I was just re-reading all the threads on this topic and Vegas guy you are right positive thinking makes all the difference. " If you think you can or you think you can't- you're right"

I believe a longer roll at a craps table brings the crowds but not leaving quick enough when the roll is over allows the casino to recoup much of the losses a hot roller provides. Saying that, even in a hot roll you have to know how best to bet. Unfortunately you really don't know that til the roll is over.
