What’s the record number of points made for all you craps shooters out there?  I ask because this week I had my best shoot ever, I was told eight points made before I sevened out.  I made most of the points quickly, not a lot of other numbers in between.  FYI, I’m strictly a pass line/come better with odds.  Also, how much did you win on your record shoot?

Once I had 12 numbers made on the passline, start with 100, and cashed out 3300.

Crap god.

I dont know how many points, but a lady down in AC rolled for 4 hours and 18 minutes, the longest roll on record. They have the crap table at the Borgata with it written on the felt. My personal record was about an hour. 16 points made and 4 comeout rolls made. I think I only had one craps roll on a comeout.

It was reported that the lady at the Borgata had 154 rolls of the dice.  And it was only the second time she had ever played craps…I don’t think it was reported how much she won, but as a new player she probably wasn’t able to maximize her winnings, unless she had good coaching from other players.

Sometimes I think craps is a game for manic-depressives.  Sometimes you can’t make anything happen at the table, and quickly lose your stake.  Other times you get on a ride that just keeps going, and you feel that adrenaline surge.  I guess every player has experienced this.  It’s part of why I love the game, it can turn around so quickly.  Just when you think you’re never going to hit a streak again, and you wonder how you ever did, there it comes.  The night I got lucky, with eight points made, had been a bummer up until then.  I couldn’t make anything happen. After my shoot, the stickman asked everyone to give me round of applause because it had been the best shoot of the day.  Lots of players left after that, I guess not wanting to press their luck, but some stayed (including me) to see how I’d do next time.  I sevened-out after only a few rolls.

Intellectually I understand the law of independent trials that governs craps, but emotionally, like most players I can’t help but believe in “streaks.”  It’s what keeps us playing this crazy, roller-coaster game, even though we realize that no matter what we do, the house will always have the edge.

One other thing: one guy at the table early in my shoot had money in his hands to cash in for chips, but for some reason he didn’t.  He just kept watching me roll.  I was wondering, why doesn’t this guy take advantage of this?  I figured he thought that as soon as he placed a bet, I’d seven out.  Finally, as I kept going, he placed a couple of bets late in my roll.  But by waiting he missed most of the action and the profits he could have made.  He hung around for my second shoot, which didn’t work out.  Just goes to show how you’ve got to jump on a streak when you see it, even if you know that “streak” can end with the next roll.  Truth is, I was surprised by my shoot also, because I had been having a lousy day, and didn’t take full advantage of it.  Next time I won’t make the same mistake.

I was talking to someone that said they were at the table when Pat DeMauro was rolling.
He said the house should have lost millions and instead it lost less than 200,000. She made 25 passes in those 154 rolls.
Roughly 36 rolls per hour; Little over 90 seconds per toss.

You don’t make money on the point….you make it on the numbers.
