Vegas Report – the Lion roars and the Princess shows off

Spread the love


Well — we finally made it home after our June 8 -17 trip

Here are some of the highlights

The Lion:

— A 35-roll with the 4th fire set-up — did not hit
— A MONSTER 75-roll (counted by a GTC student), 6-point fire bet ($10 fire bet) (witnessed by 3 other GTC students (including the Princess)) ….. my BEST roll EVER !! (the Princess had a $5 fire bet too)) …. best part of the 6th point hit was the "10" was my last point and I hit it the "hard-way" with $100 on it (I’m now FIVE rolls away from my 80-roll goal……I’m getting there !!!)
— a few 5-15 rolls……not too much production/profit …. just some practice, basically
— a few point-7’s — more than I’d like (unfortunately)

The Princess:

— A 45-roll with the 5th fire set-up (the 8) — did not hit —we laid $720 to win $600 ….plus, a $80 hard-8 to hedge the bet another level
— Hit four 4-point fire bets — we both had $10 on them — so, some nice wins there
— a few 5-15 rolls……not too much production/profit …. just some practice, basically
— a few point-7’s — more than she likes (unfortunately)

Summary —

—A very good "Net win" for both of us (and our friends) — we also picked up numerous fire bets from random shooters — some REALLY did incredibly well (lucky, I guess) — we had $$ on the table for most of them and picked up good rolls when we could catch them from other shooters

—All hotel and food charges were comped

—Had a great time with of our GTC friends that we saw/played with.

—Made a new friend that wants to take the GTC class (Primer) in Atlantic City (SEPT)

—We had such a GREAT vacation — We cannot wait to go back again

A VERY Important Lesson Learned:

—Numerous Double Captain Morgan & Cokes after midnight (celebrating great rolls) requires GALLONS of water the next morning to recover

Thanks for the trip report.
Congrats on your 75 and the Princess 45. They are both great rolls.

BTW, the gallons of water you had to drink the next morning is because you drank too much coke. 😆

Catch you later!

Thanks for the info …. I had a sneaky suspicion that my pounding headache/dizziness was caused by all of the Cokes

Next time, I’ll order triple Captain Morgans with a "splash" of Coke

Take it easy

CONGRATULATIONS on the HUGE roll of 75 and the monster fire bet!!!!

How wonderful is life when you are with friends and cush with cash!!

Wish I could have been at the table when you were on. Maybe I will catch you when you are on your 80 hand roll.

Pit Boss …. it would be an honor to shoot with you — it tells me that I’ve really come a long way in 15 months

Makes me feel really good to know that fantastic shooters and players that I totally respect for their skills/abilities are willing to put their hard-earned $$$ out there when I shoot

Thanks so much, it means alot to me
