r/Craps

drove into md live this morning just to play my free $145 slot play and spun it into $78 on a random slot (they dont let you use it on bubble craps for some reason). i saw the crapsless machine empty so i figured ill play this free money for kicks and giggs. i went $5/5/5 on the ats and the mfer went on a that god roll im always hoping for and hit! went from $78 to $2100! (i lost $200 trying to see if it would hit again, 2 instant PSOs lol)

After all the fireworks were over and the family went to bed, my degenerate self decided it was time to head over to my local Hard Rock Casino for some late-night craps. 😂🎲

Played for about 2 hours and caught some decent rolls throughout the session. One shooter was able to hit the Talls, and I had my 6 and 8 pressed all the way up to $450 on different shooters. I was just waiting for one or two more hits... but of course, they never came. 😭

If those numbers had hit just once or twice more, I would've been up a couple thousand more. That's craps for you. 😂

All in all, it was a fun night. I finally got the dice toward the end of the session and, once again, couldn't get anything going myself. 😑 Apparently, I'm better at winning money off everyone else's rolls lately.

Bought in for $2,000 and colored up for $2,800.

+$800 for a late-night 2-hour session. I'll take it. 🎲💰

I went on a crazy hour and half roll. Unfortunately you are only allowed to hit the boom or bust once. Started with 500$ and was out 4500$. My was out 2500$.

Went back to my home away from home, Grand Sierra Resort, for another weekend of content creation.

Friday was absolutely brutal for me, so I decided to cut my losses and give it another shot Saturday morning before checking out.

I got to the table and bought in for $1.3K. The guy next to me said he would let me shoot for him, and man... I went straight into a PSO from the left straight out. 🥲 Not exactly the comeback I was hoping for. 😂

The dice moved over to the right side of the table, and that's when everything changed. One guy went on about a 30-minute roll, hitting plenty of 6s and 8s along the way. He also hit a bunch of hard ways, but unfortunately, I couldn't catch any back-to-back for my parlays.

Then came the best part of the roll. He only needed the 11 to complete the ATS... and he hit it! 🎲🔥

I only had $10/$10/$10 on the ATS, but I'll gladly take it!

Two rolls later came the number none of us wanted to see... the 7.

After how brutal Friday was, I wasn't about to push my luck. I colored up for $4.2K from my $1.3K buy-in and called it a morning.

Sometimes you just have to catch the right shooter, ride the wave, and know when it's time to leave. 🎲

Headed to Caesar’s Danville to watch some World Cup and throw the dice. Walked in to the last available spot on the $25 table. Had a few good shooters in the first hour and was up about $1,200.

A couple of old timer regulars showed up after some folks cashed out and started playing the dark side - very much killed the table. Slogged the way through and slowly gave back everything and nearly all of my buy in. Decided to shoot one more time and had my best roll of the night.

Ended up going from ~$300 left to just shy of $3,000 on my roll! Stayed for one more shooter - he was a quick out.

Discretion is the better part of valor so cashed out and headed for the house.

Crews were chatty, efficient and very few mistakes on this trip. Looking forward to gaining higher status with Caesar’s over time so I can get some comped rooms and play longer sessions.

Played with 60, walked out with almost 3200. Tried to do it again the next day and the machine threw me 7’s every other number. Definitely humbled me.

(This was my Sunday session.)

Feels like all the don't players are coming out of the woodworks.

I was at Sky River in Sacramento Sunday night for a quick roll.

2 - $15 tables and 1 at $10 all pretty full.

So I slid into a spot at the $10. Quickly got my action out and looked up for the shooter and I see mountains of don't passes on both sides of the table.

7 of the 11 players are playing the don't and pretty heavily. And they are winning. And cheering for the 7, calling for it on each roll.
Not a table for me. But stubbornly I try and roll and it's like throwing over a 2 story barn. I get a few numbers still and find a hole by the don't come bar that I'm aiming for. Hit 3 numbers and feeling better.

So NOW would be the time to mid roll buy while I have the dice for $ 12,000 In crumpled $100's and $20's.
They don't even stop the dice.
They want me to roll with a mountain of cash in the center, the box man actively counting and spreading money and don't forget all the don't passes.

I just say turn off my bets please and throw them wonky, no setting no aiming just toss. 2 throws and a 7.
The tables did not spark joy.

So head to bubble craps and claw it back.
Ran a couple $20's to $100. took a small walking break and then came back and hit an 1,1,1 ATS for a smidge of profit.
Call it and head home to pack for my trip.

This was an old session , weekend of Juneteenth.

Stayed at The Row Caesar’s properties Thursday. $15 tables at silver legacy and el dorado. 1 table open at each. Silver legacy has an electronic hybrid table as well looks to only be open weekends and I didn’t catch it as I was at GSR the next day.

Played mostly with the old dealers at el dorado. Nice fellows but they are yappers. Often slowing the game down to talk to each other or players. Very friendly but tough to play with sometimes.
Especially when a regular buys in big and is just maxing out the don’t pass and completely taking the attention of the dealer and stick with tall tales. Had to take a break til he was gone.
Throughout the night small hit and runs (walk around the Row exploring and playing machines and tables , had like 10k steps just that night.)

Later in the night had 2 rolls by myself that went great and I was coloring up and a guy asked if I would stay for 1 more and shoot so he can bet with me. I obliged and just full pressed from min bet across and kept full pressing everything. Missed the ATS still but it was 3 pretty good rolls in a row and I called it at that.
Ended up the night about +$1300.

Woke up grabbed a coffee and walked circles and smacked a few bubble buttons until I saw they were opening the tables at 10am, grabbed breakfast and then headed to the el dorado tables for the friendly old timer dealers. They were doing something wonky I’ve never seen.

