Greatest Craps Shooter Ever!
After having dinner with my wife....I had $100 on me, gave my wife $20 to play the slots, had $80 left...decided to play a few minutes of craps.....the only spot available was on a $15 Craps table. Stood next to this guy who leans over to me and says, "Get ready to make a lot of $$$$". He buys in for $1,000; Bets $200 Pass Line, $600 Odds, $200 Hardway on the Point. He makes 10 total points, 8 of them Hardways. Almost every number he threw was a Hardway, it was the most unbelievable Dice throwing I have ever seen in my entire life and everybody on the table all said he was the greatest shooter they had ever seen.
I turned $80 to $1,300 (Betting conservatively).
The shooter turned $1,000 to over $20,000...

Don't we all want to be that guy!? Sort of like Babe Ruth pointing to the section of the stands he is going to hit the home run to. Then doing it.
If so, what camp?
Or, just another random rolling SOB?
Just know that he was not overly impressed with his $19,000 profit.
The Craps players had perfect Craps etiquette, no late bets, not a single COME Bet in his Landing Zone. No Horn Bets during the "ON" cycle even when he threw 5 Horns in a row (I was amazed and impressed nobody bet on the Horn even though the Pit Boss was clamoring for people to bet the Horn). No one wanted to throw a chip in when he had the Dice to throw off his rhythm.
where should I head though?
Quote: CrapsForeverThe funny thing is he had the Pit Bosses sweating his very move because he wanted everyone to know he was going to hurt them in the pockets. I only wish I had my usual $500 bankroll on me; I would have been more aggressive and made a lot more money.
You owe us the Casino ID after this nugget my man... ;-)

Not sure if you noticed but in my recent posts, I stopped identifying the Casinos that I play at...for a good reason. Craps is amazing...If you keep an open mind and pay attention to what's going on at the tables....there's a lot of money to be made.
Sadly, this most recent trip was not at a Casino in the United States and the guy was playing while on vacation with his family. He only played Craps on one night. I ran into him later the next day and literally pleaded with him to come back to the tables but he never did. Everybody at the Craps tables spent the rest of the weekend talking about this shooter; we were very upset that he only played one night. I came back every day/night with a $1,000 bankroll with all my debit cards on standby....praying he would show up....I was ready to bet minimum $100 on every Hardway but he never showed up to the tables again.
The Pit Boss had treatened to ban him for being "too lucky" the night before so I don't know if that's why he didn't come back to the Craps tables....nobody knows what happened to him.

Okay, I will guess Cruise ship with a shorter table! Very cool in any event. Love the fact the bosses knew what they had on their hands.
In any event... I fully concur with your sentiments. To wit, keeping an Open Mind and, of course, Paying Attention. Kudos.
As I have been taught too many times..play on cruiseships/casino boats simply for fun. Most "lucky" players don't want to be in a situation where they can't disappear in a New York minute.
I rolled a real dukeroo...5 point fire bet, hitting one point (the five) twice...(6 passes total) and I threw plenty of hardways too...
I had absolutely ZERO heat either...amazing that SL is SO friendly (don't sweat the money at all!)
