My wife and i decided to go to Connecticut for the evening last night.  We get up there around 4:30 in the afternoon.  My wife rushes off to use the spa and I go hit the tables.  I find a table where SR1 is open.  I slip in with the dice 2 to my right.  I 5 count the next two shooters and then get the dice.  First round was a 12.  Surprisingly, the next 6 shooters all pass the dice.  I 5 count the next two shooters.  The 2nd one has a decent toss of somewhere in the teens.  I then get the dice.  I feel a little more in the zone and toss a 17.  Again, the next 6 shooters pass the dice.  5 count the next two guys and then I get the dice.  I loss my count as I usually don&#8217;t continue counting past teens.  I know I hit at least 40 numbers and possibly more.  I held the dice for about 45 minutes as there were a bunch of hard ways hit.  One guy on the opposite side of the table threw me 4 black chips when I crapped out.  I happily went to meet my wife for dinner.<\/p>\n<p>\tAfter dinner, she took my players card to go do some shopping and I went to play again.  Found my position again and whatever I had done before dinner, I did the opposite afterwards.  I did something I usually never do, I point\/sevened 3 times in a row.  Luckily after the first one I 5 count myself so I only lost my flat bet with the odds.   Fourth time I hit one number before sevening out.  UGGH!!!  I have NO idea what I am doing wrong.  I am so frustrated that I decide to walk away.  I go meet Debbie and we go play some Spanish 21 for an hour.  I can count decently well and make some money at that table.  We then left.  I walked away last night with almost tripling my stake which is fabulous.  Yet I was in such a crappy mood because of my last 4 tosses.  <\/p>\n<p>\tLong story short, when your off, you need to know when to walk away.  Had a great time with my wife, made some money and hopefully got the junk out of my system.<\/p>\n<p>\tMichael<\/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> Mr Finesse on September 2, 2013, 7:01 pm<\/p>\n<div><strong>We all have bad day&#8217;s and like you said walking away is very important,<\/p>\n<p>\tPoint 7 out sucks and I remember many years ago when Bill and I played twice a week I point 7&#8217;d out 21 times  in a row.

I also do this on dealer bets . In the casino I always start with 1.00 for dealer on line and as I get wins put odds for them. Some times I forget that they to have a limit too so at times one dealer will want me to put the dollar on the line . Were a norther dealer will just say I can increase the flat bet. Which I then can add more odds to later.<\/p>\n<p>\tI hate those point 7 out also . <br \/>\n\tGood Rolling. \ud83d\ude00  \ud83d\ude00<\/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> MIDNIGHT on September 4, 2013, 2:56 pm<\/p>\n<div>I will always take full odds as it is the best bet in the entire casino and lowers the house edge when playing craps.  Bob, 21 times?  That is incredible.  I hope you had a nice winning streak after that.  I don&#8217;t have your cell phone number.  Why don&#8217;t you email it to me and I will definitely shoot you a text next time I go up. <\/p>\n<p>\tMichael<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I am heading off to Canada later this week for a few days with some friends for some good gambling.
