Craps Journey | Dice Setting, Dice Control, Dice Influence & Betting Strategy show

Summary: Casino : Treasury Brisbane<br> $300 buy in<br> Half table<br> SO-L<br> 5 players all seasoned (I now consider myself in this category)<br> 3V equivalent set<br> Bought in and I wasn’t settled yet and dice came straight to me, I passed. Looks of surprise on the other players faces. I should have shot straight away, as I didn’t get the dice for another 20 minutes and once again I’m on the clock, playing in my lunch break.<br> What was most different about this session is that I tracked my roles on paper not just with a chip count! Up until today I felt self conscious and embarrassed about it, because I have not seen anyone one else doing it. Granted I haven’t played a lot of craps over the years, and since I became a student of the game, I have logged only 18.15 hours table time so far.<br> I thought I’d make it look like I’m part of the crowd and grab a Baccarat tracking chart and pencil and just use that rather than bring out a little notepad.<br> Now that I’m no longer a charting virgin, I don’t feel bad about it all, no one paid me any attention about it, either from the players or the crew. It only took less than a second to write down a number after a decision on the dice, so I’ll now be tracking my rolls each and every time. I’ll even get a little note book for next week session.<br> Basically it was another chop session, with little in the way of break away rolls from anyone. In fact I had my worst session yet in terms of shooting. See card picture.<br> <br> 3 rolls, 7 rolls (made 1 point), and then PSO. So embarrassed by it, but learned a lot again.<br> Straight out is hard for me, as I have a right shoulder problem at the best of times, and find it hard to get the dice down the end together. I also fell down some stairs a few days ago and my back is now shot.<br> No excuse I should have therefore bet accordingly and went dark side across the board.<br> I used SIA one hit can’t miss, $10 DP and $6 six and eight on all other shooters which kept me level and ahead a bit. Then tanked badly on my own rolls.<br> Hmmm lots of lessons for me there. Nothing wrong with using the same strategy on myself until I warm up.<br> I was about to change strategy to $44 inside 2 hits and down on all players to get my chips back, looked at the clock and was at my time limit. Oh well.<br> Have to recoup my losses next week.<br> For those that are following my journey, here’s a summary of my sessions to date…<br> <br> <br> <br> Buy In<br> Colour Out<br> Delta<br> Percent<br> <br> <br> $ 4,850.00<br> $ 4,573.00<br> -$ 277.00<br> -6%<br> <br> <br> <br> Coloured in $227 (-$73) in 1 hour and 30 minutes.<br> <a href="https://www.crapsjourney.com/028-session-report-20/#respond" title=""></a>
