Online Craps is my Achilles Heel

Online Craps is my Achilles Heel

I long for the glory days of my online craps mastery. I can close my eyes and recall how I rode a hot streak to the tune of €3,000, and I manage to block out the day after when I lost it all. Chalk that up to bad luck, it was my great skill and well timed bets that brought ...

Goodbye Craps

Goodbye Craps

At least for now. I don’t know what happened, all of the sudden I can’t win at craps anymore. I’m finding it tough to adjust to having a smaller balance to play with. A few weeks ago, if I bet 40-50 Euros on a hand, and lost it was no big deal, but now that I had to start over, ...

Online Blackjack

Online Blackjack

After taking a much needed break, I have recharged my batteries and I’m ready to resume gambling and blogging. I decided that I needed to stop playing dice for a while since the last time ended so poorly. I went back to my roots, the first casino game I ever played, Blackjack. My problem with blackjack is that there isn’t ...

What the Heck Just Happened

What the Heck Just Happened

I have no explanation; I can’t believe how quickly my luck turned from awesome to crap. I can’t believe that I didn’t just walk away from the table. I can’t believe that I blew over €4,000 at the craps over the course of two days. I can’t believe the dice betrayed me like that. The whole thing is kind of ...

Crazy Craps Weekend

Crazy Craps Weekend

It took me a while to get this post written, as I’ve started getting lazy in my old age. This past weekend, I played a crazy amount of craps, and I had a great run. I stuck with the strategy of high risk=high rewards, laying as much as €590.00 on the table at a time. I took a lot of ...

Aggressive Craps

Aggressive Craps

As I mentioned earlier in the week, I’ve taken a more aggressive stance at betting in raps, and so far it’s been up and down, but overall I’ve come out ahead. I try and have a €10 chip on either the Hard 6 or Hard 8, at some point I got tired of losing when rolling a 4,2, so I ...

How to lose over €1,000 the next day

How to lose over €1,000 the next day

I honestly have no idea how this happened. I’m staring at the keyboard in total shock and I can’t find the words to describe what happened, but I’ll give it a shot. As I mentioned in my previous post, I was up about €300.00 at the end of the week, sitting pretty with a grand total of over €1,100. On ...

How to make 500 Euros in a week playing low stakes craps

How to make 500 Euros in a week playing low stakes craps

I’m not selling you a fool proof system on beating the game; in fact I’m not selling anything, just telling you how I did it. I usually play during down time at work, or when I’m on a break, and I rarely sit for extended periods of time and play. It stands to reason that if someone played for longer ...

It feels good to win

It feels good to win

Over the past few weeks Charlie Sheen has taken over the word “Winning”. Everywhere I looked, all I would see on TV and read on blogs, twitter, news etc was Sheen saying Winning. It’s time to take back the word. I’ve had to sit with losing on my mind for the past few weeks, I had to tell myself that ...

Keep your emotions in check

Keep your emotions in check

In my opening post I was very clear that the “House always wins,” so what bothers me isn’t that I lost all my money, its how I lost it that kills me.  I was playing craps, and I felt like I graduated from the beginners level, so I tried betting on the Hardaway Bets. These are “extra” bets that you ...
