My first dice

by CJ | Nov 23, 2015 | General

After stumbling onto dicesetter.com, or more to the point initially Pablos videos of Beau the Dice Coach on YouTube, I figured I needed a set of dice to practice with. Now I don’t have set of casino dice or a practice rig yet but I wasn’t going to let that stop me.

I found a pair of dice that the kids had left lying around and claimed them as my own, and started setting them and tossing them into my open laptop. Unconventional yes but I needed to do something. The dice would bounce all over the place, but I’m telling myself that I’m familiarising myself with the dice, and learning the different combinations of the dice faces.

My day job takes up about 80 hours per week of my time, so I’m very time restricted. And yes as you can tell I work in IT. Hence the website to document my journey.

I sold off some unused house items, an exercise bike and a ride on mower, so I now have $600 to use as my first learning money at the casino.

For those that have watched the movie Nemo, I will echo the words of Dory but with a craps twist.

Just keep rolling.

How to play Craps – Video

by CJ | Nov 22, 2015 | General

After my recent visit to Treasury Casino I thought it was high time that I actually learnt the rules and what the different areas of the Craps table were for. My friend Steve asked me what the Come and Don’t Come areas were, and what the Horn Bet was but I couldn’t tell him. Considering I had just introduced him to the game that I’ve been playing since 1992 I felt very embarrassed.

I reached straight out to youtube to find this 40 minute video which is very nicely produced and it explained all the rudimentary parts of the game. I look back on it now and kick myself for not learning about the game that I have played for so long and enjoyed, and now think of all the different plays I could have made.

My consolation. It’s never to late.
