Musical Dice -- My Craps Blog

     I went out to Lake Charles again. Decided to continue my new Yo-Yo dice set. But for the first two sessions, I was playing scared craps, reluctant to put much money out there. In both sessions, I fell behind at first, but got the money back on someone else's shoot. In the first session, my wife had the better shoot. I won $126 there. In the second session, I won $90, $75 of which was actually at the blackjack table. Both sessions were at L'Auberge.

     When I was finally able to get on to the craps table at the Golden Nugget (I tried earlier, but failed, which was why I had back-to-back sessions at L'Auberge), I decided not to play scared craps, and to try a 220 inside regression strategy, keeping the big bets out there for two hits, and regressing down to three units on the Place bets, and 2x for odds. I played my Yo-Yo dice set from the end, and despite it being nerve-racking, having all that money out there for the first two hits on the inside numbers, I made it through, regresses down to 81 across (the point was 10), and put $30 for odds ($15 table). Including a $5 crap-check I used to hedge my Pass Line bet on the come-out, once I regressed down, I was already up $9. I ended up shooting a total of 27 times, my best shoot from the end, and I ended up $433 ahead when I crapped out and colored up. For good measure, I won another $100 at the blackjack table for a session win of $533, and a total win of $749 for the trip.
