps, weight problems, giving birth, stretch marks, and wearing very uncomfortable elastic undergarments like thongs and bras. It is no wonder that, at times, we can be a tad cranky.
For my 34th birthday, I decided I wanted to spend it playing craps in Las Vegas. I left San Diego, late in the PM, and arrived at 1:30 a.m. As I began unpacking my suitcase the following morning, I noticed I didn’t have a bra, nor did I wear one on the way up to Sin City because I wanted to be relaxed on the drive up. Instead of rushing to Victoria’s Secret to cover up my chi-chis, I decided to let them hang free, as Mother Nature intended. I could of used duct tape to hold them together so they wouldn’t sag, but I don’t want to deal with ripping off my layers of skin, when it was bedtime.
What men don’t realize is that wearing a bra is a lot of work. They are tight, itchy, prickly, and painful. Even when I was slowly developing, I would get into trouble for refusing to wear one. Being a young lady, as I once was, I was forced to strap these man-making undergarments around my shoulder, arms, and waist, cutting off my blood circulation, meshing my boobs together, and sucking in my body fat. At the end of the day, I would be gifted with red marks, throughout my upper body, only to be tortured in the same way the following day.
When I went to play craps for the first time on the trip, bra-free, my rolls were in the teens and 20’s, which each session profiting. In the following days, I continued my streak, and even had a roll in the 30’s. By the end of the trip, I had thrown the most consistent I ever had. At the table, I felt extremely relaxed, but most importantly, comfortable.
Now, craps is a male dominate sport, so such a topic on women’s comfort in bras would not come up, while analyzing throws. I even buy the more expensive bras, for “extra” ease from Fredrick’s of Hollywood, the black satin with a pink diamond in the middle, at $60 a pop. For any guy that might think a women’s bra may not be an issue when throwing dice, I challenge you to go to the table wearing a bra.
On my next trip to the table, you can bet that the girls will hang loose.

I have to hand it to you for coming up with the most unusual topics. While most of your others have a sports theme as the intro this one beats them all, sans sports metaphors. 😮 😮
I would definitely vote for this for POM. It is informative 😯 😯 , helpful to one of the two genders who partake of this "sport" and something that Dom may have to address in future classes. After all, GTC always stresses being comfortable at the tables. 🙄 🙄 🙄

I noticed that I wasn’t getting as much responses with my sports posts as I was used to when I first started writing them. I don’t know if it was too repetitious or too boring or too predictable. I had to show my diverse writing skills, that it could go beyond my normal sport analogy. It was time for a change.

Vera, I am so glad that you got the time from teaching to write something on the board. I never get tired of your sports analogies, (which I have missed greatly) and now this great subject title that is so catching that any man or women on this board just has to read!
I totally see your point although my expertise in this matter is probably nil since I only wear them on Saturday night …. Oh my God, I just outed myself! 😀
I will leave this very interesting post now because I just got my new Spiegel catalog in yesterday’s mail. 😆 😆

You did en mention that along with the wearing the bra you need to add the extra weight that comes along with them .
Like if you tried out being pregnant you need to add the weight also to get the real feel of it .
Some wear sports bras or some sort of tee shirt that holds them I think but this is really out of my realm .
But I can see wear it would make a big difference at times .
How do you do it on high tables ?
I have problems because I am short with a big POT belly .
Just thinking that if my weigh that is in my pot belly was up 10 more in. and raped with a bra it sure would be a lot different throwing for little old me . 🙂 🙂
O you can come practice at my table any time . Maybe you could convince my wife to play craps . One casino I use to play at changed their tables to tall ones . So I could not even reach the come line so no longer play there .
Maybe this is the best way for you to play . As long as you are winning who cares . I am sure all the other players don’t mind . Some my enjoy it to much tho .
Drunks can be bad at times .
Good Rolling. 🙂 🙂

I enjoy your sports analogies also. That is why I am joining the conversation. When my wife first started to play golf, I bought a golf instruction video. Of course I got one that was made by one of the LPGA players.
In one of the segments, she talked about the one piece takeaway. She mentioned that when forming the triangle, you don’t go under, nor do you go over. Everything moves together. What got my attention was her intentional avoidance of the word breast. Of course bra or braless wasn’t in the equation. One thing is certain, in the dice throw a full shoulder turn isn’t necessary.
Catch you later!

Here’s hoping that more women become craps players! Gloria Stainem would have approved.

Fun and interesting read!!
When Dr Crapology has a female student who needs a little help because they are well blessed and are struggling with the proper throw, he brings them to me. There is a technique that helps with the throw if you are a woman! However, your solution may turn out to be the better solution — no bra. 🙂
I look forward to another GTC function and seeing you. Keep those good rolls working! Take care.

Apart from the obvious differences in the sexes, boobs have mostly been to distract attention away from our throw….an unspoken act, most assuredly. But your story here about comfort and relaxation does bring up a great point for the ladies. We do teach everyone to be at their most relaxed…..but this has never come up in my time with GTC…….or anywhere else. 😀
Great subject….can’t wait to hear some other chime in too!! BTW, a belated Happy Birthday!!!
Kind regards,

However, I’ll look to see what Under Armour can do for The Princess since God has blessed her quite nicely
At this point, I think these posts are headed for the gutter

I always wondered about the disguise you wore the last time you played in Tunica. 😀

Second, your throwing showing that much improvement, no bra, I support you ( no pun intended) in not wearing a bra for casino time.
I’ll relate it this way, similar…playing billiards. If I wear long sleeves, wether an extra shirt, or a jacket, my stroke isn’t as smooth and free flowing as when I"m just wearing a regular short sleeve Tshirt. Thats the only other way I can think of relating it.
It’s my belief, girls with boobies, or noticeably no bra, some how can get away things. lol. Probably won’t worry about your hot streaks. = )
keep up the great dice.
Posted by: Skinny on March 18, 2014, 3:24 pm
In other words there are a lot of things I take into consideration, almost subconsciously at this point, that I do to be comfortable when I am throwing.
