<<<.they know when to ask me about my "lay the four's" ..! I love that bet....>>> Well, lisa, I live in Las Vegas! And Craps is my game. The only time I loose is when I play no 4/10....I like it to...it hardly never comes 4x in a row...but thats when I have lost! And when you start with $100 no 4, then $200,400,800....it starts to get real...and you only win 50% But I have never lost after 4x...but I have seen it go 5x only once. I have lost after 4x in a row 5x...my biggest was $1200. My longest winning streak was 21 winning days in a row....Got to know the odds/got to know what the table is doing...... Jeff

Lisa, I get a kick out of your craps knowledge. How often do you go? I like to go alot, but luckily the drive keeps me home. As for CPQ, I totally understand, I bought at 3, stock up almost 4 and my option is up 1/4, thats silly! TXN is on a roll!!! ~ggggg~ Up 5... NAZ and DOW looking very very strong, is there a number I missed, or is it just sideline money flowing back in to the fray? If so I need the voodoo queen to get it back to CPQ!!! For how much the techs are bouncing CPQ is inda puttering, opened at the same level it is at now. Even IBM is climbing interday, and thats pathetic..lol Chat-rooms are fun for light stress relief, and you never know what might happen, but it gets old and I agree with knowing a pal and talking to them. Keep the dice from me and everyone lives... :} Electric

>> have to tell you I dont like what they did with the premium on this sucker.. I had similar experiences with COGNOS (& CYMI) when it down nearly 10, I bought out of the money calls and the stock went up 3 , my option by a 1/4. That's why i try to buy on the money options, such as Jan 70 CPQ. These are 10 now and were 8 last friday.

Lisa, off topic - yeah we are a bunch of gamblers! Craps is a great game. I don't play the pass/come bets much anymore - doesn't pay off for me. I play the 4-10 with odds, yo, and craps. It's been a while since I've been on a table that's had a good run. As soon as your money is on the table - 7 out - that's where you clean up, right?. What I try to wait for are the hard numbers - they come in cycles or bunches. My best results have been playing the hard ways. I save the marathon sessions for the blackjack table. My record was 16.5 hours nonstop at the same table - I walked away even. I have no idea how many free Heinekens I drank. The entire table was together for about 9 hours. There was this 70ish woman who was a crackup - she was drinking 'screaming orgasms' and 'sex on the beach' continuously. People were waiting an hour + to get in on the table - everyone wanted to get in on the great time and money being made. For the last 9 years in the middle of March, myself and a few friends ride our bicycles from Barstow to Las Vegas. It's about 160 miles. Over the years it's taken us anywhere from 7 to 11 hours depending on the weather and who's riding. We usually ride the Friday of St Patties Day weekend. The tradition has become - get up at 3am, eat breakfast, drive to Barstow (80 miles), start cycling about 6:30, get to Vegas mid to late afternoon, have a beer party in the parking lot of the hotel we're staying at, check-in, eat dinner, and gamble till sunup. Get a few hours sleep, have breakfast, then off to the marathon gambling session. This past March, we had friends from Minneapolis and Denver meet us. A great time was had by all. See ya, kw.
