Quote: iamnomadAbout two years ago at Hollywood Columbus, an older gentleman got on a roll. It was obvious he at least THOUGHT he knew what he was doing. Consistently rolled the dice up to within a few inches of the back wall without hitting it. Made several points, hit a lot of box numbers. Was it dice control? Who knows. But since he wasn't going 7 out, the box man starting warning him to throw the dice harder and hit the back wall, which he refused to do. As I remember he was warned on about 5 successive rolls, and he started talking back, "Take the dice from me and you'll be costing all these people at the table money," trying to get the crowd on his side. Finally the box man said he was giving him his last warning. At that point, in the middle of his roll with a point unresolved, he yelled at the box man, said "color me up, I'm leaving," and that was the end of that. I have not seen the guy since...
i think we all aspire to be this man, one day.
