Just got back from another great cruise this time thru the Bermuda Triangle in the Atlantic.
Strange things can happen there.
Day one: I opened the table with a nice roll in the twenties. Got the small in the ATS for a nice win.
Kept rolling but the 12 was not to be. Cashed in a nice triple$.
Craps player hoards descend on the lone table.
Up to 17-18 players try to crowd the table and create too much confusion, arguments,noise, AND the payouts take 10-15 minutes each!
Late bets, arms, drinks, player cards, and money wads would fly thru the air in the landing zone. GTC principles say leave when this happens–more on that.
Note: Table was a 14 footer but had only a little bounce–nice for me.
Continued to play early in the afternoon for the next few days, nothing great but survived.
Last day still have my bankroll.
Walk into casino at 9:45 AM. As luck would have it they are getting ready to open the craps table! Casino is pretty empty.
Get my SL position and I am the first shooter with one more person to my left. It is now 10 AM.
For some fun I placed a $5 bet on each on the ATS.
Started the roll ———–
by 10:30 made the Small was allowed to rebet it, pressed it to $10.
Made point after point. I was using a 2v set.
By 11:05 made the Tall and rebet it. Hit the small again and got the TALL !!! AND the ALL $$$$.
This is now past my personal record of 1 hour and 15 minutes and I am still going.
Guy next to me brought me a cold bottle of water. Really helped at the point.
I have now filled two sections of chips one green and black the other red.
Payouts are now going VERY SLOW. 17 people at the table!!! Insane. Regular players were keeping the crazies in check. Lots of MOVE YOUR HANDS for every roll.
My nearby players kept assuring me that all is well and go to a happy place ignore the idiots.
At 11:45 made the SMALL, TALL and finally the ALL again —Thousands come my way!!!
12:05 it ends. 12X buy in profit. I immediately cash in to go to lunch.
Totally wiped out mentally and physically. HEADACHE too. Did not play the rest of the day.
Player to my left says to me he lost count at 80 rolls. and that I rolled at least 2 hours.
Chips were refilled twice that I remembered. One fill was black chips.
I was really relaxed and loose during this whole session never gave much thought after the first few rolls. I did have to throw a little harder with more backspin but it is very hard to remember anything else about the toss.
Note: I was come betting for the first hour and a half . Made a lot, lost my nerve and let them go down one by one and then placed bet the numbers or started $50 buy bets on the 4 and 10.
On my way out of the ship I heard from several players who were there and wanted to know when I would return.
That is my story from the Bermuda Triangle.
If you need more detail specific PM me always glad to give the info.

It was really great to meet you at the tables.
A very profitable session for all.
I need to play with fellow GTC players that follow our playbook.
It reminds you of what we strive for in the game.
See you again soon.
