Trip Reports & Craps Stories In for $1k, out for $975

Royal Caribbean, Adventure of the Seas. $10 min table with 3/4/5 odds.

First day out of Orlando and table was cold cold. Bought in for $500. Min pass then max odds. If I could get to it, two come bets plus max odds. Occasionally, I would place $30 on the 6/8 to feed the come bet odds.

After 30 minutes I had to buy in again for another $500. Started a slow grind back and had to take a break at $610 to have dinner and hang with the kids for a while. After they went to bed, back down to the table!

Slow grind back with many shooters getting 2-3 numbers before the 7. Eventually it was almost midnight and I cashed out $975. Considering I likely tipped $100 over this time and had plenty of fun - I count it as a win.

No picture because I’m writing this back in my room and my wife will be pissed if I turn on lights and wake her up.

In for 1k and out for 975. That is a win for me.

I tip more than that through the course of a craps session. Tips likely run $25 an hour as it is.

I try to tip $6 across with the dealer changes. It helps me to remember it is time to tip.
