“Playing a ’Round’”

One of my favorite things to do. Have a drink, relax, and play dress-up. I know it may be a little old fashioned, but changing your attire can change you. Take advantage of the atmosphere. It’s a nightclub environment. (or at least it can be. Lot’s of casinos now cater to the theme park environment. The family lure is fine. But for me Vegas will always be an adult playground). I love to dress the part. Cocktail dress, jewelry, and painted nails still gets proper laudation from the dealers. Frankly everyone treats you differently when your "dressed". Look the lady and you will be treated as such.

It’s wonderful, reminiscent of childhood dress-up! Arriving at the crap table looking fine, requesting a $500 marker and rolling the dice (red finger nail polish contrasting against the white and black of the dice)...it’s trés sheik!

Playing a "round" can have a very different meaning. When you approach the craps table, look around. Just observe for a few moments. Get a sense of the moods. Are the players enjoying themselves, or are they "working" much too hard. My own observation has been that men in particular "work" too hard at the game. Of course, the basis of this statistic I admit is unfairly weighted since the tables are predominately occupied by males.

Nonetheless, men rarely back-away. They stay and play and often insist that the very next round will be theirs. That luck is bound to change. Don’t let this strategy infect you ladies. Luck is fickle. Don’t be trapped into heavy losses thinking just one more roll will turn the table in your favor. Know when to walk away. When is that? Whenever you sense it. Yes, nothing magical here. When the house is winning repeatedly. When the players seem to be loosing whether they bet "passline" or "don’t come". Get the message. Heed the signs. Take a walk. Go shopping. But get off that table and live to play another day.

My favorite way to "play a round" is too assess the table and decide that I am going to stay for one full round of the table. That means rolling the dice and continuing to play until the dice come full circle back to me to roll again. I enjoy saving my heavier bets to bet on myself. Why not? If I don’t have confidence in myself I shouldn’t be playing at all. With a little luck you can easily play a full round with less than $500 at risk. Yes, $500 seems serious to me. In fact, it is. One does not always win.

Never, and I do mean never go to the table and gamble with money you can’t afford to loose! It won’t be fun and this is not a game for the faint of heart. You have to be able to play and place bets quickly. You can’t do that if your constantly worrying about how much money your losing...
