SO left side
Half table
5 players
Wanted to gauge the table again so no bet on first 2 shooters.
Problem. 2nd shooter made 3 points and rolled a nice hand of around 16. Oh well.
Tip toed in with $10 PL to kill the time while the dice worked around. Lost a bit with crap CO numbers then didn’t go back up.
Next 2 rollers were great but I was to chicken to back them more than $10 PL. Must have been over 20 rolls each. Oh well.
The hard ways were flying chips going everywhere. I’ve never made a prop bet in my life so I find it hard to follow.
Dice come to me and I’m not comfortable at SO.
Rested the dice against the back wall at 45deg before toss which helped me stabilise.
Set for all 7s and 3v.
Had a nice hand of around 16 with 2 points. Lots of hard ways.
Started with $10 PL few naturals and $22 inside.
The guy next to me who I’ve seen few times now big spender says why am I not on the hardways.
I say I’ve never done it before and he gives me $25 chip and says go for it.
So I put $5 each hard ways. And kept the $5 change. Cheeky. But I’d made him a few dollars so fair enough. But it was very generous of him.
Going well got my 6 from $6 up to $30 yay by going up 1 unit at a time. Just waiting to start take and press.
Lost one hardway on easy 8. Went back up on it.
Then the second half of table opens up.
Must have been a good 5 mins getting setup.
Tossed and one dice jumps up into a woman’s chest nearly going into her dress.
I should have come down or turned off.
Next roll seven out.
Really wanted to get a hardways if anything just to validate that guy giving me $25 to bet it. Oh well.
Had to get back to work. But really enjoyed the session.
Lots for me to think about how I’m betting.

SR1 on full table
Dice were at SL1
Took 3 shooters to read the table look at what everyone had and what was going on.
Haven’t really done that before. Very interesting to gauge the players. And the dealers.
Did a couple of $10 DP winners after they hit first point. AKA choppy table short leash play.
After next shooter made 2 quick points I then did $10 DP 4, lay $20 in odds. Got a win on that as well.
The 4 other players on SR passed the dice. My turn.
Set 3V and had a nice roll of 14. Made 4 points. And dice were landing ok.
Started with $10 PL and hit 12. Loaded up again on $10 PL and $44 inside.
25% of buy in. But it felt ok.
Took 2 hits same bet and chips moved around as the point shifted to other numbers.
Got it back to $22 inside and then started pressing 1 unit each hit
Got the 6 up 3 units to $24 was really wanting to get it to $30 but it wasn’t meant to be.
Each time at the tables I’m beginning to see patterns in the players. It’s very interesting to see their “way with the dice”. Everyone’s got their style and betting method.
Today was first time I saw a guy play both sides. $25 PL and $25 DP. Then would lay 2x odds on the DP. I chuckled to myself as I’ve wargamed that play. I noticed he didn’t bet on me after I made my first point.
Had just stopped in after work so quick hit and run as per usual.
I always make a point of thanking the dealers and others for the game. I think the dealers are starting to recognise me now.

SL1
Half table of 5 players
3v set
Shooting much better. Aimed for close to back wall and much better dice dying after hitting wall. Really prefer this position.
Interesting note: a whole family was playing, Mum, Dad and kids and they had something going with the pit boss since he was asking them what drinks they wanted. In Australia on the normal casino floor you usually have to get your own drinks. I thought it strange but I didn’t have time to ask them about it. They were all bleeding chips and throwing the dice off the table every second shot. It was a circus.
They had very short hands. Bet dark on them got $10 DC set with single odds (second time laying odds – felt good – felt right). Got knocked off the DC few times with the 7. Should have done a DP instead.
Got the dice and had a 13 roll hand with 2 points.
Tip toed in with $10 PL and $22 inside
Protected bets and then started pressing but got cut short.
Still not consistent enough with toss and need to concentrate to remain focused.
Stick change mid hand. And then they opened up the other side of the table. More delays
2 rolls after and I could feel the dice not sitting right in my grip and after a totally shocking throw got the 7
Had to return to work as really busy day, so no time to play with full table, which I haven’t done in over 2 years – before I started studying craps. Was ashame as SL1 was agreeing with me.
I’ve decided that since my time is so short 30mins or less, I really need to adjust my betting on myself. I’m not making the most of my time with the dice.
With on average 3-5 players on Friday early afternoon, unless someones on a decent roll I’ll only get one or two chances with the dice.

SL2 position on half table.
3v set
Couldn’t get anything going.
Had 3 turns with the dice no more than 6 rolls each.
Concentrating on dice behaving same each toss and hitting my chosen landing zone.
$10 PL and $22 inside
Tried $10 DC a couple of times got hit by 11
Got one $10 DC up on 4 took $20 odds (my first time laying odds) and it bull frogged 4 straight back. It was a bit disappointing my first laying of odds didn’t work out. Will try again next week.
One happy camper (not me) had a $25 horn going to start and hit 3 12s in a row, not sure how much he won, as he upped his first bet, but the dealers were taking a long time to work out the payout. Once he got the money he disappeared. Smart move.
Had to get back to work so no time to try something different.

SL2 for first time and I was more comfortable than at straight out. But much prefer SL1.
One other player who set 2V and had a relaxed toss from way up high near chip rail was at SL1. Kept PSO and losing money like crazy. Was a regular as the dealers knew him. He got 2 points in 8 rolls after he disappeared for 10 mins and reappeared with more cash. Only to lose all that as well. Lessons for me not to do the same.
I had 3 rolls of 6, 9 and 7 numbers, no points made. My setting is getting better. Toss landing still moving around. Trying to find the best place to land.
Just stuck with $10 PL and was more interested in getting my toss dialled in.
However I have to stop doubting myself. Even $22 inside same betting would have done ok.
Tried a DC $10 after 3 count when I wasn’t shooting. Kept getting picked off. Tried a DP $10 got picked off.
Got beat 7 times in a row. So called it a day. Always next week.
