How tempting is that?!?!?!?!?!?

I arrived in Tunica Sunday evening around 8 PM after being on the road Sunday for 12. Hours. I am staying at the center property on Casino Center Dr.

I met the Southern crew of former GTC students who have fallen by the way side. We need to start selling charting books, I never saw so many folks charting the throws. It was amazing,, at one point there was 7 of them. Nobody winning, just charting; my bets are off,, no they are on, no i said they were working. The poor dealers and no one tipping them. I was laughing my ass off.

I had 3 craps sessions all with moderate wins using proper betting that GTC endorses on tables where every player lost.

It was to see alot of Senior Players enjoying each others company, I only wish they all with us.

Played a Few hours of VP. and had a winning day pounding the keys also.

More total about tomorrow.

I did forget to say it is Freakin cold here, never got over 30 yesterday with snow flurries hope it warms up.

Have seen that "wayward" crew several times in the past as a couple of different locations. We always simply go to another property. They are a pain in the area below the waist. We personally like several of the guys but they are hell at the table.

Rose and Doc

Day Two wrapup was ok but not great. Played 3 sessions, 2 positive one bad. Overall up for the day and trip.

I am getting a kick out of the"Wayward Crew"as Doc referred to them. Great people but what pains to play with. They make an easy game very difficult for players and especially the dealers. Plus none of them tip, feel sorry for the dealers.

The weather has been sunny but temps only in low 30’s.

VP was s not good yesterday, put in about 3 hours of play and only down $ 100.

Ready for another day of craps play, planning on 3. Sessions and tomorrow off to Shreveport, it is a 370 mile drive so most of the day will be spent driving.

some people just do not know the difference between sheep dip and marbuckles coffee.

Day 3 wrap up was alot of play. 4 craps sessions, winning 3 of 4.

3 hours of VP losing $ 20., not bad. Also played BJ for a few hours and won $ 50.00

Off to bed early, leaving for Shreveport at 4:30 am.

Day 4 recap drove to Shreveport in rain, lucky no snow.

380 mile drive taking my time. Have to pick up Luck Be A Lady at the airport at 2:30.

Check on her flight and see it will be late so I decide to check in at the horseshoe. Time to kill so I cruise the casino and the UltimateX is calling me. My 3rd hand I get 4 Aces but no kicker or multiplier, damn. Happy it gives me money to play with. My 10th hand I get 4 Aces again, no ki?cyber but a 3 times multipliers. Play. For an hour and then head to airport. Pick up LBAL and head to Horseshoe.

More to follow .

Thursday evening with Luck Be A Lady had dinner(late lunch) before we played. Played for a few hours, I made a few bucks, dice looked good feel real good. "LBAL" threw a few times and her dice looked good also. Dean H was also at the table.

Played a little Ultimate X VP, cashed out up $30.00

Off to bed, long day of play on Friday

Friday morning craps session was a plus. Again we threw the dice great but did not have any hands thhar were in the ‘s, mid to high teens.

Talked to TommyC and he will be arriving later today.

Took a break and played VP in between craps sessions.

Going to the Jerry Value "Four Seasons" concert tonight so we will be playing late.

Concert was just OK, , I didn’t care for song selection, left before it ended, rather play.

TommyC. Arrived and we all played, good session but nothing spectacular. Cashed out up $60.00 going to bed.

Sat. I woke up late, 8:00 am. Jan, dale and LBAL started playing at 8:00, I was late.

Threw the dice great but nothing extended, my 3rd hand I was so passed, all set to make money, 4 numbers with big odds and I threw a knuckle ball 7 out, so passed off.

Dice are just coming mb g out of my hand great.

Color up down 79 bucks, should have been a big win.

MikeS from Dallas iscalso here.

Afternoon session I feel good,, TommyC and LBAL are with me at the table. Nothing on 1st hand, Tommy gets a call from Sasha, his daughter. She is taking son to hospital, he got bitten by an insect and his Han is swelling, going to hospital. Tommy leaves to go see his grandson.

2Nd hand is the bomb, 5 number fire bet, made 11 passes, 8 3 times, 4 4 times, only needed the 10 when I 7 out.

