You did a good job putting the instructor team together Dom. I asked her how the new instructors were and she had nothing but positive comments. She loved all the various tips given at the different stations. I booked the room in the same building as the class in case she needed to escape. Nope. \u00a0Not happening. She also enjoyed all the students. Golden Touch attracts good people. Thanks to Darryl, Dr Crapology and Alligator Rose for contributing to the success of the class. And of course all the instructors. The two of us will be able to participate together in future tune-ups together. Since she didn&#8217;t come up with a name we will refer to her as &#8220;her&#8221; for now.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"wpfa-297\" class=\"wpforo-attached-file\"><a class=\"wpforo-default-attachment\" href=\"\/\/crapsclub.goldentouchcraps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/wpforo\/default_attachments\/1625010270-Dice-Practice.png\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"fas fa-paperclip\"><\/i>&nbsp;Dice-Practice.png<\/a><\/div>\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> Dominator on June 30, 2021, 1:19 pm<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Love it!

Next do not get into this way of playing,&#8230;. betting on every shooter. You have to come up with a line or two.<\/p>\n<p>This actually happened to me in CT over this past weekend . I was grandfathered in at a table and I was and will ALWAYS use the 5-count on everyone. The suit came up to me and said that she couldn&#8217;t keep me grandfathered in if I didn&#8217;t bet on every shooter. My response was simple, I said, &#8220;I do bet on every shooter that makes it past a few rolls. I just want a couple of rolls before I bet.&#8221; She said OK then &#8211; no problem<\/p>\n<p>I have also said things like &#8220;The way this table is running I wouldn&#8217;t bet on these shooters with your money. (I then laugh)<\/p>\n<p>You have to come up with things.
