The point is 6. I have already hit my last 2 points. The table is rockin' and people are cheering. Who doesn't cheer when they are making money…while drinking? The money is loading up after each roll. I keep hittin' a 5 (3 - 2). The lady at the end screams every time she sees a 3. "So close" she says each time the 5 comes up. I have 2 units ($12) placed on the 8, $5 on the 9, and $5 on 5. With $5 on the passline I buy 3 times the odds ($15) and have $5 on the hard 6.

So here comes the fun. I feel it. Sometimes the stars are aligned and are in plain view. I throw $5 on the hard 6 hop. I have 1 roll to hit  3 - 3. One chance or the money is gone. I line the dice up to my favorite 6 - 6, stack the right one on the left and toss them to the back of the table. I don't  watch the dice. I watch the lady at the end. I watch her scream for the first 3 and then I hear the entire table scream as the second 3 rolls upwards. I smile brightly. The kid (prob 22 ) with a tattoo sleeve on his right arm turns and gives me high 5.

Here is the breakdown of the hop roll:

$5 passline: $5
$15 point odds: $18
$5 hard six: $45
$5 hard six hop: $150

Total pickup: $248
