By Yuri 1998 This book has been on my todo reading list for a long time. I usually only buy books if they are digital so I can carry them with me and I can re-read them on my phone anytime / anywhere. Unfortunately this one is print only so had to wait for it to get shipped to me in Australia from Amazon USA. It’s 160 pages which to my surprise had a lot of supporting math around the fundamentals of dice influence. The sort of math that makes your head spin and eyes glaze over. Unless...

Casino : Treasury Brisbane $400 buy in 12ft table SL1 8 players 3V set Well I was shocked to walk in on Friday and not only was the craps table open. But it had 4 staff on it. And both side were open. In over 1 1/2 years I’ve not seen it open on both sides. It was a real nice feeling to be playing on a full table. Lots of chances for my dark side play. Some guy was in SL1 just watching. So I immediately moved to that spot and asked him politely to move. The other side was packed...

Something different this week. Took the family for some time away and travelled through the week to Cairns in far North Queensland at the top of Australia to see the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree rainforest. Such a beautiful place. 2 hour plane flight from home. But never got around to it. Costs a fortune of course. Upsets me that I can go to New Zealand much cheaper than see my own country. One of my bucket list items was to snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef. So just had to do it....

Casino: Treasury Brisbane $400 buy in 1/2 table right side SR1 2 players 3V set Showed up at the casino last week and the table was closed. I thought this is it. They’ve finally pulled the plug and killed the game. Went and asked the pit boss looking after baccarat and he tells me the staff are at a union meeting over a pay dispute. I don’t have time to stick around so went and war gamed baccarat for 30 mins. Alas I lost all my fake money on a massive player shoe when I was...

Casino : Treasury Brisbane $400 buy in 1/2 table left side SL1 2 players 3V set and 2V set Just one other at the table today. I like having just one other at the table. Let’s me have small rest in between hands and takes the focus off me from the dealers and box for few mins. Threw 4 hands – 48 times in total with 9 sevens 5 of those on the come out. 5.33 SRR No rolls less than 8 count. And was able to earn a bit off all of them. Still awful as far as I’m concerned, and the...

Casino : Treasury Brisbane $400 buy in 1/2 table right side SO and SR2 2 players 3V set and 2V set Just one other at the table today. I started slow to warm up but in the end it didn’t help. Shot myself in the foot repeated times with working on the come out going down on the seven. Big issue of the day was the increase in sevens. Out of 60 rolls I threw 14 sevens with 7 of those on the come out. That’s a terrible SRR (4.3) and I may as well have been chicken feeding them. Doing...

Casino: Treasury Brisbane $400 buy in 1/2 table left side SL1 (my favourite) 1 player (me) 3V set and 2V set Couldn’t get out last week. Work was to much and couldn’t even spare 1 hour again. Was very grateful that when I arrived there was no one at the table. Perfect. I started slow to warm up. Started with a 3 x DP progression $10 $20 $30 and $44 inside working 2 hits and down to $6 six and eight and press up and out from there. Took an initial beating down $150, zagged when I...

Casino : Treasury Brisbane $400 buy in 1/2 table right side SR6 (my nemesis) 5 players (4 regulars and me) 3V set Couldn’t get out last week. Work was to much and couldn’t even spare 1 hour again. I was shocked to arrive and find 6 players half table full. I refuse to squeeze in as I myself like room. I waited and watched for 1 hour. Mistake #1. Finally got a spot , stuck in the hook near the dealer. My nemesis spot. Mistake #2. But my time was up already and had to get back to...

Casino: Treasury Brisbane $400 buy in 1/2 table left side SL2 and SL1 5 players (4 regulars and me) 3V set Couldn’t get out last week. Work was to much and couldn’t even spare 1 hour. Was really looking forward to today. I was over my nerves mostly from last week. Started at the table with just one regular today. He’d had a bad run and basically passed the dice straight to me. Got to shoot 7 times today. Which was nice. 13 and 14 were my longest throws. But I made money on each...

Casino : Treasury Brisbane $400 buy in 1/2 table right side SR1 5 players (4 regulars and me) 3V set It’s been ages (4 weeks) since I’ve last slung the dice at casino. I was pleasantly surprised my casino still had their craps table. They are still threatening to close it. Between tropical cyclones and then floods and then public holidays and then family commitments. I felt like a newbie again sidling up to the table. To the point were my nerves had come back. Hands shaking level...

Casino: Treasury $300 buy in 1/2 table left side SO 4 players (3 regulars and me) 3V set Stuck with my $66 inside working on the come out with my DP negative and positive progression on my own roles. With the DP 3 play and $22 inside working on comeout for other shooters. Shot myself in the foot with CO 7 twice on two separate hands. I did have a 32 hand (my best to date is 34) which was good. But had sevens in the middle with the WOTCO knocked off my accumulated bets each time....

Casino : Treasury Brisbane $300 buy in 1/2 table right side SR6 (hook near dealer) 4 players (one newbie, 2 regulars and me) 3V set My least favourite position. Still haven’t worked this one out. However today it didn’t matter. Only had 45 mins. Got the dice twice. $66 inside working on the come out. Both roles shot myself in the foot with seven on first roll. 7, 9, 3, 6, 10, 12, 3, 9 5, 9, 7 7, 6, 8, 10, 7 Terrible but no other spot opened up for me. Good news though is I...

