Thanks Irock and Dnix!

Okay, that's weird. I have cards everywhere except Wynn. I normally play MGM props and golden nugget when I'm DT. I have used my total rewards at Osheas before and I always give my cards. I've played literally hours and hours at a time when I don't lose my money. Craps never bores me!

I know they don't rate well on free odds, so maybe that's why I'm not getting any deals?
I usually cash in 100-200 as well.

So, let's say, $10 on pass, $10 or more behind it, then two come bets, both with at least single odds. So, that's $60 min. I rarely if ever play place numbers anymore and I don't do hi lo or hardways. An occasional $2 yo, but that's it.

I want offers! I'm gonna have to start playing at the harrahs properties I think...my BIL plays $25 a hand BJ and still gets free room offers even tho he hasn't been back since 07.

I would say Im at least even, if not up on the long term, so I wouldnt say thats a factor. I always buy in for a $100. If I lose it, I move to another table, and buy in for the same. If I leave the table for any reason (except RR), I cash in no matter what, and buy-in again.

Also, regarding the pass line, and odds (behind it). You should play a $5 table. Its better to have $5 on the pass line, and $15 odds, than $10 and $10. Theres no good reason to play a $10 table, unless your gonna play max odds. IMHO

Oh yeah you are right about that! I always play $5, but I have a hell of a time finding a table. MGM and the other strip places are usually only $5 in the afternoon. Free odds are where it's at. On a $5 table, I would prob do: $5, $10-15 behind, $5 come, same $10-15 behind, etc..I always hit downtown on sunday and even at GN, where we always go, finding $5 is hard, and this is during the day! Any recommended casinos?

Always at IP, most of the time at Ballys (75%), and sometimes at harrahs (50%).

[partyinvegas25]

okay I will try IP this time for sure...I've never played craps at Ballys or Harrahs either, just flamingo and osheas for the total rewards props

The greatest roll I was ever a part of happened at IP

Tell the story...

The greatest roll I was ever a part of happened at IP

mine was at paris, and it was amazing. every single person at the table hit 3 numbers or more, before crapping out. It went around the table twice.

[partyinvegas25]

oh I love that! The last time I played at MGM, we played from 1230-430am, and people were hitting #s like crazy. I went from 100 to 550, my cousin had $100 to 1450, but she had a guy helping her out. He would add like $50 to her odds on pass so she was killing it. Still, it was amazing. One guy at the table had gone from one TEN DOLLAR chip to several hundred-1k. He was a novice who hit it at the right time!

Well it was about 1am and this drunk guy in flip flops and a Hawaiian shirt walked up to the table , demanded the dice cause he's on a hot streak. He was going to get escorted out but the table collectively agreed to pass the dice to him. This dude rolled what seemed like forever and when he sevened out we collectively passed the dice right back to him. He rolled again For a loong ass time. The pit boss was extremely nervous. He would roll 30 numbers before making his point it was unreal. He sevened out and we passes the Dice AGAIN to him. He did it again , by this time he was actually hitting 25 dollar horns and hoppin bets on top of making his place bets. The chip bank on the crap table is I would say 50 rows wide and about 5 rows deep. Well when he was done only the first row of bank chips was left. Guess what's under those chips towards the last row? About a 1/4" thick of dust because the chips were never exposed that far back.

When he finished his 3rd set he said he was done and he's cashing, we all cashed out and followed him to the cashiers cage. There was only one lady and she was in shock on how much money she was paying out , she was asking security and making phone calls for more money. She wouldn't tell me how much she paid out but it was a first

I was betting wimpy 5 and 10 chips I was a newb , started with 80 left with 1900. I was by far little bank on the table I didn't even really know how to bet. That's what hooked me.

So now, if you see a drunk guy in a hawaiian shirt or a first time lady shooter, get your wallet out!

I used to think that about the first time lady shooter, but it hasnt always worked out. Im never opposed to it though.

That is an awesome story!! 80 to 1900 wow!! I love how you guys passed the dice to him, good call. The last time I played the guy next to me was the hot shooter. He was this little guy who would yell, "payday!" and it was....next time I'll just keep passing em back!

I have no comp cards in Vegas, which is funny, because last time I was there I literally cleaned out my bank account in day 2 of a 4 day trip. Was with my ex, and needless to say she wasn't happy paying for the rest of the trip. That's what 6 hours at the $100 minimum blackjack tables starting at 4am (after about 12 hours of drinking) does to a college student.

I do get comps in Reno but that doesn't help me much. I'm trying to just party and not gamble this trip. We'll see how well that goes, haha.

Does anyone know a place with cheap(er) bottles? Like an ultra lounge all the forum members could meet up at? I'm willing to buy at least 1 or 2 myself for everyone if the price is right.

Also, i've heard a lot about The Bank on Sunday. I think that's my plan right now. Friday and Saturday are up in the air, but within the next two weeks I want to have rock solid plans. Does anyone have their days/nights planned out yet?

[dnix]

I think Cherry has $100 bottles on fri., and CA has similiar deals. Rum Jungle has $100 skyy and cuervo, and $200 goose and patron.
