If you are wanting thrills, noise and more entertainment than you can likely endure, then craps is simply the game to play.
Craps is a fast-paced game with high-rollers, low-rollers, and everybody in the middle. If you are a people-watcher this is one game that you’ll like to observe. There is the high roller, gambling with a large amount of money and making boisterous declarations when she bets across the board, "520 dollars across," you will hear him say. He’s the player to watch at this game and they know it. The whale will either win big or lose big-time and there is no in between.
There’s the low-roller, possibly attempting to acquaint himself with the high-roller. He will inform the other players of books she’s read up on, on dice throwing and hang around the most accomplished tosser at the table, all set to talk and "pick each others brains".
There is the disciple of Frank Scoblete most recent craps workshop. Despite the fact that Frank is the very best there is, his student has to do his homework. This guy will take five minutes to set his dice, so apply understanding.
My favorite players at the table are the true gentlemen from the good old times. These elderly guys are usually patient, almost always kind and will almost always give advice from the "great ole days."
When you take the chance and choose to participate in the game, be sure you use good etiquette. Find a position on the rail and place your money on the table in front of you in the "come" spot. Never do this when the dice are being tossed or you’ll quickly be known as the last personality I wished to mention, the jerk.
