Hard rock Hollywood. Never seen this happen, point was already set (6), and stick man pushed dice to not just the wrong person, but the other side of the table. The guy immediately picks up the dice and throws a 6. Dealer pays me and others for our passline and odds. My chips went into my rack.

We all kind of laughed it off for a second, then the box man said no roll, asked for my winnings back. He didn’t even know what I had for odds. Thought that was crazy I had to return my winnings. Literally the next roll as I put my chips back out was a 6 lol.

Man this session was a lot of fun. I bought in for 900. $25 table. My casino charges vig on buys up front so I don’t even bother. I focus on inside place bets. I like to partial press, partial collect every hit. I also switched to Molly during this session for a little bit. Was up slightly after a couple solid shooters early. Then everything immediately went to 💩. Not to be too superstitious but you could just tell the players at the table had bad vibes/energy/broke bois. Dice shouldn’t care but sometimes they do. I rolled like 🗑️ too so I can’t talk.

My 900 was dwindling fast… PSO after PSO. Probably 5 or 6 shooters couldn’t hit a point. Eventually I decided to switch to the dark side with max odds. Guy hits his point. I go back on the DP with max odds, he hits his point again. Then I didn’t play pass or DP, just $30 each on 6 and 8. And I tossed a quarter on the DC. Dude threw the 7 before my DC could travel 😂.
With a few chips left, tossed in another $500. Around this time, most of the table went broke and left. New blood arrived. Table was still cold, I was down to probably $200ish. At that point, went all in. Hey, hit a bet or two. Got some ammo. Table finally turned around for me. There were 3 out of 4 shooters that had awesome, long rolls. 2 “talls” were hit but I never bet the bonus anyway. But made a lot on the rolls. Eventually found myself with about 1900 in my rack (profit of $500ish). Still didn’t want to leave if I was steadily growing my bankroll. So I kept playing til luck was bad again, with around 300 profit after dealer tips.

Played for 3.5 hours and averted disaster. Main point I wanted to share the story for was it’s crazy how sometimes a smaller buy in of 600-700ish may just not cut it. In this case I was down 1200 with 200 left and thankfully was able to make a full comeback. But if I only brought 1k or even 1.2k, I’d have walked out with 0. Obviously it doesn’t always work out like that.

Hopefully this isn’t against forum rules. Started buying chains a few months back, have a few now, nothing crazy. Nicest is a 24” 3mm 14k rope from HRC which I wear the most. Have a couple of sterling silver chains and a couple DY. I’m narrowing down my preferences as I decide what I really love and am willing to spend a decent amount of money on.

I’ve gone back and forth between a bad ass Miami Cuban or Franco and finally decided on the Franco, now I’m narrowing down MM and length.

I’m 6’5” 225 lb and so far I’ve been sticking with 24”-26”. What I found is during sex (missionary) the chain is in the way, let’s say going in for kisses. 24” is OK but still annoying. I’m leaning towards 24” 4mm Franco but for this reason I think 22” may be better. I’d have to clasp/unclasp the 22” to take on and off which isn’t a big deal but wouldn’t have to do that on a 24”.

Is this something yall have found to be a nuisance too?

4 night cruise, I was a bit unsure what bankroll to bring because I have a tendency to bring 1200ish for one session that could get blown through in an hour 😂

What I found was this- one table, 10 min, 3-4-5x, and generally the table was always full. As you’d expect, everyone there to have a good time, majority seemed to be relatively new players with a few experienced players. Most nights it was the same players which I thought was pretty cool/fun. Dealers were mediocre on payouts but all friendly. I say mediocre on payouts because I don’t do anything crazy on my presses but sometimes I’ll half press 2 numbers / sisters and they’d get confused or pretty slow, and I had to correct errors a few times. Even once they almost paid me 1:1 odds on a 5 or 9 point hitting. Never any issue, everyone was cool.

With this type of setting I found it pretty easy to relax my temptation of betting too heavy and was able to actually have fun with small little $300 buy ins. With full tables (slow action) and everyone in good moods, a $300 buy in could last all night long. Over the 4 nights, the dice were mostly balanced, no loaded dice like they use at hard rock Tampa (lmao), plenty of solid rolls and never got crazy ice cold. Tampa will have hours of no one hitting a point. Overall won money on the cruise. Played almost everything they had (UTH, roulette, BJ, slots), was up on UTH and craps and overall.

Also the ship was mostly lame as far as other activities and the pool was trash so I def was just wanting to mostly gamble 😂
