A little advise please: soon I will be at a casino with tables that when you push on the felt you can feel and see you finger sink in about an eighth of an inch or a little more. Question is how do you adjust your toss. Low and skip to the allegator or try to land just in front of the wall and have little or no room for secondary bounce. Thanks for the suggestions.

You know my response to that, laughing….. been going real good lately.
I think it is much better not to play, than try to adjust the way you throw.
Keshena has just received their new table. The table bounce is not bad, but the
back wall is terrible. NO matter how I tried to place more back spin, or soften the
shot, it was not what I wanted to bet my money on.
So I did what you think I did and have had a 51, 62 and this week a 33 and 35.

Either you have some mad shooting skills or you’re the luckiest shooter on this board
Those kind of table conditions are close to where the Princess and I live….although I’ve had some big rolls at this place (a 60+ and a 50+) and hit a total of 6 fire bets (Two 5’s and Four 4’s), I’ve PSO’d there more than any other casino in the USA. And, the table limits are so high, a few PSO’s and my bankroll really feels the pain — I get SO FRUSTRATED there, I almost pull out the few hairs I have on top of my head — (I just wish A/C, NJ was closer to us)
And, if the local NFL Football team is playing at home (Stadium is only a 10 minute walk away) on Sunday, you better bring LOTS of $$$$$$$ to afford the tables there
Good luck in your journey

You have had lots of good rolls there, the question is can a person play
well enough on tables that dont fit them to feel you have an edge or the same
edge you do on your home table.
I have quit trying to do things I cant do and play only on tables that I
can find a way to be affective on.

Don’t betting? Although nothing works all the time either way. Chop is a casino’s friend. Just food for thought. Best idea is, of course, like GMan said, don’t fight it but play somewhere else. Longer drive and playing less often may be the best way to make some coin. Hope you find a situation that works for you.

The problem is the very high table limit and the extreme random-ness of the dice even for skilled shooters
It’s getting difficult to afford playing there …another problem is, the place is 20 minute drive from the house…..and a 10 minute walk from my work (OUCH)

Not trying to be a jerk here so I hope you don’t take it like that.
Read what you wrote in your above post and then read it again and again.
You said " random-ness of the dice even for skilled shooters" Mathematically, Craps is a NEGATIVE expectation game for random rollers—- always! That is how the casinos make money.
Hence, you said "it’s difficult to afford playing there". Because the dice are random and it is a negative expectation game. I am not questioning your tossing prowess or your income status but you can’t afford to play there because you are losing money. If you were winning(except sporadically)then your bankroll would be growing and you could afford to play there because it would be an Advantage place to play for you. It is not. Read your own post above.
I know you know all of this because you wrote it first. Nothing I just said is new to you. Discipline is a tough thing for every one of us including me. Just trying to be helpful to another board member. Play with your mind and not your emotions! Hope you can think through a new tactic and skip this casino. Good luck wherever you play!

I skip this place quite a bit
It’s brutal there both from a shooting perspective and a bankroll issue — I can’t just "belly-up" to the table and kill ’em with a 30 roll and make money — I’m almost surprised when I hit a box number there … even more surprised when the dice DON’T bounce of the table
if the playing/shooting conditions were better (i.e., normal), I wouldn’t mind the table limits
