Before You Leave Me

Prior to 11 AM departure from Allegany  - well , had to give the table one last go.
Down to the casino and the craps table.
Alone. Me shooting , 4 crew

Issued $ 200 , and hoped. No magic. Hardways set , soft not too high - little action
Made ten passes - then 7 out for one go , the other two tries were mediocre at best
Looked down , said ' up a tad ' and coloured and walked. I was 47 dollars to the good.
Now if I had done this 2 other times I would have been up for the whole experience
So hard to walk away. Lesson learned ....... Again
You can't fix stupid or greedy

During the day , Tuesday .. there was a lot of commotion in the afternoon. One fellow to my right was applying his betting system
Players were muttering for ten minutes. This guy was taking 3 minutes to lay his bets and discuss what he could do or what he wanted.
He finally left , saying ' he needed a friendlier table ' 
Good luck guy , they don't get much friendlier then that place

So , you know its not only me , trying a system.
I practiced the hardways set at home and in the hotel room. I was getting very quick at setting for the roll. I noticed that some other shooters took comparably longer , so I guess thats why the crew didn't mind the set.

Back to our humdrum world , no whirling lights and binging machines NO FREE DRINKS either.
However , our drinks were probably costing us $ 80 a pop based on our betting losses.
I think Seneca Allegany wants us back.
Oh, the final bill minus credits was $ 5 for the room and two meals for the 2 days. Don't even think of the gambling losses or that was one expensive hotel room

Weather : bright , golden and cold. Rain on the way.

We are expecting a 23 yr old visitor - M's second cousin from London , England. One week ,  and I guess we'll get the living w/ an adult son experience. Is it good ???
He has been back packing through the U.S. for the past 2 months.
He catches the MegaBus in N.J. and arrives at 6 AM. We pick him up at the subway stop 3 miles from our home.
