Down $850 early how do you recover from a bad start?

WOULD LIEK TO HEAR FROM SOME OF THE VETS! What do you do when you get PUNCHED IN THE MOUTH early in your trip? How do you recover?

I went to AC Monday through Thursday with a $500 per day limit. It was a $10 table, with a few moments on the $15 tables. Ego and a rare lack of discipline found me down $850 day one and chasing. I was never able to recover. What are your strategies when it goes left?

When my strategy isn’t working, I go back to basics. $25 Don’t and $12 6&8.

Hey everyone, so I’ve gotta be honest I’m on a two visit losing streak, and wow, does it ever feel like a totally random game sometimes.

You know, it always comes back to me what that German scientist said: the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I really think, for your own growth as a Craps player, it helps to try mixing things up and going against your usuaal strategy now and then.

Man, lemme tell ya, it’s been a wild ride! I haven’t had a single losin’ session at the table since way back on Maarch 16, 2020. But I gotta be real my system’s a total hybrid, kinda like mixin’ the light and the dark side, ya know? I never, ever go swingin’ for the HOME RUN; makin’ a solid 20% return on my bankroll is totally enough for me, and I’m super happy with that! Oh, and I’ve been playin’ in both NC and Biloxi this whole time, which is pretty cool!

If there’s one thing I’ve learned for sure, it’s the golden rule of gambling you always, always chase those losses!! Seriously, lol.

Whew, that happens and it is a little depressing. We all like to win. I remind myself: a San Diego vacation would cost $350 a night plus resort fees, parking, Internet, and more. Add restaurants, and we’re near $500 or more per day excluding any entertainment. If I can get most of these for FREE in a casino, then I feel better. At least at a casino, I have a chance.

I place the 5 for $200 if I am down $300. Almost gets me even if it hits.

Okay, so here’s how I usually approach this at the craps table I’m definitely no expert, but this has been a pretty solid strategy for me. I like to place the 6 and 8 right off the bat, and lay the 4 to sort of hedge my bets. Once I’ve hit the 6 or 8 a couple times, I’ll take the 4 down to lock in some profit and reduce that risk. And honestly, if I’m feeling it and the table’s hot, I might even expand to the 5 and 9 as well, just to spread things out a bit more. What do you think does that make sense, or do you have a different take on it?
