Got the small in the ATS for a nice win. <\/p>\n<p>\tKept rolling but the 12 was not to be. Cashed in a nice triple$.<\/p>\n<p>\tCraps player hoards descend on the lone table.<\/p>\n<p>\t 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! <\/p>\n<p>\tLate bets, arms, drinks, player cards, and money wads would fly thru the air in the landing zone. GTC principles say leave when this happens&#8211;more on that.<\/p>\n<p>\tNote:  Table was a 14 footer but had only a little bounce&#8211;nice for me.<\/p>\n<p>\tContinued to play early in the afternoon for the next few days, nothing great but survived.<\/p>\n<p>\tLast day still have my bankroll.<\/p>\n<p>\tWalk into casino at 9:45 AM. As luck would have it they are getting ready to open the craps table! Casino is pretty empty.<\/p>\n<p>\tGet my SL position and I am the first shooter with one more person to my left. It is now 10 AM.<\/p>\n<p>\tFor some fun I placed a $5 bet on each on the ATS.<\/p>\n<p>\tStarted the roll &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>\tby 10:30 made the Small was allowed to rebet it, pressed it to $10.<\/p>\n<p>\tMade point after point. I was using a 2v set.<\/p>\n<p>\tBy 11:05 made the Tall and rebet it. Hit the small again and got the TALL !!!   AND the ALL $$$$.<\/p>\n<p>\tThis is now past my personal record of 1 hour and 15 minutes and I am still going.<\/p>\n<p>\tGuy next to me brought me a cold bottle of water. Really helped at the point.<\/p>\n<p>\tI have now filled two sections of chips one green and black the other red.<\/p>\n<p>\tPayouts 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.<\/p>\n<p>\tMy nearby players kept assuring me that all is well and go to a happy place ignore the idiots.<\/p>\n<p>\tAt 11:45 made the SMALL, TALL and finally the ALL again &#8212;Thousands come my way!!!<\/p>\n<p>\t12:05 it ends. 12X buy in profit. I immediately cash in to go to lunch.<\/p>\n<p>\tTotally wiped out mentally and physically.  HEADACHE too. Did not play the rest of the day.<\/p>\n<p>\tPlayer to my left says to me he lost count at 80 rolls. and that I rolled at least 2 hours.<\/p>\n<p>\tChips were refilled twice that I remembered. One fill was black chips.<\/p>\n<p>\tI 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.<\/p>\n<p>\tNote: 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.<\/p>\n<p>\tOn my way out of the ship I heard from several players who were there and wanted to know when I would return.  <\/p>\n<p>\tThat is my story from the Bermuda Triangle.<\/p>\n<p>\tIf you need more detail specific PM me always glad to give the info.<\/p>\n<p>\tColorUp<\/p>\n<p>\tJohn B<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Replies:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Dr Crapology on October 8, 2019, 9:15 pm<\/p>\n<div>WOW!!!  what a great read.
