Woman in Atlantic City rolls the bones for four hours

I'd love to know how much she won.

 

The casino wouldn't say it ... but what about the winner herself?

 

Refresh my memory....Would it be correct to say, given they bet equal amounts, that the roller wins more than the others piggybacking her? Or the other way around?

That's kind of a stupid question. I guess what I'm getting at is....does the roller get better odds or any other kind of advantage for staying up there for long periods of time?

 

Wow... I held the dice for like 10 minutes the other day and played at a table for a little more than an hour and walked away up a couple hundred. I would imagine that entire table walked away very very very very happy.

 

I wanted to figure out how craps works once. But there were too many bets and none of it made any sense to me.

I stick with blackjack.

 

Assuming it's either a $5 or $10 table, my guess is that she turned her $100 into a couple of thousand, probably somewhere between $3,000 and $5,000, but not knowing whether she's also playing the odds or other numbers after the point has been made, you don't know how much she really has riding at any one time.

What strikes me as odd in the story is the 154 rolls that are cited. No one counts the rolls at a craps table; there's way too much going on. Unless someone at casino security went back and looked at 4+ hours of security videotape, I want to know where that figure came from.

 

The roller is limited in the kind of bets they are permitted to make, but the odds don't change depending on whether you have the dice or not.

 

With everything going on, the table makes the game look very complicated. The basics are quite simple; anyone can learn enough to really enjoy the game (or hate it, depending on how the dice come up) in 10 minutes.

 

Not that I am that polished on ebonics/ghetto slang, but aren't "bones" actually dominoes and not dice?
