$60,000 vs a $15 comp

I just played $10 of free play on 6/5 5-cents per coin Bonus poker. I cashed out $9.

I went to the craps pit to pick up a $15 food comp.

While I was there a player bought in for $60,000 betting $1,000 flat with $10,000 odds.

Before the boxman could write up my $15 comp he had busted out.

Red Rock.

I'm nauseous.

On the line? Or the don'ts?

1 number? Or Come bets too?

I enjoyed watching savvy, well-heeled craps players at Casino Royale take advantage of the 100X odds they offered.

Bet ten bucks on the line and put a grand behind it.

it was the Golden Era of craps and it was glorious.

Alan, I am not doubting your claim. Do you have THAT kind of money to lose? I know you once played those kind of limits but was under the impression you were more in retirement mode, more on a fixed income. If you don't have that kind of money to lose....what the hell were you thinking?

Hopefully, things turn around and wishing you a good 2022.

BTW, as you know just a couple years ago that kind of play would have at least gotten you that separate table game mailer with free bets and match plays for a number of months. With stations having done away with that and tightened up, you don't even get that benefit. :(

Oh, my bad. That is what I get for a quick read. My apologies to you Alan. Although I am somewhat relieved as well. :)

Kewlj never in my life did I play those kind of limits. My biggest buy in at a craps game was $2,000.

Frankly in all my time at Caesars and Bellagio I only saw maybe a dozen players who bought in for $60,000 or more.

Even when Rene Angilil was alive his usual buy in was $25k and I played with him often at both Caesars and then after Celine took action, I played with him at Bellagio.

I do recall one player at Caesars who had $2.5-million in markers. And at Red Rock there was once a player who had $20k as his buyin. But this $60k buyin lost so quickly takes the cake.

Now... you ask what was I thinking? I was thinking this player had the worst luck I ever saw. $1,000 bets with full odds and no house advantage on the odds and he never rolled one repeater.

BUT had he made place bets of $5,000 each (the max at Red Rock) he would have almost doubled his money.

And that's what made me so sick.

Years ago I met up with a friend at Casino Royale who was a don't player $10 on DP with max odds and in less than half an hour he lost about $25k.

A friend went to the Riviera when they offered 1000X odds. I suspect he lost $250K. He wouldn't talk about it afterwards.
