\nAfter church today, Sally said let’s go to the casino.<\/p>\n

\tTakes us about 90 minutes, about what it took us to get to Tunica when we lived in Arkansas.<\/p>\n

\tHad never been to this casino and they give new people $20 of slot play when you sign up.<\/p>\n

\tSally got her $20, but over a year ago I had registered on line, but never been to the casino to pick up a card. However they said I wasn’t new so no $20 for me.<\/p>\n

\tHad one crap table that was completely empty. Asked at the table where VP was for Sally and since our cell phones didn’t work in the casino walked to the VP with her. All the machines were taken and she said she would check some other areas and would be back by the craps table in 40 minutes.<\/p>\n

\tI checked in at the still empty table and first two cards out of the continuous shufflers were 6-6. So I am down to start. I know there is no way to get an advantage so I start out with pass line with odds and come bet. After that first craps bet the next dice results were a point seven. So I was now down a pass line bet with odds.<\/p>\n

\tNext come out I stopped with 3 come bets and had one repeater of a come bet and won one pass line. So on first three number cycles I had lost on each cycle. Looked like it was going to be a short session. One other person had come to the table so I five counted and took a come bet after the five count but still lost the equivalent of one come bet on that cycle.<\/p>\n

\tNext cycle was a better one finally and I collected on four come out rolls and was slightly in the black overall.<\/p>\n

\tThe other player had left so I had a private table. They have a Stickman, with a stick, though there are no dice to collect. <\/p>\n

\tI switch to placing the 6\/8 as well as having a pass line bet with odds and win some and lose some, but stay slightly in the black.<\/p>\n

\tSally comes by and points to where she will be.<\/p>\n

\tI still have a private table and the numbers start repeating. First point is a 4 which I make and then buy the four when the next number is an eight. I have a come bet with odds on the nine, the bought four requires the vig up front. Another person has come to the table and starts to bet the Hards. The ten was rolled three times, two of them Hards back to back.<\/p>\n

\tThe four and six are rolling and I have pressed the four from $20 eventually to $55. I know collected at $20, $25, $35 with only $1 vig and some hits on the four without pressing. I collected on the 4 at $55 with $2 vig.<\/p>\n

\tI had taken the 6 as follows $12, $18, $30, $42, $54, & $60. the last two sixes were hard and I gave the stick $5 for all the Hards, with the dealers piggy back on his choice, which was the six. Next card were65 followed by 3-4. <\/p>\n

\tI had won over 350% of my buy in and I colored up and left the table.<\/p>\n

\tCouldn’t find Sally so just watched some pia gow next to the craps table. she eventually showed up and she had won $20.<\/p>\n

\tOn the way out, find a 1\/2dollar triple play 9-5 JOB and put a Bennie in it and took two Bennies out.<\/p>\n

\tI live in central Cal., there are Indian casinos all over the valley. A few months back my wife talked me into going to Thunder Valley in Roseville for the brunch. After a nice breakfast we wondered through the casino. When we came across the craps table, my wife kept bugging me to give it a try. I told her there is no way for me to use my skills, that i learned from GTC to gain an advantage. After pestering me i gave in and pulled $100. out and bought in. That was my first mistake. I kept muttering to myself this is stupid, what am i doing!! About 10 minutes later i was cleaned out. I turned to my wife to give her the stankeye, but she was long gone!! Bitch \":mrgreen:\" just kidding.<\/p>\n

\tSo my critique of the casino, the food was great, the craps game suckssssssssssssssss.<\/p>\n

\tSince it takes so long to get to Vegas I play a craps game on my iPad and play like I would in the casino.<\/p>\n

\tPlaying pass line and come bets both with odds gives me the lowest HA, but I know
\n\tI don’t have an advantage. I’m just hoping for the variance to be with me which it was.<\/p>\n

\tOn the iPad I once was up over 10% after over 8000 tosses. Current game I was up after 2,018 tosses.<\/p>\n

\t I now am up to 2,935 tosses and am now town 7%. As you saw variance can hit you fast.<\/p>\n
