Just last night I mentioned how I was closing in on making a 10 and when I picked up the dice, I said "this one's for Zenyatta!" as I threw them. I made it with that roll.

I will now dedicate all the rolls from my next hand of Craps to Zenyatta's baby colt.

Hard 10? Should have played a "2 way 10 on the hop!"

I think it was a 6-4.

I'm too cheap to ever make a bet on any hardway.

$5 on the pass and $50 in the back at no house edge...takeout ends up being like 0.20% or so.

If you play for about 30 minutes you get enough comps for free drinks and baskets of clam strips.

I used to play at the Horseshoe casino in Vegas - now renamed to just "Binions". Under the old management, the limit was 100x odds. And at some tables, the minimum line bet was 50 cents.

You could play 50 cents on the line and 50 dollars in back.

Benny Binion, the original founder is quoted as having said "If everyone bet at full odds, we couldn't keep the lights on in this place."

Aside from comps, it's easy to get your money's worth in ice cold beer at a 50 cent minimum table. Good times. That Vegas of the past is long gone though.

I would like those numbers. I never drink when I play though, craps is like a job for me at this point. Best I have found is 8,9,10x odds anywhere lately.
