My body is still on EDT and I woke up at 4:00 AM Las Vegas time.  I went down to the table and bought in for $400. I<\/p>\n<p>\tMy fist roll was a point-seven.  Lost $40.  I wasn&#8217;t warmed up yet.  The seven was a &quot;good&quot; seven.<\/p>\n<p>\tMy second roll was better I rolls 13 times and hit four numbers (no points)<\/p>\n<p>\tBetween my second and third roll, someone taps me on my shoulder.  I turned and there was this &quot;valley  girl.&quot; (Air head blonde) saying &quot; I know you!&quot;.  Really? I don&#8217;t recognized you.  <\/p>\n<p>\tHer:  &quot;You lived in CA&quot;.<br \/>\n\tMe:  No, only been there once.  Never lived there.<br \/>\n\tHer: &quot;I&#8217;m 47 years old, worked the last 18 years at Disney World and I know you were there.<br \/>\n\tMe:  Sorry! I&#8217;m from Michigan, just visiting.<\/p>\n<p>\tThat ended the conversation.  She buys in for $40 just as I&#8217;m getting the dice.  She bets $10 on the pass line, and $20 on all the hardways.<br \/>\n\tI establish 9 as the point.  She squeals, &quot;Oh! Goodie!  Nine&#8217;s my favorite number.  Five is my second favorite.  She took $10 odds on the nine.<\/p>\n<p>\tI&#8217;m thinking to myself, &quot;Sounds right, the numbers are odd, just like you&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>\tI rolled a hard 6.  She starts squealing and is really excited now and and parlays it.<br \/>\n\tI rolled a hard 10.  She repeats the previous scene.  By now the whole table is looking at her.<br \/>\n\tThree rolls later I hit the hard 4.  Here we go again.<br \/>\n\tShe now has three parlayed hard ways and is busting at the seams.<\/p>\n<p>\tI made the nine.  She&#8217;s jumping up  and down again but not to the same extent as before.<\/p>\n<p>\tI rolled a hard six for my new point.  She went nuts when the dealer pushed $450 towards her,    She&#8217;s hugging me, squealing in my ear,  and really causing a scene. She took the remaining $50  down and replaced with a $5 bet.<\/p>\n<p>\tI sevened-out  on the next roll.   I&#8217;m not used to being mauled.  The class didn&#8217;t cover that.   \ud83d\ude00 <\/p>\n<p>\tShe proceeded to lost the money and finally left.  I was the only person on my side of the table.  After she was out of ear shot I whispered to the dealer,  &quot;At least she didn&#8217;t leave any bruises.&quot;  He almost lost it.<\/p>\n<p>\tMy last two rolls were uneventful and I colored up after my last point-7.<\/p>\n<p>\tI had seven green chips in my shirt pocket which means I save $175 on shooters who didn&#8217;t make the five count.<\/p>\n<p>\tI finished the session up $15.  A small win but still a win.   \ud83d\ude00 <\/p>\n<p>\tFor you place betters, here a tip.  Since the casino only takes the vig after a winning buy bet.  If you buy the five or nine for $30 and win it.  You&#8217;ll get $43 instead of $42.  It&#8217;s only $1 but it&#8217;s  free money.<\/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> HardNine on June 28, 2016, 12:52 pm<\/p>\n<div>What a fun session!
