Well, the DirectBets were modest amounts. I may have bet additional cheques!

In for $400, out for $900 in about 15 minutes. Tipped the dealer and now I'm +$500 at Revel. On to the next game.

Excellent session! Keep it up - any of the regulars around?

I haven't seen anyone around. Maybe it's because you are MIA, ace.

Yeah, I always assumed the world stopped when I wasn't on the scene...is it busy yet?

It's pretty dead so far.
I had a shoe from hell to start, -$600 right away, got all of it back. Average bet is $60.

Nice rally on the Spanish 21 table (was down $600, cashed out $300 ahead) and now we're +$1,205 for the trip.
Next game will be craps (never played it at Revel). Should I bet the dark side just for the lower house edge? Any dice setting tips?

Anyone like Maryland's chances against Duke tonight? This is a must win game for them to get into the Big Dance. Diehard Terps fans unite!
March 15th, 2013 at 12:28:46 PM

Since Maryland is joining the Big Ten next year, I will be with the Terps in spirit. That being said, Duke seems to always do well in the ACC Tourney, but it would be nice if somebody gave them a quick ride back to that high school gym they call an arena.

How did the foray into craps go?
March 15th, 2013 at 12:45:54 PM

The +11 spread is enough to entice me to make a small wager. MD has a ton to gain and Duke likely is a #1 seed regardless of the ACC tournament. Let's get it done, Maryland!

If you want to place a CBB wager, I like Kansas -6 over Iowa State and Ohio State -13.5 over Nebraska. I REALLY like Michigan State at -5.5 over Iowa

That Louisville pick is a good one too. ND played Marquette last night, and year in and year out, Marquette and Louisville are two teams that seem to wear teams out. Expect ND to run out of gas sometime about halfway through the 2nd half.

Surely disappointed no one just reached over and smashed the Styrofoam cup. You know, just to see what would happen.
I sure as hell would if I was there, guaranteed.

I'm not Asian enough for this game I guess. Getting bored. Almost dead even through 1 shoe (75 hands).
Maryland won me a couple bills, so that's nice.

I got so freaked by the blood red carpeting when I was there I didn't play at all. Must be something about AC because I also didn't play Bally's when I was there. Really awesome for you to be up $1,400 though.
