All afraid of the bounce. They practically roll the dice all the way down. Only one dice seems to hit the wall or come close to it. There \u00a0was only one guy that was shooting (rolling) good. I was told everyone was playing the Don&#8217;t earlier and doing better at that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">I am down by the hook. My favorite spot for sixteen fosters. I begin to visualize fly fishing and have a conversation with Dom and the boys in my head.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">My name is Cotton Lob. So when I get the dice I lob the dice down with no back spin. The dice land just before the wall close to the corner line. They bounce up under the rail and the rail sends them back down. \u00a0And they die on the spot. Point established. I follow with a yo, eight, nine, which is the point. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">I repeat on the second point. \u00a0The third time my lob is off to the left a little and one of the dice bounces up onto the belly of some dumb ass leaning over the rail to watch the dice land. That one rolls back onto the table making a 7 out. \u00a0I give the guy a look. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">This is the casino where it all started for Cotton Lob. I thought all was lost with the poor management. \u00a0I thought I would never return. \u00a0But this is the place I played at that night to win enough money so I could take the Golden Touch class in Las Vegas. \u00a0And then went on to win enough in Vegas after class to return the following month with my wife.

It was in the back of the casino, named after a street. Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn&#8217;t that put SR1 and SL1 at 9 1\/2&#8242; from the back wall? That would be a challenge.<\/p>\n<p>At home, I have started practicing with my GTC Throwing Station 9&#8242; from the Receiving Station. That&#8217;s so I will be used to throwing from SR2 on a 12&#8242; table and SR1 on a 14&#8242; table. But I just don&#8217;t know about 16&#8242; table.<\/p>\n<p>Next time I&#8217;m back at Downtown Las Vegas, I&#8217;ll ask if I would be allowed to bring my M120 breach loaded mortar to assist.<\/p>\n<div id=\"wpfa-455\" class=\"wpforo-attached-file\"><a class=\"wpforo-default-attachment\" href=\"\/\/crapsclub.goldentouchcraps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/wpforo\/default_attachments\/1689376750-M120_Mortar_in_Zabol_Province_Afghanistan.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"M120_Mortar_in_Zabol_Province_Afghanistan.jpg\"><i class=\"fas fa-paperclip\"><\/i>&nbsp;M120_Mortar_in_Zabol_Province_Afghanistan.jpg<\/a><\/div>\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> Cotton Lob on July 15, 2023, 1:15 pm<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">@preacher Yes, My practice rig is setup so I can move back fourteen feet only limited by the length of my room. Dominator has seen pictures of my rig. \u00a0I also throw into a card board paint bucket for fun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">I have practiced like like from the beginning because my local casino where I began my dice career \u00a0was first come first serve so I had to learn how to shoot all positions. And I really want to throw the dice. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">I can throw left and right handed. The short tables mess with my head but I have a found memory of post Golden Touch class throwing on a shorty with back spin between two &#8220;goal post &#8221; some guys had set up in chips in the landing zone while in Connecticut. Just kept rolling sixes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">I waited all night for that air craft carrier in Vegas back in 2019 you speak of for the crowd to disperse. Almost won a free jacket. Had to settle for the money. I was betting low at the time but it was a winning night for all that waiting around.<\/span><\/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> Cotton Lob on July 15, 2023, 1:27 pm<\/p>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">@preacher \u00a0That mortar picture is outstanding.

One has the throw counter. The 2nd table in the back is the aircraft carrier &#8211; but since I didn&#8217;t get up close to it, might also have a digital throw counter.<\/p>\n<p>Neither of my sons in Afghanistan operated mortars. They were both up close and personal. One was injured when his vehicle was hit by an IED. He&#8217;s fine, now. My other son fared better and still serves.<\/p>\n<p>The picture was one I grabbed off a web page. It doesn&#8217;t sound like you need that level of assistance to reach the back wall. But I&#8217;m sure it is a challenge.
