I was in Vegas for the Great Gift Wrap Up and played at Caesars. That's where I saw one of the biggest blunders at the craps table.
A young lady got the dice and had a great roll. Yes, she was a random roller. She picked 'em up and threw them. She got number after number, made several passes, and hit the ALL bonus bet. I was the only player making the Bonus bets and I always make a $5 bet on the small, tall, all for every shooter. I profited about $1500 on her roll with most of it coming from the Small, Tall, All payoffs ($175, $175, $880.)
But the shooter? Well, let's just say this attractive young lady and her two girlfriends at the table loved to play the field and the high and low. The shooter had about $400 when she came to the table. She left the table after the monster roll with about $35 -- total. Not only did she bet $10 on the field on every throw, but sometimes she was betting as much as $25 on the high and low. She did hit aces and midnight -- but just once and she did it with only $5 on the high/low bet. After that first hit she bumped up her bets sometimes as high as $25 and the high/low never hit again.
I was standing next to her at the table and at one point when she expressed disgust that she was losing so much money on the high/low I looked at her and said "stop." But she didn't.
We all applauded her when she finally threw that seven-out, and players thanked her for the great roll, but I could see the pain in her face.
What a blunder.
