🏀 Basketball Craps – Day 3 | Tough Loss, Big Lessons (-$900 | Record 2–1)

👉 Day 3 Results

October 20, 2025

After a blazing start to the Basketball Craps series, Day 3 reminded us that no system — no matter how sharp — is immune to variance.

Early in the session, everything was clicking. The table rhythm was smooth, the dice were cooperating, and we had the casino on its heels. Momentum was on our side, and it felt like another strong win was on the way. But as any player knows, the game can turn fast.

The Breakdown

Starting Bankroll: $5,700

Ending Bankroll: $4,800

Profit/Loss: -$900

Hourly Rate: -$36/hr

Session Length: 2 hours

Rolls Played: 201

Series Record: 2–1

• Midway through the game, things took a wild turn. Despite our strong start, a brutal cold streak hit — one of those classic casino storms that test both your nerve and your discipline.
• We fought back hard, landing three 4-point plays and one clutch 3-pointer to stay competitive. Those hits kept us in the game, but not enough to erase the earlier damage. After 201 rolls and two solid hours of play, we wrapped up the session down $900, leaving our bankroll at $4,800.
• The Lesson
• Every system faces adversity. The key is not to crumble when the dice go cold, but to stay disciplined, trust the system, and ride out the variance. These moments are part of the grind — part of building rhythm, composure, and long-term confidence.
• The takeaway from Day 3 is simple but powerful:
• Even when the shots aren’t falling, stick to your game plan. The bounce-back begins with composure.
• Day 4 is up next — and with the system intact, the comeback begins.
