    Asking for SD help/info

    I have never played a game that pays 6-5 besides single deck, I honestly thought that 6-5 was the norm in SD. You can go back to my posts 2 yr ago when I joined this site, I started off playing DD exclusively and would never play an inferior game like 6-5 BJ. So I got lucky and beat a bad game...

    Asking for SD help/info

    I thought 6-5 was standard pay on BJ in SD, I understand that El Cortez pays 3-2 on their SD but I thought that they were about it. I also don't want to play there again, their suits don't like me. Anyway thanks, I must have experienced above avg EV, as always it's just too good to be true.

    Asking for SD help/info

    Hello all, been awhile since I posted, recently had a very good trip to Vegas playing SD in my spare time. I only played 2 shops on the strip and they were MGM/Mirage shops. I'm going to be heading back out to Vegas fairly soon and was hoping some of you could help me out. I really only want...

    What are the effects of a backoff on an MGM/Mirage Players' Club Account?

    Believe me there were nights I just got murdered at craps, why do you think the Mirage employee called me to ask when my next trip was? This is why I loved CC at 1st, I wasn't getting killed and in fact I won quite a bit out of the gate. I have always been good with math and memory and have...

    What are the effects of a backoff on an MGM/Mirage Players' Club Account?

    I was backed off at Mirage and had no trouble playing unrated at some of their other stores. I did cut back on session time a bit. I still have no trouble playing at MGM properties minus Mirage. They know me too well there, so I don't want to push it too far to ruin it for the other properties...

    Craps promotion question

    Yes, in 90% of the casinos on the strip you will find 3,4 and 5 times odds. As far as the best game, the Casino Royale ( between Harrah's & Venetian) used to offer 100x odds, I haven't played there in over 2 years, it's kinda dumpy. I've also found recently 100x odds at Horseshoe in Council...

    Craps/Mini bac

    You will never beat craps on betting strategies, you mention you like the don't pass and also that hardly any tables/shooters are ever hot. This may be true, but how many times do you lose on the come out roll with a 7? Believe me, it is IMPOSSIBLE to beat craps consitently by just playing on...

    45 min craps roll at local casino

    Thats disturbing to hear JJ. The thing that I find funny is the casinos and alot of the so called experts totally denounce dice control but they still didn't let you set the dice. I seen a guy in Caesars back in June just kill it setting the dice, every single toss the dice landed the same...

    craps record broken

    I was at Bellagio last November ( I believe) playing craps. The golden touch boys were in town doing a seminar. For those of you not familiar that is Schlobete, Dominator and crew. I ran into a control shooter at Mirage and he mentioned to me that at 10am the next day that Dominator would be...

    Online Poker

    Let me chime in on this a bit. I play some larger poker tournies ( 1-2k buy ins). There is time when you can just about get to be a coin flip favorite with AA preflop. It takes alot of people going all in with you, someone can run the numbers but if something like 5 other players are all in with...

    Question about poker stars on espn?

    Whoever said Phil Ivey is a somewhat responsible gambler you have bad info. Phil is a great guy, I've played poker vs. 70-80% of the guys you see on TV, he's one of the biggest gamblers you will ever find. One night at the Mirage Phil and Barry Greenstein were playing craps, Ivey had 5,000...

    'Dice Control' Denounced

    Now this is a very good post, of the handful of players that can have an influence on the dice there is 100 that can't that think they can. Let me give you an example of my perception on dice control: 1st off I consider myself to be superior in the mechanics of setting and throwing the dice. Do...
