what a streak!

I live in the west suburbs of Chicago. Today, the people on my block planned a party. This is the third annual block party which I attended every year. No more I said to myself! To me, sitting in a chair in a hot and humid day sucks so I told the organizer I would be gone for the day. I got up early and to a 175 mile to Dubuque,ia.I like Dubuque,having 2 casinos, 1 with a dog track and simucasting. I bet on several races winning some, losing more.I decided to try my luck at craps [my favorite]. Down a little, an older gent was making a little roll.I thought it would be a good time for a $5 horn bet and a $5 E/T [11,12]. The shooter promply threw a 12. I pressed a little and the shooter tosses a 2. Alittle press,12. press,12! press,12!What's going on!! Throw the dice, 12! All I can say is that the shooter threw 5 midnights [12] in a roll. In 8 rolls he threw 6 twelves, a 2, and endedwith a 3. Starting with 2 $5 bets, I won $2000. It was a happy ride home.
Congratulations, must be nice to win on a terrible wager, enjoy your fortune!
Congrats sometimes those hunches just pay off. Best of all no taxes.

Do you kick kittens?

To the OP, big congrats.

Some times it's better to be lucky than good......and more fun!
I agree Treegirl, seems like a back handed compliment. Thanks for sharing your win with us bwana300.

Yep. When I play craps I bet horn and hardways. I also play the pass line/odds etc. Those are the most fun to win.
No different than hitting a long shot at the track or playing 1 number on roulette and hitting.
It's called gambling for a reason. When someone goes about it with an accountants view, well that just takes the fun out of it.

They are all bad bets. Some just worse than others.
Lot better than sitting in a chair when it's hot and humid.
Nice run, Bwana!
