Pic or didn't happen.

I have tonight and tomorrow morning to see if I can take a pic.  She'll probably think I'm an old pervert.

I gonna ask permission though.  She looks lethal.

edited to add:  I didn't see her when I went down to play craps.  By the way, my session was short.  I lost $300 in less than 15 minutes.  Even the dealers told us to go take a break.  We all listened.

So what's everyones starting bet for craps?

I start with table min on the inside (5,6,8,9) and don't play the pass line.  Then once I collect from 3 hits, I'm almost even, so depending on how the table is doing, I'll alternate between press and collect every time 1 of my place bets hits.  But on a not so good table, I'll just collect.  I did the math watching youtubers craps channels and write down how my strategy would have worked out.  Pretty much collecting is the way to go as most shooters crap out within 6 throws. And even on a 12 throw, it's still better to collect usually, than pressing.  But pressing is fun.

Then if I'm up, I'll place the 4/10 or hardways with $1 and parlay.  If the table isn't doing to well, but not cold enough to walk away, I'll then lay the 4 and 10 instead of betting don't pass to hedge my bet.  And once my place bets have collected enough, I'll take down my lay bets.

I almost always play the ATS (555).

Since craps is so fluid, the strategy does change after a few shooters or even mid shoot, like if the 4 or 10 are coming up a lot.

i try to minimize the amount I will lose while making more when I when.  That's the whole attraction with the odds bets -- if you lose the same number of rolls that you win, you will make more than you lose because the odds pay more.

At the Fashion Show Mall there is a store called Casino Quest.  It sells gambling paraphernalia and also offers people a chance to learn table games in a casino setting but no money involved.  They charge $25 an hr. per person to learn table games like pai gow, blackjack, 3 card poker, craps, etc. 

Casino Quest=CEG Dealer School

I watch their youtube.  THey try diff strategies for craps, roulette, and BJ.  Plus they're very entertaining. Met Alex and Daddy David both times we visited their store.  They are also a dealer school that's off strip, but will soon be moving to the Fashion Show.

For roulette, which I never play, their Romanowski strat looked good. YOu're invested $200 and win $25 each spin with a 96% chance of winning (lose only if  1 of 6 numbers hit) .  So I tried this and guess what...got wacked on the first roll or on the 2nd or 3rd.  So being down $200 each wack and winning only $25 per spin, you can see it takes many spins just to break even.



After losing $1K just on this over a 2 day trial, I gave up.  Many dealers never heard of this and they agreed it sounds good on paper. Until they saw me getting wacked.  So this shows, even if there are better odds in your favor, you still need luck.

This makes it sound so easy.  Everytime I hear about a strategy, I have to remind myself that if it were full proof, then the casino's would pull it.

As I said, i took my younger daughter for her 21st birthday.  We ate at the Hard Rock, and after, I handed her $200 and said go find a machine you like. 

15 minutes later, she found me looking all confused.  She asked, "Is this real -- like dollars?"  She showed me a cash-out ticket for over $2100! 

Yeah, it's better to be lucky than good!

 

So no one mentions D Lucky?

I went to Google and typed in "Who or what is D Lucky?"   

Sorry.  Had no idea who or what it was.  Now I know.  I think my brother-in-law would probably know this person and follows him on instagram.  My brother-in-law is a 99.9% slot player.  The other .1% he plays video poker.  Very badly.

He watches the YT slot stars that play and post their winnings on Vegas trips.  I swear I see the saliva dripping down his mouth as he watches......

Me, I play slots when the craps tables are full or I took a beating at craps or I don't "feel it" to play.  I must admit I like playing the Buffalo Gold slots.  I won some and lost some on Buffalo Gold.  It is addicting.

I also like to play those older single line 3-reel mechanical slots like Red White and Blue, Double Triple Stars, Double Gold and others like it.

Some say he's a scammer.  But I say he's good at marketing.  He's mainly on IG.  He only post his winners for high limit slots.  You have to pay him $1700 and he tells you what slot to play.  You must use your own money and he doesn't accept tip.  He does only post his winners because there is no way he has only winners, because the casinos would ban him.

What he does provide is the opportunity for people to bet high limit who would have never done it on their own. Many of his vids are like $50-$200 a spin on Top Dollar, Pinball, or Dragon link type games and the person hits within $1K.  The winnigs are like $5K+.  Many HI people book him.  He's allowed to film and I HI guy won $100K on Top Dollar, off a $200 a spin bet.

Many of these people aren't gamblers as he used to ask if they play slots and most say no or very little.  Which tells me they don't understand the Random Number Generator (RMG). 

He makes you sign a NDA that you cannot talk about your experience and stuff like that. I would never #1 pay to have someone tell me what to play and #2 sign a NDA about it.  If you watch his vids, you can see he plays the same type of games.  So take that $1700 and spend it on said slots.  I know 3 people who booked him.  1 won $8K.  The other lost all, but after their $2K buy in ran out, he gave them another $1K to play of his own money.  And the 3rd won $2K.  But remember, minus the $1700 booking fee and taxes.

Some vids he will put money in for the player if they lose all theirs.  Again, marketing.

Then he's trying to branch out to Blackjack.  All it is is that he's martingaling.  But gain, most don't gamble, so they don't know any better.  And he again provides the opportunity for people to bet high limit. The bets are like $100-$1400 a hand.

1 guy did post his XP on IG, but deleted it shortly after.  Bascially D Lucky has like 5-10 people waiting in the high limit slots for him to show up.  You can tell they're all waiting for him. Each is suppsoed to have a 15 min time slot. But when you bring $5K and at $200 a spin, you know that's depleted in less than 5 mins.  He doesnt' allow you to film nor another person to be with you.  If you do want someone to be with you, they have to pay like $300.  What this guy saw was that all 6 people lost. So the casino made at least $15K in 30 mins. Which is why they allow him to do what he does.