I’ve played on many half tables with only 2 dealers, 1 stick and 1 base. But we had 2 bases no stick with the full table open. Passing the stick in between the two depending on shooter. But that made center bets hard as they couldn’t really reach the horn or horn highs or c&e depending on player. So since I’m in my favorite spot of Stick Left 1 with no stickman I started clearing my hands and counting out and placing the center bets for me and the other 2 guys on the table. Hello I’m a dealer now 👋

Sounds like it was the box ladies first time watching over craps because of a few call outs. So we were explaining craps in real time for her to “ok” the payouts. and so she was ok with the other wonky stuff happening and me helping out the old guys with the center bets. Only played about an hour but it was a real fun way to start the day.

After that fun I went to GSR to film some videos with Taka Rolls for his YT. And I got ate up. 3 sessions and I couldn’t get out more than 2 shooters with any type of regress and profit. Rough for me. Down like -$800 of the profit from night before. So no pictures of GSR cause I was hurting. 😂 you can catch my PSO’s on film in a week or two.

Back at my local Hard Rock Casino for another hit-and-run attempt. I sat down with the same $900 in chips I colored up with the day before.

I stuck with my usual 2-hit-and-regress strategy but added max odds behind the pass line this time. Things started off rough. Nobody could make a point for the first several shooters... myself included. Before I knew it, my bankroll had been whittled down to barely $200.

Then the shooter next to me on SR1 got the dice and everything changed.

The guy went on an absolute heater. We were all rooting for him to make his point of 6, but he just kept rolling 5s and 9s over and over. I was hopping the 6 and 8, then jokingly said, "Watch this... I'll hop the 5s and 9s so you'll finally roll 6s and 8s."

Literally the very next rolls... 8... 8... 8... then finally the 6 for the point. 🤣 The whole table got a good laugh out of it.

From there I kept pressing my place bets and rode the roll. He eventually hit the Talls, and I decided to turn my bets off. Two rolls later... the dreaded 7.

Looking back, if I hadn't spent most of the session digging myself out of that early hole, I probably could've doubled my bankroll on that roll. No complaints though—I managed to color up at just over $1,300 after tipping the dealers.

Another successful hit and run! 🎲

Just got back from Vegas Horseshoe this morning. Was a rollercoaster of a trip.

Day 1 - Arrived at noon. Play a lot of bubble craps and could not get anything going. PSO after PSO. I looked around the area and seemed like everyone was getting absolutely crushed. Lot of people sitting down and getting up within 5 minutes. I play very aggressive and it crushed me. I found myself down $4.5k by 6pm and tapped out for the evening.

Day 2 - Slept in til noon because I smoked out last night. Not that it's relevant to this story, but I was feeling refreshed! Woke up and walked down to the table craps with $1k and bought in.

Table Craps - Was a $25 min table with the ATS. I was playing 10 across on the bonus with a pass line bet and $30 on 6/8 which was being pressed. Managed to survive a couple shooters. Then came lady luck. I was up a few hundred so I threw 10-25-10 on the bonus and she ran on a heater. Rolled for 25 minutes or so. She had rolled everything but 2 numbers towards the end and the remaining numbers came fast. No sweat needed. The last number was a Yo and I screamed like a little girl when it hit. The table went nuts and she came over to high five everyone. I tipped her $100, dealers $100, and cashed out after she crapped out.

Back to bubble craps for revenge - Took my new found money to bubble craps for revenge. I had about $4.5k on me by now. Bought in for $1.5k on Easy Craps. I started out with a few good rolls and then came the same old disaster. Point, roll, 7 out. I was playing $25 on extremes, $10 across, and the ATS of course for $10-10-10. The machine brought me down to my knees and with the last remaining $400 or so, I went 'all-in'. ATS $9/$25/$9. Then came a heater! I must have rolled 30 numbers if I had to guess, but money was flowing back in. Ran the machine back up to $2.3k. Last 2 numbers to hit were boxcars and Yo. When the Yo hit, I let out a moan. It was better than sex. I was high as a kite. Handpay $3.8k.

It was a very strange rest of the evening. The gambling gods had finally turned and blessed me one time. I played the new Monopoly slots at $20 a spin and hit the bonus which paid out $1k. Played a few other slots paying out $500 and $800. Went to the high rollers room to play BlackJack with a friend and came up $1k. Ended up paying dinner at Lawry's for all my friends.

At this point, I had somewhere around $10k-$11k in my pocket. For my last circus act, I went back to bubble craps. I'm sure some of you have seen the YouTuber Bluff with his crazy Craps antics. I wanted to try it one time. So I went $150 on extremes, $100 across. Rolled, point set, 7 out... Surely, this can't happen twice right? "Repeat bet", rolled, point set, 7 out. LMAO.

Took my remaining tickets to the cage. Cashed out and called it a trip. Up a few grand on the trip and reached my tier credits on a 5x multiplier weekend. W trip.

Started off down bad with a few PSOs. Originally bought in for $500 and was down to $200 before I topped off for another $300. Dice came to me and I finally went on a really good roll and made my original buy in back plus some. After another round of bad rolls, a woman with her husband was up and never played before. Bet 10-5-10 on the bonuses. Needed a 12 for the talls. I bet $5 on horn high 12 and it hits. On the very next roll, only needed 2 for the roll em all. Last second I ask to move my horn bet to the high aces and it smacks. Gave her $100 after the bad number came. Next was my turn and was hitting all the box numbers, hard ways, and made 4 points. Bet $10 on the fire bet for myself and hit for $300 on that. Had close to $400 on the table when I finally sevened out. Tipped the dealers $75 (not pictured) and probably over $100 in hard way two ways. Best shooting I've had thus far. What a night.
