About a year or so ago, I was told about a monster roll at a table at Caesars. It was a hot Saturday afternoon when the casino was "empty" and the pools were jammed, and two young guys were at a table by themselves. They were in town for some type of electronics show. Neither of them was a "craps player." One of them supposedly held the dice for close to -- ready for this? -- FOUR hours. Yet, they were only making passline bets and in the end only left with a couple of thousand dollars -- if that! Now, I don't know if the floorman who told me that was pulling my leg or not -- and no one else ever mentioned it.

But, I was at a table where one guy held the dice for about an hour -- but the players could not make up their minds about their bets. So in the course of any hour, this shooter only got off about thirty rolls. There were literally arguments at the table about changing bets and players changing their bets three or four times between rolls. It was an extended Persian family in town for a wedding. Another group who didn't know how to play craps.
