Well, when I heard Skinny mention a boring game, I had to chuckle. My last four outings with the dice have been just that. All four trips consisted of 4-5 days of play at casinos that all differed. One was a cruise, one in Tahoe, and two in Vegas. All four trips were winners. I’m not talking big amounts here because I play a 3,4,5 game and a ten dollar pass line, with full odds. The cruise was single odds that I supplemented with place bets. I stayed on track with the Big Skinny and just plugged along. My wins after 4 trips and many sessions were: 3000, 500, 1500, and 1000. This was over a period of 6 months. I approach it almost like a job. I go to win and that’s it. I am very selective about where and when I play and anything that gets in the way of my edge I have to consider.
I know enough to make the casino a little nervous if they are really uptight about losing. On the cruise the first night I hit them pretty good. After that, they were trying everything to disrupt my throw. This included the stick person holding the stick out one foot into the table. They told me I had to throw harder and stand back further. I took it as a challenge. It was the only table on the ship and it had a beautiful bounce.The next evening when the stick person held the stick out I just threw the dice into the stick and her and that was the end of the problem. I did back off on my bets. It was only single odds and I had no need to win big. I just wanted to prove I could beat them and go home a winner. There will be opportunities to bet bigger stakes another day. I practice staying calm and breathing. I was the only person playing every night. That makes it hard to hide.
I have time and try to enjoy the journey. I know now that for me the next step is to start putting more at risk. I play the Big Skinny religiously. I do not wander in my betting and it is boring if you are there for your gambling fix. I know now that I have the discipline to win and if I decide I want to go wild, I may or may not get lucky. I know that I have that option.
I like Vegas the best because they don’t sweat the money as much as the others. I haven’t been out of Nevada much so I will be looking for other venues now. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Have dice, will travel. Please use PM to inform. Thanks
