So I had to drive out to Bloomsburg PA this morning for work. I had a 9:00 meeting. I knew it was about a 3 hour drive. So I left my house at 4:30am because I hate the chance of hitting traffic and possibly being late. At 35 minutes away and at 7:00, I come to the exit for a CT based casino that has a smaller branch in the Pocono's. Never been there before. So I go in and head straight to the only craps table open. Immediately take up SL1. Right off the bat I realize that it is 3x 4x 5x which I don't like, vig on 4 and 10 before and after wins, even worse, and a 16 foot boat. Oh well, I am there for only an hour. I wait to get the dice which is pretty quick since there is only 3 of us at the table. The table was incredibly soft and I had a tough time keeping the dice on the table. First roll was 12. I tried to adjust with a little more backspin and my second roll was a 17. Much better. But then on my third roll, i remembered what Billy and Daryl taught me regarding these types of table conditions. So I kept my trajectory much lower and put much more of a backspin on the dice and came back with a whopping 39. I usually don't count but being that the table was so empty and the bounciness, I wanted to keep track of my rolls. I colored up and walked out of there with a 4x my buy in. So thank you Billy and Daryl for the help in the advanced class. Last time I visit that casino.

Michael,
Having played on those tables I know exactly what you are saying here. It does take an adjustment to your throw to have an advantage with that condition.
Sounds like you handled it extremely well. well done

Great job, MIke.

Michael,
It's great to hear about your success. I love it when casino's lose money and I'm even happier when one of "our guys" makes it happen.
