Dom and the crew were superb.  Really just a great time overall.  <\/p>\n<p>\tI did have one experience that I just recalled from last night.  First, let me give some background.  Since playing the way GTC lays out, I have made some decent bank, but, admittedly, when it is my time to throw, I will usually toss some $$ on the ATS.  I know it&#8217;s a long shot, but I am taking a chance on myself.  That being said, I have hit the Small, I have hit the Tall, but I have never hit the All despite coming very close numerous times.  <\/p>\n<p>\tRewind to last night (Sunday).  I am down some money for the weekend, as a whole, but not by much more than a single buy-in.  I am attempting to play catch up and willing to settle for a break-even for the trip.  To that end, I opted not to play the ATS based on my own history.  <\/p>\n<p>\tSo I am at a table around 10 PM, or so, and the dealer shift change.  Most of the people at my table had moved on, it was down to two Don&#8217;t players and me.  I threw for what felt like over an hour before anyone else walked up to the table and took the dice.  <\/p>\n<p>\tAnyways, I had as many as two dealers breaking my stones about why I wasn&#8217;t playing the ATS.  I told them of my history of success when it comes to the ATS.  The first dealer kept goading me about putting money on it.  I didn&#8217;t put much into it, I have a thick skin.  <\/p>\n<p>\tNext break, another dealer becomes the stick, and starts prodding me about the ATS.  He tells me with the way I was shooting, I should have some money up there.  About midway through the roll, the dealer points out that look at how many numbers I have already.  My response was something like, &quot;oh yeah, look at that&quot;.  A few rolls later, I seven-out.  As the table is being cleared, I take a poke at the stick as my response was, &quot;now I look like a genius by not playing the ATS.  I saved $15&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>\tMoral of the story, especially to any new players.  Dom preaches over and over, the dealers have a job to do.  I have seen dealers in private forums admit that they have a script to read.  Still, it&#8217;s your money.  Don&#8217;t let anyone else play it for you.<\/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> Dominator on April 24, 2018, 4:16 pm<\/p>\n<div>Exactly!
