Enthusiasts at a Craps Table


If you are wanting excitement, boisterousness and more entertainment than you can endure, then craps is the only game to play.

Craps is a fast-paced gambling game with whales, budget gamblers, and everybody in between. If you’re a people-watcher this is one game that you will like to watch. There is the whale, playing with a huge bank roll and making loud announcements when she bets across the board, "$520 across," you will hear them say. She’s the bettor to watch at this game and they know it. The whale will either win big-time or lose big-time and there is no in the middle.

There’s the low-roller, most likely attempting to acquaint himself with the whales. He will inform the other competitors of books he’s read up on, on dice tossing and converge on the hottest shooter at the craps table, all set to talk and "share ideas and thoughts".

There’s the disciple of Frank Scoblete most recent craps class. Despite the fact that Frank is the best there is, his disciple has to do his homework. This guy will take 5 minutes to setup his dice, so apply patience.

My favorite people at the table are the real chaps from the good old times. These elderly gents are generally tolerant, almost always generous and most likely will always share hints from the "good ole days."

When you take the chance and make a choice to join the game, make sure you use good etiquette. Find a position on the rail and lay your money on the table in front of you in the "come" spot. Never do this when the dice are moving or you’ll become referred to as the final character I wanted to talk about, the jerk.
