My Day

Today I went to my favourite room with my favourite die.

I sat down. I needed a six, but it kept rolling in ones, twos, threes, fours and fives. I quickly got agitated. What a disaster this day was turning into! I needed a six. My rolling of the die became more agitated. More vigorous. Surely the powerful wrist action of my right hand could save the day. Oh bloopin' 'eck! More ones. And twos. And threes. And I think there were some fours and fives.
Vexed and impatient I angrily scratched my itchy scalp. A few flakes of dandruff landed sorrowfully onto the table and I swept them away with a hostile flourish, leaving a thin veil of dust that I vowed to clean up at some point.
It was my final roll. I was practically on the verge of insanity and was close to stomping very hard on the die and maybe tipping over an empty coffee cup, such was my fury and rage that number six was absent.
So no pressure when suddenly...SIX!

Get the f@@k in there sporty-horty-hort FANS! Unfortunately my phone had run out of battery, so I had no means of recording this momentous occasion. However, you won't believe the next bit, I thought I should go for some more rolls, see what the die was up to. I mean it could be sixing now, in fact, I was pretty sure it was sixing.

I texted Glendale to check. He had said that if the die was moving slightly quicker through time and space that it was sixing and that I should throw it in the middle of the room, as down the sides was where the blag sixing occurs.

Next roll...SIX! I was on fire. The day was turning around. I won't bore you with all the details, but in the next 42 rolls, I had no less than seven sixes. A sure fire sign that the die was hot and hitting the six area.

I left the room ecstatic and to celebrate took the missus out for a slap up fish and chip supper. I've decided to start a diary of my die rolling sessions to see how it goes. I reckon I get more sixes than most people and I know some people who are really serious and successful about getting sixes. This one guy stated really young, he was known as a sixer when he was in the cub scouts! I think now he can roll no other number if he really focuses.

Anyway it's great to be on the board and I hope other die hard die enthusiasts will pipe up now.

Years ago when awps, usually 2 sited in betting shops id be a regular visitor in the morning. Old chap who would et on the Bags, if all was failing he would resort to 3 dice to do f/c and t/c bets.


I have my own dice/dog betting disaster storey.

It's about time someone devised a one sided die. With multiple sides it just gives oily strangers an opportunity to trick money out of gamblers.

Cf, that's a good suggestion and I appreciate it, even though I was never much good at the bogey game. boooooogeys! No see, I'm rubbish. As a reward here is a quick bonus location tip. There is a Let's Play Dond in the Houvopenetry Litten Tree. Jackpotty meet 2015 to be in the Litten Tree in Houvenponononotry. There's also a perfect game for Dom, what more could you want?

Amazing, it may have been the only new posting over the weekend, but it was an uber good one. Oh, uber spawn on the Alice's today. I had a £16 plus repeat awarded off £2 in and a £15 deal no repeat from £6 in. Pretty phat for Alices I'm sure you'll agree.

As for you I..I mean mysteryplumy, I like your thinking, but I'm not sure I can handle the responsibility that rolling two dice brings. I'm very much a one die man.

Singular = die
Plural = dice.

Asked this question once in a quiz

" What do you call a six sided cube, often used for gambling or board games ? "

3/4 got the question wrong, and almost started a riot in the pub.

What a game that was. Only ever saw 2 and I don't remember them ever repeating for over £30.

Boogie nights was another good game, think it failed test. Was a clone of PCB. Had JP repeat for £60 on that but it was £15 JP.

Let the good times roll.
