I ignored cum. probailities at the boat last night!

Violated my no week-end rule again. Went to the casino late, and it was
still crowded. Two tables open at $10. One finally cleared out a little,
and I decided to do my $40 go for broke thing. Instead of betting the
pass line, I put $40 outside. A black guy wearing some "fine" clothes
and a lot of gold, was shooting the dice. I was a bit irritated that I
didn't bet the pass line...he made more than a few passes. But, along
the way he also threw my outside numbers, and several times they were
the point. I pressed, and had all the outside numbers at $25, and
eventially the 10 & 4 at $50. When the guy finally sevened out, I left a
$150 on the table, but had over $450 in my rack.

I was going to cash in and stroll around anyway, but the pit declared
last shooter for that table. about half the players cashed in, the other
half elbowed in at the other table. So I had to wait a considerable time
to try my hit and run thing again. Played VP, and held my own, finally
the table cleared out some. This time I bought in for a $100, put $10 on
the pass with $10 odds, and placed the 6&8 for $12 each.....seven out
with no hits! I decided to heck with it, cash in and get out with what I
had left. Went to the cage, and they had one window open with a long
line....another to heck with it, and went back to the craps table with
my fifty some dollars in chips. Did the same pass line with odds, place
6 & 8. This time I hit a pretty good hand....not having the cashier's
windows open cost them another $200. I went home with just at a $600
winner. I've been pretty lucky with my go for broke short buy-in so far.
I expect it will eventially even out....but I still like the play.

Quite true, but almost none were clearly due to the track and none of it the result of inadequate runoff - Mamola highsided in '88 and missed the race with concussion; Gardner broke his leg in '89 when he highsided in turn six, slid to the bale-protected rail but didn't hit it; Shobert hit a burning-out Magee on the cool-down lap and ended his career while Magee broke a leg in the process in '89; Lawson lost a front brake pad in turn one in practice and slide into a wall and broke his heel, missing half the season; Magee highsided out in six like Gardner, hit his head on the tarmac, spent a couple weeks in a coma, lost the year and essentially ended his GP career; Schwantz low-sided out in 11 and broke his wrist; Mamola saved a massive slide and dislocated his wrist withour crashing - all that in 1990. ... I don't recall a typical crash where someone lost it and rode or slid off the track and contacted a wall, beyond Doohan glancing the bales on the inside into turn 9 after losing control out of the corkscrew in '93. ...
