Question: Dice Coach, is Craps your
only Game?
Answer: Absolutely not!
I think every one needs a second, or maybe a third game to play. If Craps
is not working for you today, you need another game to fall back on or
break your rhythm. And you do not want to have a "burn out" on just one
game. Remember, we need to keep the fun in this gaming business.
My second game is Blackjack and the Blackjack tournaments. I also play
some video poker, and of course, during football season, I enjoy betting
on both College and Pro games. Along with regular betting, many of the
casinos offer football contests. Some are free and offer prizes up to
$10,000.00 per week. Others are based on the entire season and pay hefty
prizes at the end of the season.
This past weekend, I competed in a blackjack tournament at the Las Vegas
Club. Out of 120 plus players I came in 5th. Place. At the end, I was in
first place with only five hands to go. Unfortunately, I pushed on two
hands and lost three hands, falling from 1st. to 5th place. The prize
money for first place was $7,000.00 and fifth place was $800.00. For a
$99.00 entry fee I still had a very good return on my money and had a lot
of fun doing it.
Beth also played but, unfortunately, did not make it to the semi final
round. Her name was drawn for a $100.00 wild card spot, so overall, we had
a great time and made money too!!
In Las Vegas there are many Blackjack Tournaments. Some are major ones
with larger buy-ins like the Million Dollar Hilton Tournament. Others are
mini or locals tournaments where the buy-ins range from $10 to $25, and
the prize money is considerably less. The casinos also host Invitational
Blackjack Tournaments for their preferred players.
Yes, I have done my share of all types of tournaments, even the Hilton's
Million Dollar Tournament, with its $1,000.00 entry fee and chance to make
it to the $1,000,000.00 final round! And one day I will make it to that
$1,000,000.00 final round!
The best part is that my Craps winnings pay for my Blackjack Tournament
entries. What could be better!
My next game will be Texas Hold'em. I have the books and am doing my
homework, but it will take some time to master.
Yes, there is more to life than just Craps. Remember to always keep the
fun in the games, and your gaming career will last as long as you do.
