Interesting night in Tunica

CIIII I met a guy who was in the Chicago class. I was playing at Harrahs, needed to get one point every six months to keep my comps balance.

Off the tables open SL1was taken at all of the tables, but SR1 was open at one and there were only 4 people on the SL side.
My first roll was a roll of ten and I made a little money.

Sometime while the people on SL didn't get pass the five count, SL1 must have opened up but I didn't notice so I was still on the right side. I had a roll of 31, including 13 6 or 8s. The new guy who had moved to SL1 congradulated me on the roll. I noticed he was setting the dice and I put a come bet on roll five as he severed out. After three more shooter two of who passed the five count, I got the dice back and had a roll of 13 but had a lot of junk and lost a little. The guy at SL1 didn't pass the 5 count and I colored up.

As I was walking to the cage I asked him if he was part of a crap group on the Internet and he said no and asked me if I was. I said yes and he came up with my name and told me had taken the class in Chicago.

he was part of a Harrah's junket that had flown in from Akron. told me the other crap players we was with we're CFers. He indicated he was a lurker on the board so I won't use any names. I gave him my phone number and said to call me if we could get together.

He called and I joined 7 others at a crap table. At least one of the guys knew me from when I use to live down here. They asked me where I wanted to shoot from and I chose SL1.

They passed the dice to me to start and I had natural and then a point seven. Don't think it was pressure but just a normal roll. Dice looked good but ended up with a point of six and then a 4-3 for the seven. I set for the seven on the come out.

Next two shooters had rolls of10 and with no points made. They were followed by a shooter who had a yo, seven and then two roll of snake eyes and passed the dice. Next shooter had a roll of17 starting with two sevens and a twelve and then came out and made the 8 twice.

Next shooter made the six twice and had two come out naturals and two comecraps as part of a roll of 17. I understand the previous night he had had a roll of 51 and got everyone to the plus side with that roll.

If I understood correctly, at one time he had a hop bet of $100 for everyone at the table as well as for the dealers. The hop didn't win.

The next shooter started out with a point of8 which he made and then followe up with come out and making the 4, 9, and six which made the fire bet a winner. Most of the people had fire bets and the fire bets total $23 with three people having the max of $5.

The next come out was the five and at least two of the $5 fire bettors laid some out against the 5. Four rolls later the 5 was made. The two come outs were the six and we were in a holding pattern. Third come out was the hard 10. Next roll was a5-4 with the five showing first. I know one of the $5 betters also laid the 10. the heavy better had a $1,000 hard ten and he had a $100 hopping hard ten for the shooter.

Next roll was the hard $10, and the table was very happy. There was no dealer bet on the fire though.

the roll continued with a point of six that was rolled right back followed by a pont of 8 with an immediate seven out.

I didn't time it,but it seemed like at least a nalf hour together the paperwork and verification for the fire bet payoff.

next shooter had a roll of 4 rolls. Ifollowed with a come out on the six and rolled two 8s before the seven out onthefifth roll. I called it quits since we had been at the table over two hours.

An aside, someone told me that the dealer at HOrsshoe told him that someone recently had won $100,000 and stayed at the table and gave it all back.
