We got whacked at Graton. In for $2,500, out for $0
My friend J had an errand to do nearby, so we decided to make a small trip out of it. We're on a win streak, so why not, right?
We started off with some BJ to use some promo match bets and we pretty much lose all the big hands. Whatever, lets go play craps now.
We buy in and the box / dealers are telling us its cold as hell. One shooter the other side and we join an empty rail. We're playing quarter pass line with full odds. J is doing a more aggressive betting system with $150 on 6/8, $100 on 9 and $25 on 5. He's collecting first win and then doing partial presses like 150>210>240 etc. I am going with my standard press once or twice, collect, and then monkey press.
The first orbit is pretty good. We hit a few points, our place bets are $200-300 and the rail is growing. This guy next to us joins, he's betting $10 passline, full odds, and min place bets. We're doing well enough that he's starting to bet aggressively with us. He's shooting and hits a $25 hardways for himself. We have a whole rail of greens, and it's looking very promising. At peak, J and I were both up about $1,500 and the best place number I hit was $300 on 9.
We're feeling ourselves but the table runs cold. We get about 4 PSOs and we color up for a small win.
We go back to BJ and proceed to lose everything for 15 min and go back to the craps table.
We buy in and try to get things moving. The dealer is the fastest dealer in the house, but he's also one mode all the time, hard ass. I'm tossing chips to the stick for hardways and she's not trying to catch them. They land and roll to the box and he demonstrates "proper" chip throwing technique. Whatever.... and as we're getting our asses handed to us, a few more times, the center throw is rolling and he's shaming me for my shitty chip tosses. Like man, not the time. J is rebuying between shooters and going all in per roll and losing. We get like 5 or 6 shooters with really short rolls and we don't really have much hope. We're trying to bet light, bet heavy, anything to get something going and it just didn't work.
J tries some quick BJ hands for $100 a piece and just loses them all.
Fuck it, lets go to bubble craps. J and I each throw $100 in for a full press roll, not good. We do this two more times to no avail and I decided to play for myself. I get a $200 roll to about $1300 before sevening out. I only collected $400 that roll. We try a few more times and get PSOs and its just not worth chasing. No real chances for a comeback today.
Thats how it goes sometimes!