Casino : Treasury Brisbane $350 buy in 1/2 table left side SL 1 2 players (one newbie and me) 3V set (exclusively) Had a plan today. And really wanted to stick to it. Bet don’t pass exclusively with my progression and play $66 inside regardless of point working on the come out for 2 hits and regress to $22 inside and press up from there 1 unit twice and then 2 units to 5. Take and press from there. Why did I set such a plan? I looked at my rolls over previous weeks and after last...

Casino : Treasury Brisbane $300 buy in Half table – Left side SL-1 1 player (me) 3V equivalent set, and all sevens set while aiming for the 7. Another session second week in a row where I was all alone. The dealers were just standing around doing nothing when I showed up. I had in my head that I was going to concentrate on playing a totally Don’t game if it was just me at the table. Set a point and then push the seven. Alas what I thought was a perfect plan didn’t turn out that...

Casino: Treasury Brisbane $400 buy in Half table – Right side SR-1 1 player (me) 3V equivalent set This was another session that I wasn’t expecting. I’d been waiting for many weeks to get the table all to myself. The first time this happened I was totally unprepared, and so nervous I was shaking. Now was a different story. Just small nerves, which was good. I was ready. I don’t know what the normal amount of rolls are per hour, but I’m thinking it’s around 60. By myself I...

Casino: Treasury Brisbane $300 buy in Half table – Right side SR-1 2 – 4 players 3V equivalent set From the outset this was a session like no other I’ve had to date. I walked into the Casino following my nose to the craps table on the second floor, turned the final corner and my heart sank. The craps table was gone and 2 Caribbean Stud tables were in it’s place. I thought WTF is going on here. Looked around couldn’t see any sight of it. Asked a dealer on a roulette table with no...

Casino : Treasury Brisbane $300 buy in Half table – Right side SR-3 4 players – all seasoned 3V equivalent set Same guys as last week. Took a small notepad with me today for first time to chart my performance. Once again no one said anything from players or staff. I just leave the notepad in full view on the chip rail. Haven’t played in SR-3 before, and I don’t like it much. I don’t like having 2 players + stick in front of my trajectory. I found it much harder to focus on my...

Casino : Treasury Brisbane $300 buy in Half table SO-L 5 players all seasoned (I now consider myself in this category) 3V equivalent set 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. What was most different about this session is that I tracked my roles on paper not just...

Casino : Treasury Brisbane $100 buy in Mini baccarat Found a computer terminal with a live dealer in front so I could watch them deal and reset the shoes. They deal 2 different games back to back. Must be boring for them with no interaction with the players. First time playing baccarat, and it was very confusing as the dealer was not standing on hands that I thought he should stand on. And there was one hand I was sure player had won but he gave it banker and I lost my bet. I felt...

Casino : Treasury Brisbane $300 buy in Half table SL1 1 to 2 other shooters Got to the table just as they were opening. I have never seen this happen before. Lots of rituals and processes they have to go through. And paperwork! The pit boss brings out the keys to unlock the chips and a secure ziplock bag for the dice. Nice new purple ones today. Quizzed him on why they can’t the give / sell me some of the old dice even after they have drilled a hole in them. He said they had to stop...

Casino : Treasury Brisbane $300 buy in Half table SL1 Just 2 other players Didn’t bother reading the table today. Basically jumped straight in with $10 PL only to test and watch at the same time until my turn. Toying with a line bet trend / anti trend method to use when I don’t have the dice. One guy burned through his money and left which is ashame as I wanted to test this system out. Anyway the remaining other player was the mad Russian I’ve spoken about previously. He loves a $5...

Happy new year everyone. I’ve had a couple of weeks break from casino visits during the holidays. But lots of practice in the mean time. Casino : Treasury $400 buy in Half table SO left side This is the first time I had to wait to get on a table. I waited 30 mins of my very small 1.5 hr time slot on Friday afternoon before needing to go back to work. I was thinking no one was going to leave but a couple of sucker hands cleaned out 2 spots. I didn’t mind getting straight out. As I’ve...

Casino : Treasury $300 buy in SL1 Half table 2 players to start and went to 6 3 new players at the table really slowed things down. Bad bets, late bets and hands all over place interrupting the shooting. Glad I was at SL1 Thinking back I was never like that. I only played dark side no odds, which made it easy for me to not get into trouble. Had 3 ok rolls today. 2 regulars had good hands. The newbies were apart from getting in the way, farming the field and were enjoying the wins...

Casino : Treasury Brisbane $200 buyin SO left side Half table Just 2 players. Myself and an older Asian guy with his wife at SL2 Been practicing at SO so wanted to see how I’d do. It was a fast game with just 2 players especially because we were not doing prop bets. First 2 hands of mine were ok 8-10 rolls each, started with $10 PL and $22 inside. Made some money before 7 pressing one unit at a time. Trouble was the dice kept jumping off the table. And I mean repeated no rolls. Even...

Casino : Treasury $150 buyin Low buyin kids ransacked my wallet in the morning without telling me. I have my meger bank roll stashed away in cash at home which I draw from for my sessions. Mrs CJ has a strict no bank withdrawals allowed from our normal everyday bank accounts for my craps hobby. Fair enough. Had to be ultra careful Got SL2 with 4 players on half table Started out slow with $10DP and $6 six and eight. One hit can’t miss play. Did ok Treaded water quite well on the other...
