Just for giggles

Please let's not get into a debate.

I'm asking that the next few times you go to a craps table take note of the number of stick changes and the number of times there's a 7 out with the new stickperson.

No need to debate it.

Just interested in the numbers.

Just for giggles.

This guy next to me at the Bubble craps machine would lay the 10 for $99 & $1 PL, win, then bet $146 on the lay 10, win, then bet $215 on the lay 10, then cash out at <$320 and walk over to the cashier. He'd be gone for a few minutes, so while it's my turn I can unwrap myself from making Lay bets myself and get on with hitting the PL if possible. I'm about to become a Hot Shooter when he returns, and I threw a 10 a minute before he arrived. As he was putting his money in, I sevened-out. This guy was making what must be at least his 10th trip to the cashier. I'm wondering if they are gonna fill out a CTR on him for bringing up $320 vouchers 30+ times to the cashiers cage. He had a thick wad of $100 bills he was thumbing through to find one to put into the machine.

He said the Seneca Niagara Casino had Shoot To Win where everybody takes a turn to shoot the dice but it was taken out and now they have the other Bubble Craps where each player has their own dice.

When I first sat down to the machine, I lost to point 7-outs about 7 times in a row while not knowing the rest of the machine players were betting dark.

Do you mean on the first roll after there’s a new stick person? Or do you mean the outcome of the current or next point after a stick change.

How about the first roll with the new stick person?

Was it a seven out or not?

I have to admit I came close to making comments of a predictable nature anyway. I resisted. But the truth is I oddly enjoy entertaining certain superstitions while gambling that I don't anymore believe than I believe the Earth is flat. On the other hand, there are other ones that I also don't believe but that I religiously observe as if true. For example I never switch sides, going from Rightside to Darkside, or vice versa, in the same session. And it has nothing to do with entertaining myself on that one.

this one isn't much fun for me or real to me and I shake it off easily. Which is not to say I don't notice it sometimes!

Yeah, I don't like this change, it would allow the designer to determine what bets you make and fiddle with you without worrying the beneficial effect on somebody else going Darkside or whatever, the dice results being un-shared. I don't believe for a second that they would dare actually gaff it all like that! But I can tell you it was all I could think about when I played recently at one, leaving after a few bets.

I can see you get these thoughts too but you never admit it's ridiculous to worry about. I admit these concerns are actually pretty far out there.

Played this AM. 5 stick changes. 2, 4, 9, 7, 8. The 7 was a comeout winner, not a 7 out. The 9 was a pass line winner.

If the first roll is a seven it is a winner, not a seven out.

That's correct. There are winner 7s and 7-outs.

Did you intentionally misread Alan’s post? The first roll of the dice with a new stick person does not have to be a come out.

No, I did not misread it, I based my response on what I have observed at the craps tables previously.

I do not recall ever seeing a stick change mid-roll; I've always seen them wait for the point to be resolved before doing a stick change.

You don't recall seeing a stick change mid roll?????????

No, I do not recall seeing it.

Probably something I just didn't pay much attention to.

Now I'm curious. Is there any area of the country where the stick change is purposely held for come out rolls?

If so, that must play havoc on dealers' work and break schedules.

I know that dealers get angry when they have to work even one minute longer than they're scheduled.

Alan, I'll admit I was probably incorrect as I haven't been playing much craps since covid hit and I guess my memory is imperfect.

Your comment about shift change makes sense and I don't dispute it any longer.
