I have been practicing at home for 12&#8242; tables, and I am seeing improvement.  We played in AC yesterday and I had my personal best of a 39 on a 12&#8242; table at the Roman place.  The practice, 5-count an GTC betting has turned my craps play around so I am not losing as much, and starting to have winning sessions.  Why anyone would want to try playing Craps without learning the GTC way is totally beyond my comprehension.<\/p>\n<p>\tHow far should I place the receiving station away from the throwing station to practice at a 14&#8242; table?  My thought is to measure from the back wall of the receiving station to the center of the throwing station 9&#8242;.  That gets me 7&#8242; from the back wall of the receiving station to where the center of the stick position would be, and then another 2&#8242; past that for my shooting spot.  Are those calculations correct, or am I throwing from too far away?<\/p>\n<p>\tThanks again for all of the help from GTC.<br \/>\n\t&#8212; Chevy<\/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> sevenout on April 29, 2012, 6:17 pm<\/p>\n<div>That measurement sounds right for a 14 foot.<\/p>\n<p>\tAnother thought, since you will be in Vegas, why not walk across the street where I&#8217;m sure there are 12 footers?<\/p><\/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> Dr Crapology on April 29, 2012, 6:29 pm<\/p>\n<div>Here are my calculations.  For a 12 foot table (144 inches) the center of the table will be 72 inches.  I allow 18 inches for the stickman and a little extra room between the two of us for a total distance of 90 inches.  <\/p>\n<p>\tFor a 14 foot table i simply add 12 inches (half the 2 foot difference between the 14 footer and a 12 footer) for a total of 102 inches.  <\/p>\n<p>\tThis has worked successful for the beautiful Alligator Rose and I.  <\/p>\n<p>\tHope this helps.<\/p>\n<p>\tHope to see you in the casinos soon.<\/p>\n<p>\tDoc<\/p><\/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> SectionEight on April 30, 2012, 8:29 am<\/p>\n<div>Doc is right, just add a foot and you should be fine.  Some people get caught up in the 12 foot vs. 14 foot thing.  It&#8217;s not that much different and there&#8217;s some great tables out there that are 14 feet.  Of course, ideally, we would want to have 12 footers&#8230;.but if theres a great 14 footer around with some good conditions, scoot that extra 12 inches&#8230;.on a 14 footer, SL1 is just the same as playing SL2 on a 12 footer.<\/p>\n<p>\tMy two cents&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\tKind regards,<br \/>\n\tSectionEight<\/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 April 30, 2012, 7:13 pm<\/p>\n<div>SE  Welcome hope you had a great time and did not gain to much ### .I know you eat a little more on those trips.<br \/>\n\tGood Rolling. \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> SectionEight on May 4, 2012, 7:17 am<\/p>\n<div>Actually lost about three pounds on the cruise&#8230;.the metabolism is very high right now.   \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> Finisher on October 17, 2012, 4:34 am<\/p>\n<div>For DannyP<\/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> Guest on October 18, 2012, 3:19 am<\/p>\n<div>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&quot;Finisher&quot; wrote:<\/strong> For DannyP<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\tThank you.
