More Justification BS For Getting Casino Credit

[Count Room]

It angers me when I see players take their bets down early into what turns out to be a good roll because they are so used to losing that they cash a few bets and lock it up, only to lose it right back on the next shooter who sucks. Or even worse, come down off a number and then after it hits a few more times come back in on that number.

If I hit a number once or twice, I now am not at risk and I will power press every other (at least). You can't get to a high amount on a number if you don't press. That time I had 18 8's I was laughing because most of the other players were still at $12--never pressed at all. I understand some people are just there to kill time and trying not to lose too much. But I would rather play to win--and if I lose there are other things to do.

Regnis: I have to agree with this based on my own limited craps experiences. Most of my craps playing was when I was young for smaller stakes. I am still ahead a few thousand for craps even though I haven't shot dice for decades.

My biggest runup was turning a throwaway $40 into $1,800 or so doing exactly what you suggested: Pressing the numbers hard while the roll was proceeding well.

You really have to approach it like Archie Karas if you want a big score, but set a strict budget that you will never exceed if things don't pan out during any session.

EDIT: I think Archie's downfall was being willing to go on long losing streaks without any budget or constraints. Just the psychological shakeup of losing $10 million+ in one day would stop any feel-good winning streak in its tracks beyond the provisional dollar values involved.
