Long ago (1995), I met a guy at an a Capella singing school in Abilene, TX.  We were forced to room together \ud83d\ude00 . But during the week, we developed a friendship that lasts through today.  We got together for several things like Roller Coasters and such, and on one of these trips, we got together outside of one of the cities with coasters and stayed at a riverboat in MO.  I watched him play craps and really did find the game intriguing if not intimidating.  OK, it was intimidating too. I started studying the game and playing electronically so that I understood the way he played and other options.<\/p>\n<p>\tBefore I could actually play, he went and moved to Hawaii to become a Dive Instructor after learning and honing the skill in the scuba diving capital of the US; Tulsa OK.  I learned that too, but we were never able to play craps together after I&#8217;d started back in 2009.  Fast forward to fall of 2017, and he finally gets his kiester moved back to the mainland.  This past weekend, Scooter and I headed to Vegas and he drove up from Yuma to meet us, and we FINALLY got to shoot together and catch up.  We had a blast.  I&#8217;ve introduced him to GTC and he gets it, likes what he sees, and hopefully I&#8217;ll get him to an open house in the next few Vegas sessions.<\/p>\n<p>\tAnyway, DiceDiver is now a member of this forum, so please welcome my dear friend, Jeff!<\/p>\n<p>\tDon<\/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> getagrip on April 25, 2018, 12:01 am<\/p>\n<div>The other dive capital of the world.

I recommend that you regale us during the \u201cNo 7\u2019s\u201d competition. Let me know if you take requests &#8211; I have a few numbers in mind. And, if you come early to the Open House, I might join you for a practice session.<\/p>\n<p>\tI have heard that back in the day, pre-GTC, there were four craps players known as the Four Horsemen of Atlantic City. If I heard correctly, Dom was one of the four.<\/p>\n<p>\tPerhaps we can form a new craps player group, the Four Troubadours of GTC.

It will draw less attention to you and make you a better player.<\/p>\n<p>\tI remember a time when the stick was trying to do me a favor.  I knew her from having played at her table many times.  She would try to roll the dice with the stick to pass me the 5&#8217;s on top.  But it took her a long time to do it.<\/p>\n<p>\tI let her do it a few times but it seemed to take forever to get the dice.<\/p>\n<p>\tFinally, I grabbed the dice from her stick and set them myself in 1 second.  The boxman (I knew him as well) laughed and told the stick to just pass me the dice because I took less time setting them than she did and I was better at it.<\/p>\n<p>\tHere is a post I wrote that is in the wisdom pages that could help you with learning to do it.<\/p>\n<p>\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.goldentouchcasino.net\/forum\/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=112\">&quot;How to Set the Dice Quickly&quot;<\/a><\/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> Dominator on May 7, 2018, 3:54 pm<\/p>\n<div>DD<\/p>\n<p>\tNice read on your travels with craps!<\/p>\n<p>\tI just can&#8217;t let a few things go though \ud83d\ude42 Stay away from placing the 6\/8 or heaven forbid, placing the 5\/9.Next what you said from shooting from any position on the table.
