Yep.....

And I found that my MasterCard is active for 3% charge.... so obviously I've taken some more to try and win back some of the losses. Oh...that's called chasing isn't it?!

Just had a 34 number roll but didn't have enough stack to start with. Nevertheless after another session of 2 hours, I've mad back a staggering US$500 of my
Loss!! Went to the member desk to see what I can get for a break and managed to eek out food vouchers for HK$200 ($30) and an umbrella (random) and a
"Surprise" box (full of shit probably). Need food !! Need to remind myself to take a break! Need more
Discipline. Can't have people on this forum
Believing that a member here can be on full tilt !!!!

Taking some time now. Sitting down and waiting for food. Reflecting on the way in which the games are played over here. Get used to people breathing down your shoulder trying to peek over and watch dice with no understanding of what's going on. Get used to people pushing into you and crowding a hot looking table no matter what the game is. Get used to tour groups wandering into the large casinos like Venetian and Parisian, tagged with numbers and having no etiquette watching the games because they have never been exposed to such madness.

Drinks? Well...you can have water and tea. Tipping? Are you serious? Only the Gweilos (foreign devils) drink alcohol whilst gambling! The thinking is "Why would you want to drink when gambling with real money"!! The culture is different over here. This is about winning. Fun? If you want fun, then go and do the attractions that are built for your amusement. Except...go
queue up behind a mass of people.

This is a serious place. Children still have no place in this gaming city. They say children aren't really catered for in Vegas. I disagree completely. I will go with family to Vegas in April 2017 and there's not enough days for them to do the things on the list.

If you want to play power bacarrat, come to Macau.

Food is here. Slightly different to Vegas.. the quality for this fast food is somewhat different.

 

Here's a little bit of fun information. I'm in the Plaza lounge taking a moment and watching Bacarrat from a distance. Minimums in this particular room is HK$10,000. Middle aged men playing hard, and their younger partners are simply stunning and sitting next to them.

When you enter these places they can be even more intimidating than you think. The playing level is beyond my comfort zone, if I ever had a sane level of comfort....

Back to a different craps table...let the gods of Variance be kind

 

Here's another fact...you know the mirror on the craps table? It's to assist the dealers and boxman with the table activity. They hate dice hitting that mirror during play in most places. Well...here, some of the players use it to smash test the dice against when choosing their two die. The dealers don't even bat an eyelid.

 

Wow. Great detail and pics. Hope you win some or all back.

 

Having a break (because that's what a craps player should do often). So...more facts. I played in the Plaza, and the craps players kept moving position on their shoot. Players even added to their number place bets themselves. House doesn't seem to mind. They know the players. It's a different way of playing .

Had a recovery roll just now and cashed out HK$12,000 up on that session. It's now 1.30am. I've got 1-2 hours before the craps tables all close. Yes...that's right. They close them at 3-3.30am usually.

I've got HK$36k to make up. With my play I won't make it back as I won't press it all in the first 5-10 throws. So I should be sensible. I've even got the early afternoon tomorrow. Let's see Just how sensible I'll be now....

Blimey...machine gone mad... I got 5 funny things. $535 for a $10 line bet. Time to cash out my amazing HK$400 win. Don't knock it. US$50 towards the debt.
