    Just had my afternoon session. It's all gone. 8 shooters. 0 points but 7s at the beginning so no one playing the don't.

    Ugly stuff but we are all stubborn around the table. Walked away because we actually need something to eat today. Down bankroll for the moment...

    Sorry to hear that things aren't going too well at the craps table.

    How are the crowds? Are the casinos busy?

    I'm in the Venetian now. I wouldn't go into the one in Vegas to play, and I've got no Sands cards in Vegas. However, this Venetian Macau is the only table that I've seen or played on that actually has seen some decent wins/shoots. Having an Italian and then will re-charge and play there. A note for you: it's not easy getting money out In Macau. The ATMs spit out limits of cash and the cashier desk charges % for a withdrawal on Plus or another instant system.

    Venetian - busy
    Parisian - busy
    Plaza - empty
    Wynn Palace - empty
    Himalaya (holiday inn) - desolate and looking like it's being re-modeled for something to come.

    Haven't been to other places.

    I have no intention of going to the other areas of Macau unless I get my stake money back and can 'relax'.

    Vegas to me is a Convent compared to Macau.

    Whilst I'm at it, none of the inside major House Advantage bets are available. No AT/AS or Firebets. I think the Chinese would load the table more on those bets than the numbers! But if it hit at 175-1 you can be sure someone would have a tidy sum on it.

    Disaster, which looks all the more usual a story! You know when you recognize the pattern yet you can't draw yourself away from the table? That's the difference between winning and losing entire bankrolls. So, burnt through the same bankroll from yesterday. Crap dice. Always 6-1 for seven out. So annoying. Venetian owns me.

    What is preventing you from playing the Don't.? Maybe try that to change your luck. Make a dramatic comeback!

    Well, the fact that I have no cash left for one. Secondly, my method of going to an ATM including Plus for auto debit is on cycle (which means it's locked out for 24 hours). Macau cashpoints and means to withdraw money is now tight.

    I remember wandering around the strip In Vegas trying to do the same thing but over there is pretty easy to get a marker, which in my opinion only suits those players that just use it out of convenience of not handling larger sums of money to and from accounts and carrying around wads of notes.

    There were quite a few people asking me in Chinese whether I needed money, but you want to avoid Taking this option because the outcome isn't pretty.

    So, I've skulked back to my "free" room, even without the ability to get the ferry back to HK today.

    This is a situation all of us don't want to be faced with.

    If there's a point to this thread, it needs to be that we as players shouldn't even consider playing if we may end up in this kind of situation.

    I may try again at 12:01 am and see if the bank resets the clock for the next day or whether they use the 24 hour limit withdrawal time policy.

    What a nightmare. All my
    Making as I came to Macau with a set budget, and ended up blowing double.
