Just throw a couple of bucks down for them on the 6 & 8 and they'll be more than happy.
Love the ongoing TR. Keep crushing it!
Yes, I have no doubt that the way I bet is nothing for a competent crew. At some point, anything is just a job, and with enough experience things that seem difficult to an outsider are obv LOL easy which is what you want. I've said that to people about anesthesia many times- not to trivialize my job but at some point you get good enough at what you're doing that it's routine. That's exactly what people SHOULD want- for it to be just another day at the office. Honestly I feel like most of the time I could do it with my eyes closed, which is less of a personal brag than just a testament to experience.
When I bet for the crew (which I always do at least once a session), I place a unit inside, my control, and go up by a unit each hit. I've dropped 100$s for the crew many times that way, it keeps the dealer bets going and they seem to love it.
Lastly, I'll throw out my "long roll" stories. I may have actually told them earlier in this thread. The first is simply my first roll- of course. Had no idea what I was doing, was literally playing as instructed by friends. I think I may have placed a line bet, one or two come bets, doubt I put any odds down. I rolled 45 min and won a few hundred bucks, I remember the table was going nuts. In retrospect I probably used up my "one time" the first time- you give me 45 min now and I'm winning mid 5 figures minimum.
Second one was at the Stratosphere, where I used to play crapless craps/10x odds religiously. Rolled in early AM and the pit boss immediately told me "you just missed Francisco (known hi roller), he had an hour roll all to himself and won over 100k". Turns out this guy was supposed to be leaving LV but his flight got cancelled so he turned right around and headed to the Strat. Played by himself, killed it. I have no idea how he won so little (playing by himself and no one else to slow the table down) but maybe he started off gun shy.
Anyways, I'm sure if I'm there, butterfly effect, the dice don't turn out the same, yadadada, but I sure wish I'd gotten there an hour earlier. An hour at the crapless craps table I'm sure I win 6 figs as well; the pit boss told me they lost 4 million the last time they had an hour roll at the table. Instead I played by myself of course got killed. F this game.
