Regnis and Allan great to meet you. Craps players love to talk craps! Wish I was on that table when you rolled 18 8's. My 6 & 8 Power Press taught to me by a Cuban Bally's dealer named Julio (he looks and sounds just like Pacino in Scarface) would have made a small fortune:

$30 1st hit, Power Press $1 and go to $66
$66 2nd hit, Power Press $7 and go to $150
$150 3rd hit, press to $300, $25 goes to hard 6, parlay if it hits
$300 4th hit, same bet, $25 to goes to hard 8, parlay if it hits
$300 5th hit, Power Press $10 and go to $660
$660 6th hit, depending how you feeling, same bet or Power Press $70 and go to $1500
$1500 7th hit, same bet
$1500 8th hit, press to $3000

That's the farthest I've ever been but my goal (dream) is to reach the Table Limit and ask the Floor Manager permission to raise the limit. 18 8s must have been a surreal, dreamlike roll. One of those sessions where the dice just does not seven. I simply Love Craps! Love the Fire Bet!
