I was getting very encouraging results on my practice rig at home, so I made 3 casino trips using the optimal sets from Smart Craps.  To summarize, 7 sessions were played over the course of the 3 trips, winning 5 sessions and losing 2 sessions.  The bets were pass line and 1 come bet exclusively with 2x odds basically (the table mins varied from $5 to $15, so the odds were varied to maintain a spread of about $60).  I came home a winner on all 3 trips \u2013 winning a total of 6x the spread of $60.  Not a lot of money by any means , but quite refreshing, since these trips were preceded by 4 losing sessions back to back on a previous trip.  One of the losing sessions was on bouncy tables \u2013 one of which was traditional bounce or better 3 weeks earlier.  The bouncy table layout was just replaced with microfiber. Needless to say, I didn\u2019t waste any more money on that table.   Later that evening, I waited about 1 to 2 hrs. for a table at SL1 that I had heard was low bounce ( I only play from SL1 or I don\u2019t play).  The only time I had the dice, I rolled and rolled using the Smart Craps dice sets on pass line and 1 come bet.  The number of rolls was not counted in that hand but probably around 30 or so.  In that 1 hand I won 5x my spread and I colored-up and went home a winner, more than making up for the earlier losses.<br \/>\n\t\tLessons learned:<br \/>\n\t(1)\t Smart Craps dice sets really work as long as I bet into my edge.<br \/>\n\t(2)\t Don\u2019t play on bouncy tables where my edge is not good enough to overcome the randomness resulting from the bounce.<br \/>\n\t(3)\tTipping the crew goes a long way in preventing casino heat.<br \/>\n\tA side note on 1 winning session: the only hand I rolled on that table (which was a near perfect bounce \u2013 the best I have ever seen), I hit the ATS.  I never bet the ATS (the house advantage is way too high for my edge), but a guy at SR1 did bet the ATS.   Because he won over $1500, he tipped me $50.  That\u2019s a first!<\/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 July 19, 2018, 5:11 pm<\/p>\n<div>Smart play and discipline.

I must take this opportunity to praise the GTC teaching.  I read GTC articles and books (mostly &#8216;Casino Craps, Shoot to Win&#8217;) and watch GTC videos repeatedly.  They are a wealth of information and experience expressed simply and backed by explanations of the mechanics, physics and math.