Huge win, color up and take a break. Only LBAL and I were playing and Dale H was watching, he did not v want to buy in in the middle of my hand, great table etiquette.

LBAL and I go to play VP, while we are playing she says to me i never hit any big hands after I hit 4 aces for $800.00. I tell her she will and 10 minutes she hits the 4 deuces for $ 250,00, she is now happy.

More to this story.

Bob.
You are having a great adventure and I am right here with you on my iPad It is nice to see the anchor of GTC on the road, doing it just like we teach it. You are living proof of the credibility of GTC. A practiced toss, betting into your edge, table manners, and yes the grip. Wish I was there with you.

Goldfinger II

Sat morning session was down $75.00

Played video poker for an hour and was plus 20.00.

Went to room to rest and met Tommy at 4:00 pm. Went to an empty table, LBAL at SR2. Feeder at SR1, Tommyc and I are on left side. We all throw short hands and Tommy get a phone call from his daughter and v his grandson was stung by. Something and Sasha is on the way to the hospital. Tommyc leaves and we keep playing. LBAL has a mediocre hand and the dice come to e. It happens on this hand.

I throw a 5 number fire bet but I have 11 passes in the hand and never thres a 10, my favorite number. I made the 8 3 times as a point. The 4. / 4 times as the point. The 6 3 times as a point, now I have 4 to the fire. Come out role was a 5 (5th number) and I come right back with it. Now I only need the 10 for. All 6, come out roll, another. 6 as the point hit 2 8’s thenthrow the RED.

Great hand. Great money hand. Onlyin the low 40,,s.

Saturday evening we playfor a few hours, bad conditions too crowded. Go ad playVP

VP then go to bed.

Sunday we play VP until Tommyc drives back with Stasha and S c off to play. (Son is ok)

We go to. Brunch and then play.

Stasha opens up with a monster in high ‘s or maybe low 50’s. Hugh win for all.

Rest ofvsession was so so we all colored up positive.
Play 2 more sessions very uneventful. Then go to bed. Off to Biloxi tomorrow, a 6 hour drive. Will probably not play after the long drive.

Arrive Biloxi around 4:30 check in and cruise the casino. Terrible place,, only 2 craps table’s both microfiber with all tall and small feature bet on 14 footer. Very little VP and not a great place. Planning on switching casinos on Tuesday.

We have dinner and check out the casino. . We like what we see, go meet a host and we are moving. After getting our rooms comped by a host.

We will be meeting Alligator Rose, Doc Crapology, Doc Jesse and The Wow. Man on Tuesday.

Monday wrapup was just a travel and a relocation day. We did not play, only about 1/2 hour. Today we will return to serious. Craps. Play.

Tues9 LBAL and I Check into a different casino because we were not happy with the original one we had made reservations at.

We are planning on playing 3 sessions for Tuesday. The morning session was mediocre followed with a VP session. The afternoon session was great with LBAL. Having a monster hand in the high 40’s or low 50’s. A hand of beauty, with LBAL pounding the 6 hitting it atleast 8 times. A great. money maker for both of us.

The evening session was not great but Alligator Rose. Doc Crapology Anne Jesse arrive after driving from New Orleans in adrivig rain storm.

The journeywill continue on Wed. Morning

Wed. We have 3 sessions scheduled. Again. The morning session was a so so session, not great but ok. My dice are looking good as are LBAL’s and Alligator Roses.

Wed afternoon LBAL has another monster,, somewhere in the. High 40’s. We all make money. I have 2 good hands in high teens and low 20’s.

Evening session sees Doc haeagreat hand and i have 1 good hand.

I am not having any luck at all. Good tosses are great but when I throw a bad shot the 7 shows,, no fun luck.

Wed. Wrap up. Good day, made money and that’s the important part.

Forgive my typos I am using a tablet for these posts for the first time.

One addition to Wednesday’ s report is LBAL. Hit here 1st royal playing Ultimate X VP. And she had a 2 X’s multiplier, so she collected 8000 coins.

Thursday was a bad day for all. We had a few hands but nothing great. The morning and afternoon sessions were terrible, one good hand by Doc Crapology and that was it.

