TR SNIPPET CRAPS WITH SON KEITH


Saturday morning about eleven there was plenty of room at the $5 craps tables. Frank, Keith and I played craps. Peter watched. Dana and Cory visited with their Mom at the buffet. Cory talked the woman into letting Elizabeth sit with them although that is against the rules. He was funny telling the story and he convinced the woman to break the rule for his Mom. He assured her that Elizabeth would not touch one morsel of food.

It worked.

The buffet did not do continuous serving. They stopped serving food by ten thirty and everyone had to be out by eleven. We were fine with that.



There were no huge runs of luck one way or another. I did the slow hedge while Keith and Frank bet straight.

Keith won $18. I lost $18 Frank lost $30.



It was a good bit of fun. I rarely gamble $200 but that is what it took to stay in the game early on.

The dealers were too often confused and that annoys me when I am tired.



One tall Black guy was very agitated and tough to be with. He finally left, blaming us for our erratic betting.

Craps is a strange world. The mathematics are very simple, but folks create all sorts of supernatural scenarios to explain what is happening in a random exercize.

Dice setting, however, is reported to be a very real phenomena. I asked John Growchoski and he told some amazing stories of being with The Terminator and seeing dice setting in action.



Bernie and cousin Chris played 3 card poker but did not make money.



It was a great session because we had fun playing together. It is rare we get that experience as father and sons.
