Craps

Practice Paying Off

Spread the love

Wife and I had a long day at the Casino. Arrived around 1 PM.  All the tables full. One table opened at $50.

We split up to explore the Casino. I wondered back to the $50. table since I like having an empty table to myself. I played just the PassLine. Could not turn it on. 

Walked around chatting with whoever would listen to me. Wondered back to the $50 table around 4PM. Grabbed stick left. 

The table filled up. One shooter had a real heater. The dice came around to me. I rolled  a Hard Six for point. Rolled the point. I continued to roll the points. My game was on. 

The table was having fun. My wife joined me at stick left next to the hook. She shot a ten roll at least. She showed her lack of practice. But had a good stance. Her grip was not correct.

The dice were not traveling together. one a little higher than the other. But she was rolling good numbers.

Someone claimed to had count my two rounds at thirty to forty rolls. I don’t count so I have no idea.

We were having a blast. We were tipping the dealers throughout. They were enjoying the action. We were all laughing. 

I recognized a guy at the end of the table and he recognized me. We had played together five years ago way up in the woods. He was throwing blacks chips down to me that day after he recouped the thousands he had just lost playing his style game. He has a style like nothing I have ever seen. Let’s just call it the dark side. We are going to hook up again.

It was an outstanding day. My brain crashed at some point at 7PM so we headed home.

I bought in with $500 and left with just shy of two grand. So it paid for gas and tolls.

I was really betting safe. Come bets with only  odds at $30 to $100.00. I was not betting on the others since I was focused on my game.

Wow.  Looks to us like you were using many of the GTC principles.  You were smart to take the break that you did.  Always great to tale a break and come back to a table and have some good rolls.

@dr-crapology I found the sweet spot on my finger and that was it. Good playing with my wife because she noticed I was starting my swing too high so I lowered my arm. I was able to whisper to her a few pointers too. I always told her to let me know if she notices something not correct. We have a post play discussion on what we did right or wrong on shooting and betting.  Then I write down the notes on what table, dealers, players and all the other jazz.

It’s great to see the GTC betting practices pay off at the table. Good rolling! Congratulations.

Was it shit luck or do I have my MOJO back.

I returned to the Casino Thursday and played again. Very successful.  On my way out attempting to head home but I walked by another table with only one player. I could not just ignore it. Played another half hour.  Got my MOJO back.

@CottonLob  You’re on a roll, buddy.  Ride that MoJo as long as it runs!!!!

@bucksterk   We are heading down by the river to see how this Mojo does there.  My third visit this past weekend didn’t kick in until we were ready to leave. I am happy to have been able to play four tables out of six this season. You have to be willing to visit at different times of the day and days to catch different conditions, dealers, crowd size, and tables.

They turn the music up loud over the Craps tables by 5PM. My left ear was buzzing all night. I have good ear plugs I use for this so I need to remember to bring them.