Spent a few hours in room relaxing before dinner. After dinner we went and opened up. A $10 table. Rose and LBAL had short hands, then I had a mid 20’s hand repeating the 4 and 8 multiple times for a great money maker.

Then Doc followed up with a nice hand which was a money maker also.

Three rounds and we were done for the day. We finally had a winning session today thank god.

Played some VP, smoked a cigar and I went to bed.

I must say after playing for 12 days in a row I think I am getting tired. One more day, today Friday and then we all hit the road on Saturday. AM.

I will be off to Florida to enjoy the sun, LBAL. Will head back to Long Island and Doc and Rose will head back to
Texas.

Hope all y’all have a great last day!

It is now 5 PM and I am restiinng and packing to leave tomorrow morning. I am taking LBAL to the airport at 9 AM so she can fly back home tomorrow.
I will be off to Florida for my month log stay in the sun.

We played 2 sessions already today, I. had 2 medium hands. Both money makers and Rose had 1 great hand. Doc had 1 good hand, so we are throwing the v dice ok. Just not having lu c k on a bad shot.

One more craps session this evening and our great southern trip will come to an end.

I dont thick I will play again until the AC class in March, I will. Be going through. withdrawal.

Mr Finesse; Thanks for the ongoing report and wishing you a good time in the sunshine.

So which venue did you think was the best Craps wise? I am guessing Bossier? Besides one particular pit boss, (who Hates the 5 count, LOL) the crew there usually is Awesome!

Well the last session was a profitable session for all 4 of us.

Rose opened up with a nice mid 20’s hand repeating many numbers. I had a nice 1st hand and Doc followed with one also.

After Docs hand the box asks me a question, which book did the 4 of you read
Golden Touch or the other guy. I answer the other guy. He says we only let you throw that way because the method doesn’t work. I say we are finding that out. Conversation continues until I get the dice back and I have a low 40 or high 30 hand.

We all color up with wins and our southern swing is over.

Fun trip, a money maker for me and LBAL. Will do it again next year if I can.

Saturday AM, LBAL and I leave, I bring her to the airport at 9 am and I head off to Florida. I have a 660 mile ride in front of me and I arrive at my destination at 8:15pm.

Now it is time to enjoy the sun and a few cigars until Dom join me for the last week of Feb.

Hope you all enjoyed this great journey, I hope everyone gets to experience a trip like this in their future.

Sounds like an awesome trip, what a great way to wrap it up!!!

Finesse great to be able to join you, LBAL and Jesse. We all really had a great and profitable time. Rooms comped all 4 nights we were there and we never paid for a meal except for the one time Rose and Doc went to a little restaurant tucked in the local fish market—really good fresh inexpensive seafood. Lots of good conversations and of course success some good rolls at the table.

We do remember, during one of your rolls, a jerk of a dealer came in to relieve the stick man by making a jab into his ribs and he jumped and made a loud noise just as you were about to roll. You dropped the dice wondering "WTF"—but I know you would never say those words. You were pretty upset. We left the table and went to a $10 table that was just opening up. This was a good move.

LBAL is indeed a lady and fun to be with. Fun to have the two ladies on one side of the stick with you and me on the other. Jesse was a great help in keeping the end of the table open.

Can’t wait for AC in March–however Rose adn Doc will have a quick tune up in Vegas in Feb.

Rose and doc

A final note to this thread. Every time I played and the shooter did not make the 5 count–Finesse, Rose and LBAD included) Doc put a $1 chip in his pocket and kept count for the trip. Very seldom did these three not make the five count but it did occur. Total number of shooters (mostly chicken feeders) who did NOT make the 5 count or had a 7 out on the six count where I won was 17. Since we mostly played at $10 tables I would bet one come bet with $10 in odds for a total bet of $20. $20 times 17 is $340 NOT lost.

So my good GTC friends who do not five count—THE FIVE COUNT DOES WORK. Use it.

Doc

Thanks Mr Finesse for the trip report. Nice read. I enjoyed it. Can’t wait for more! 🙂

Awesome report. That was really fun to read. Enjoy some downtime in Florida and get well rested for a fun GTC year. So much going on this year it should be fun and exciting.
