It seemed almost normal. Biloxi is my favorite craps destination because of the favorable craps rules and the food.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">I was comped a few nights at the casino with the 2 letter name so I played there a little. A comped room there is free with no resort fee or any other charges.\u00a0 They had 2 tables open \u2013 one at $15 min and the other at $25 min.\u00a0 Pre-pandemic the tables were usually $5 and $10. \u00a0I never saw anyone on the $25 table and the $15 table was pretty full. I played one session there using a betting strategy that I have been working on for a while, but lost my buy-in.\u00a0 The table was very dead and my usual toss did not hit the back wall very often.\u00a0 Usually a dead table is good, but not this time. The dice would just die on the bounce almost like a kill shot.\u00a0 I also seemed to very self-conscious and was not at ease at all.\u00a0 My throw even looked bad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">I went to my favorite casino the next morning &#8211; the one that had the pirate ship before Katrina (there are 8 casinos in Biloxi).\u00a0 After being told by a dealer that there was no such thing as a $5 table anymore, low and behold, their only table was $5.\u00a0 The table was a little crowded and my spot, SL1, was occupied.\u00a0 I had two $10 free play vouchers, so I played those from SL2.\u00a0 I bet the Don\u2019t Pass and won with both.\u00a0 I was about to leave because my wife was waiting on me to check out when SL1 opened up and of course, I slid into my favorite spot.\u00a0 I had the dice only one time but like Mr. Dom says: \u2018it was like I was in a movie\u2019.\u00a0 Nothing could go wrong.\u00a0 The only rolls that I did not get paid were the come-outs.\u00a0 I hit number after number, primary after primary \u2013 I was in the zone.\u00a0 When the dice were returned to me, the whole table was quiet as I set the dice and tossed.\u00a0 I was completely oblivious to my surroundings.\u00a0 It was like I was home alone throwing on my practice rig.\u00a0 It was probably the most rewarding experience that I have had in the 3 years that I have been playing the GTC way.\u00a0 In that one hand, I won what I had lost the day before and then some.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Thanks to Mr. Dom and the GTC instructors for your wisdom and advice \u2013 I couldn\u2019t have had that experience without you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>______________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;font-size: 12pt\"><em>The more I practice, the luckier I get.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/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 December 4, 2021, 1:29 pm<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Glad you had such success.\u00a0 Biloxi has been a place that we have enjoyed over the years, but found that many of the tables bring to mind a trampoline, so haven&#8217;t been a a long time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A great report.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\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 December 4, 2021, 1:37 pm<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Just a great read and well done shooting!<\/p>\n<p>Dom<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> BigCasino on December 4, 2021, 3:24 pm<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Great trip Report !\u00a0 \u00a0I know exactly that feeling @bminus1\u00a0 seems like everything around you goes still and silent when you get in that groove of just doing the same over and over again.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations on coming back and then some !\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Preacher on December 6, 2021, 12:33 am<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>RollTide4Ever and I also visit Biloxi. We were there July 2021 to sweep the cob webs off our game. It was our first casino trip since Covid. Of course, we practice regularly at home, using our throwing and receiving stations that Dominator made for us.<\/p>\n<p>While in Biloxi, we visited four (4) of the casinos. One had the new LED table, a 6&#8242; table, which I wrote about earlier.<\/p>\n<p>I do like playing the tables where you stayed. However, the Crapless table is now 14&#8242;, with crazy table positions for Covid spacing.<\/p>\n<p>Doc (Crapology) complained about trampoline tables, but I think that is perhaps an exaggeration? True, the former &#8220;hard&#8221; tables with felt on wood are fast becoming a part of history. Microfiber layouts are definitely the order of the day. Outside of Vegas, I know of no felt over wood tables that remain. Hopefully, Doc will soon get with the times. I have every faith he could, if he tried.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be in Denver, Colorado, in June, and we&#8217;ll check out the craps tables, there.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll send you a note when we next visit Biloxi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 A few weeks ago, I visited my favorite craps destination: Biloxi.\u00a0\u00a0 Things seemed almost normal since no masks were being worn except by the dealers.\u00a0 There were no restrictions on number of people at the tables or social distancing&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":208,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-craps"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/forumarchives.tmsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/forumarchives.tmsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/forumarchives.tmsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forumarchives.tmsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/208"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forumarchives.tmsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10349"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/forumarchives.tmsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10349\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/forumarchives.tmsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forumarchives.tmsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forumarchives.tmsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
