Well I’m definitely late to the party vs. my other classmates.  I got way too caught up in work the last 2 months of the year and didn’t even know we had already been granted access here.  

I had had some semblance of success at craps prior to the class in October….win some, lose some, decent rolls, and quite a few vomit rolls.  But I’m sure as with some others who have attended GTC classes in the past, it was quite a shock to see that every single thing I had been doing was not only wrong but downright criminal (at least to my pocketbook).  

I learned more in two days about dice throwing and proper betting than I had learned in an entire year of craps play.  Had no idea my stance was wrong.  Had no idea my grip on the dice and throwing them was wrong like a squealing pig out of Deliverance.  I knew about come bets and how they work, but always avoided them because of the number having to be rolled twice.  Ain’t nothing sweeter than a repeater, but you’re lucky if they get past roll 3 in most of the casinos I frequent.  Never realized that you’re not betting on other shooters to win.  You’re betting on them in a way that you don’t lose as much when they shit roll.  

A few people told me I was loco for dropping one large for this class.  Now having the benefit of hindsight, I’ll be dropping out that come bet and grinning inside when they roll big red.  I have to say thanks and job well done to all of the instructors….even Billy the Kid who wanted to chop my wrist off on the 2nd day 🙂 🙂   I look forward to a refresher class as well as other classes in the future.
