One of the most important rules in the game of craps

I was just talking to an old friend who is a great example of one of the most important rules in the game craps.

We were playing at the Stardust in the early 70s. At that time the table limit was a mere $500. We were all on the pro pool circuit at the time and on this particular night the table was full of pro pool players. Talk about guys that like to bet!

This friend and another friend each put in $35 for a total bankroll of $70. Not much -even back then. A pretty blonde picked up the dice and started throwing... and throwing... and throwing. And then the next roller had a hot hand... and it continued that way for what seemed like an eternity. When they got up to 110 THOUSAND their luck changed. They lost back 10K in a matter of minutes.

This friend of mine realized what had just happened... At the end of the next session - he walked out of the casino with 50K. As a matter of fact, he dropped out of the pool tournament we were in and headed for home - even though he was undefeated in the tournament.

My other friend didn't leave the table until he was back down to his original $35. The next day he lost that.

In the game of dice - luck shines upon us all. It’s what we do next that matters.

One of the most important rules in the game of craps is this:
Always quit a winner!
