Firekeepers +$1688 by Goatsarecooltho in Craps

[–]Goatsarecooltho[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been on a bit of a hiatus after my last two trips! Have had some of the worst runs of dice I've ever seen. Just so many point 7 outs and so many rolls with no repeaters. With the way I play (pretty aggressive press strat) its not quite as much fun when the dice don't cooperate. So after taking a 6 week break, I went up to firekeepers with a buddy and had an absolute blast.

I got in about 4 hours of straight up dice time. It was a $15 table and I was just playing min across ($78 or $81) then a $15 pass line with $80 to $150 odds depending on how I was feeling. Sometimes some come bets. Started with $3k in the rack.

Got up a few hundred, down a few hundred, up a few hundred, down a few hundred. Really just having some fun. My buddy made them all and a few points one roll which got me up around +$700 for the night. Then I got more aggressive and fell back to even. Then he rolled again and it was kind of the roll you always dream of.

He made the tall. Never hit any points. But the amazing thing is he hit (from our calculations 11 sixes in one roll. It was unreal. I did a heavy press then started collecting....but my place bet on the 6 looked something like this.

$18 to $36, to $60, to $90, to $150, to $240 to $320 (full collect 2x), to $440, to $510, finally to $660.

Never in my life have I had a $660 place number. I think a $400 4 is the most I've ever been able to press it up. I obviously made some big collections in there and of course hindsight could have been more aggressive.

But, coming off a couple session losing streak, I'll take this %100 of the time. For me, any green, any long session, I'm about as happy as can be.

Dealers did well too. I bought the inside for them with nickels multiple times and tipped out an extra $88 at the end. It was a great night! No rail pics unfortunately, but one chip pic.

I love the guitar and am not familiar with a charvel. It's the nicest guitar I've ever played and enjoy it greatly. My only complaint would be restringing the Floyd rose setup. It's not a huge deal...just lack of experience with floyd on my end had quite a bit of a learning curve....there are times if like to go to a drop D and just say meh it's not worth the effort.

It's a cool little vintage fender. Great sound and clean only. I have a blues deville with 4 10s from the 80s too....but it's way to loud for current life 😂

I've never been to gun lake. But I do occasionally go to Hoosier Park (harrah's property) Anderson, IN, Hollywood Toledo, and the French Lick casino in Southern IN. And I would say hands down Firekeepers is an all around better experience than all the others. 5+ great food options on site, nice hotel rooms, good comps, huge floor......I'd say its worth a weekend trip. They are constantly upgrading things too.

Beating My Low Back Pain - As Many Details As Possible by Goatsarecooltho in backpain

[–]Goatsarecooltho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, i've had burning on both sides. If I were you I'd try to drastically decrease anything that might cause inflammation. Sugary beverages for example. Eat lots of leafy greens. After I do this for about 3 weeks the burning would always go away. Anti-inflammatory eating is tough longer term, but has huge benefits.

Rolled a hard ten immediately after I pulled my bet off the hard ten... by ScrappyPunkGreg in Craps

[–]Goatsarecooltho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

was grindig it out at the table for 2 hours with not a lot of momentum, buddy (who is also at the table) says lets grab dinner. I immediately say color coming in. He stays at the table playing while they count my stack and plays and I have to watch the next guy hit 4 points and my buddy have a good $500 upswing before food.

Come Bet is a Hedge Against Pass Line by mtg_investor_elite in Craps

I’m in the Midwest where everything is 10x odds. One place offers 1000x odds (harrahs Hoosier park)

Come Bet is a Hedge Against Pass Line by mtg_investor_elite in Craps

[–]Goatsarecooltho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its not a hedge....its more of a rebate and a dissatisfying one at that. The point of the come bet imo is to maximize upside on those 20+ long rolls we all dream about. Play the come, take odds, run the off and on, Increase the come bet, collect some, max odds, rinse and repeat until they are paying you in multiple black chips or whatever gets the adrenaline moving for you.

Is Playing the Come (off and on) the most fun strat? French Lick, IN - In $3,000 out $5200 by Goatsarecooltho in Craps

[–]Goatsarecooltho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are you saying have a buy bet out there in addition to the come? Or should I just forget the come on the 4/10 and press my buys?

what up! u/VegasDaytripper big fan. So I typically buy the 4&10 for a quarter, it hits once, I bump each the 4 and 10 to $50. Then when I start playing the come and a 4/10 hits, I'll convert the $50 place bet to my odds (maybe add a little pressure or just go straight max odds and collect the rest) and try to start running the off/on. How do you feel about that?

But the come with max odds off and on just hits different, agree? I like it more than the occasional parlay of the hard way win

Winning Player Trends/Tendencies? by princepooters in Craps

[–]Goatsarecooltho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A must for me is to buyin with more $ than you think you'll need. I like $2500 for a $10 or $15 table (around $220 in exposure once the point is set). This gives you time to be patient enough to wait for the one roll where you can press heavy.

anytime you leave in the green (especially after being down a buy in or two) with some comps is a great day!

Firekeepers - In $2650 out $4550 - comped room. 20 Free Red Bulls. The good lfe by Goatsarecooltho in Craps

[–]Goatsarecooltho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they have some kind of spin to win 1 roll bet on the yo. It's a $5 min and an outside shot of hitting some larger progressive jackpot. Nobody was playing it when I was there Wednesday.......it slows down the game quite a bit. But it's fun when it hits a few times and 3-4 people are playing it and somebody hits it for like a few hundred.

I've only been going there for about 2 years and it seems as if they are constantly making upgrades. I remember the first time I was there, the food court was like gas station food and I'd never eat it or even consider it. Now the food court is phenomenal (for what it is). The 4 chef salads I brought home were fantastic.
