Hey gents, glad to see this thread made its way over here. It inspired me to register, actually.
14 of us took a party bus from central Ohio to Belterra (Southern Indiana, 50 miles SW of Cincinnati on the Ohio River). 3 people were too drunk to gamble once we got there, which kind of defeated the purpose. The tables were up and down but provided 2 notable highlights:
1. During one of my rolls, my brother-in-law bought in at the other end of the table and put $25 on each of the hard ways (I didn't know this at the time). Once the point was established, I threw 5 hard ways in a row. The guy next to him was on them, too, so they were both going nuts. The only thing that would have made it better for my BIL is if the dealers would have let him press his hard 6 up to $50 when he asked, but they said the dice were already out. They hadn't announced that the dice were out, and they definitely weren't in my hand, but whatever. My next roll was a hard 6, of course.
2. My wife was the shooter, and my father-in-law put them both on a $25 C/E on the come out. She hit it. He put them on it 2 more times and she rolled it 2 more times. Nice little payout to start a roll. The next morning she wanted to gamble more before we left while I nursed my hangover. When I found her at the table, she asked me to cash in $1400 in chips from the $600 she started with. Not too shabby. Which reminds me, has anyone started a "Wives and the Not So Stupid Shit They Say/Do" thread yet?
