Being a senior citizen contributed to this. In late September of this year I got Covid, but having been vaccinated and boosted, it was no worse than a bad cold. Now, I felt able to go back to the casinos. During this lengthy hiatus, I did not practice. With no gambling trip in view, I was totally unmotivated. Now things had turned around and I started to practice like crazy.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday with a great feeling of trepidation I arrived in AC. Could I recover my skill set after so long a layoff? Would I remember to breathe, my arm position and release point? Tuesday, I could not get on the one open table. Yesterday morning I ventured forth with hopes held high. I got down at 5:30\u00a0 AM and no table was even open. I was not a happy camper. I decided to play three card poker and the person who oversaw the games said they would open a table at 6:30 AM. I hung out and when they opened the table, it was just me. I was told that they were closing the table at 8 AM to use the crew for a private craps game.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I began to shoot and it was liking getting back on a horse or even a bike after falling off. I shot lots of teens and 20&#8217;s and left at 7:45 AM with $1800. Using the Big Skinny with one PL bet and 2 Come bets to start off worked great. I could not get one big roll, but enough rolls where\u00a0 I had 3 to 5 hits. When I left, I was told to come back at 11 AM when they were reopening. That turned out to be even better. More to come.<\/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> Cotton Lob on November 18, 2022, 12:49 am<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">What a good experience.

There was one guy at the left end waiting when I walked up. Two other guys came along. The end guy played the &#8216;don&#8217;t\u00a0 and quickly made the point. He passed the dice to the guy at my end who shot about 7 rolls and sevened out. I was up next. When I finished, I had 48 rolls and new friends for the moment. I was in the zone, but remember the pit boss yelling for me to make\u00a0 the point and laughing. My next stop was another casino and I continued in the zone. I wrapped it up yesterday morning with another win. I had never been on a trip with no losing sessions. I do\u00a0 not think it will happen again. I was told that the private table guy bet $300 come bets with full odds. Slightly out of my $15 league.<\/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> Finisher on November 18, 2022, 10:00 pm<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Great .<\/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 November 18, 2022, 10:44 pm<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Just great shooting Phil!
