    How much of that 10 grand did they tip you? Hopefully, a generous amount.

    That it took us to the bottom of Page 2 to get a Rush reference, I consider it to be a mild upset.

    IJAG:
    Right there with you regarding craps; blackjack is easier. I can count to 21; I can't figure out what the hell is goin' on with craps.

    Used to feel like that. After you play a few times it is just as easy.

    I don't like standing and waiting around though in craps, which is why blackjack will always be better.

    No question. When she finally did seven-out, I bet you couldn't even see the felt for all the chips that must have been on the layout. And only then did the pit bosses stop sweating (if they were still employed; I wonder how many stall tactics they were using over the last couple hours of that).

    Thankfully, I'm long since removed from my degenerate gambling days, but I can daydream about how much I would have made off a 154-throw roll. It would have been pay-off-the-mortgage money -- that is, if my flight was leaving an hour after the roll.

    I'm telling you they may not have lost so much. Odds are they lost, but people are stupid. They make dumb bets. Hoppin bets, C & E's don't comes...

    I am not getting into a Texas deathmatch over this, but at least what I've seen for decades, the people play the points...4-6 and 8-10. I've never seen people load up on the craptastic bets, and when a roller is rolling hot, anyone betting is playing the pass, come, and points.

    Just my two cents.
     
  9. I once rolled for close to an hour at the Bellagio in Vegas.

    Of course I was the only one at the table and I lost about $600.

    And with that $600 you might have landed the 2 ladies in your avatar.

    According to this annoying report, she says she made 10 grand - others made more, and she tipped.

    Poin' you are probably right, but I've lost enough money at the craps table to know, that's not for sure.
