A great day for the sport.

I was annoyed, but laughing at her and just told her I'm glad I'm getting my share of my bad luck out of the way here tonight.

I'd won about eight or nine times in a row prior for sessions where I tried to make $100. The time eventually comes where you have to pay the piper and the edge in their favor plays itself out.

After getting beat for $1,100 you just have to give up on trying to force the winning session. The casino has more cash than you do.

You keep winning $100 everytime -- sometimes it's a battle, sometimes it's the quickest and easiest thing in the world -- and you're getting comps left and right. But all it takes is one crazy streak that you find the wrong side of ... and you get hurt.

It's a fun time up there at 2AM on a Monday.

You get 10X odds in the back -- so the takeout is much less than 0.5%.

I keep the wife by my side and she keeps every chip of a different color than I started with that comes my way. I have walked away a loser many times to learn I had $300 in her bag. My usual goal is to double the stake and leave.
You are getting 10x on all number or just 4 and 10? 10x on 5,6,8,9 seems like the casino would be putting the odds in your favor at least one or two players anyway.

Yes -- you can get 10X in the back on any number, including the 4 and 10, at fair odds.

In other words -- if you bet $5 on the pass and $50 in the back and the point is a 4. You'll make $5 up front (even money) and $100 in the back (2/1 odds)

If you bet $5 on the don't pass and the point is a 4. You can lay $100 to win $50 (1/2 odds) if they don't make the 4 and obviously you'll get even money on the front line bet.

When the table is cold I love to play the 4 and 10. With $5 don't pass and max odds and a small cover on the hard way means only on dice combo can beat me.

I need to go to PA. 10x on the easy numbers is lovely, best I ever got was 8x on 6,8 and 9x on 5,9.

Not to argue with you - but I doubt the number was 9x for the 5 and 9. That would lead to an odd number a fair amount of the time, which is an obvious problem for a 3-to-2 fair odds bet.
