    Loved your report. We always stay at the FREEEMONT and my best rolls are always there. I agree with the amateur dealers though. They constantly slow the play down and piss people off.

    Thanks for posting and congrats on a winning trip!

    I had no idea working your come bet odds on the come out was even an option. I know it didn't work for you this trip, but I might have to try it sometime.

    Great report.
    A bit sad to read about GN but happy to read you left a winner.
    Its a good thing to leave with money left over and just awesome to leave ahead.

    I am not terribly aggressive and wasn't anxious to end the streak, so, yes, I flat bet the entire run.

    I am not a big fan of 9/6 Jacks and only played the Boar's head for one short session.

    According to the Wizard of Odds, there is a small percentage advantage to working your odds. I couldn't explain the math if my life counted on it. I generally like working my odds with the outside numbers. When it's working, it is awesome! Love to see somebody get stuck on a 4 or 10. I once rolled a come out 4 followed by 5 more with odds working - that was fun.

    Really enjoyed the trip report. Like your style on how you do your trips and your story telling.

    I'm a craps nit but don't bother with working odds on the come out, it's not worth the hassle for the little extra EV. If so it's not much of a stretch to play the dark side.

    Also can't believe the dealer at the GN shorting players on the Barney bets. I wonder how prevalent this is. Than again can't trust a place owned by a bootlegger family from Galveston.

    Great report! Congrats on the royals! And you talked about playing ACE$ Bonus. How many times have you pulled the ACE$ off lifetime?

    Years ago, ACE$ was offered at the locals in nickels and quarters. I hit nickels 2 or 3 times and quarters once. The Fremont machines have been stingy with four aces in any order.
