Gamblers at a Craps Table


If you are on the hunt for thrills, noise and more fun than you might be able to stand, then craps is simply the game to enjoy.

Craps is a fast-paced gambling game with whales, low-rollers, and everybody in between. If you are a people-watcher this is one casino game that you’ll love to watch. There is the whale, buying in with a big bankroll and making loud declarations when he wagers across the board, "Five Hundred and Twenty dollars across," you’ll hear them say. He’s the gambler to watch at this game and they know it. They will either win big-time or lose big-time and there is no in between.

There is the low-roller, possibly trying to acquaint themselves with the whales. He will inform the other bettors of books she’s read up on, on dice setting and bum around the most accomplished shooter at the craps table, prepared to confer and "pick each others brains".

There is the student of Frank Scoblete latest craps workshop. While Frank is the best there is, his disciple needs to do his homework. This guy will take five minutes to set his dice, so practice patience.

My preferred people at the table are the undeniable gentlemen from the old times. These elderly guys are generally patient, almost always congenial and will almost always offer pointers from the "great old days."

When you take the plunge and decide to participate in the game, be sure you use proper etiquette. Locate a position on the rail and place your cash down in front of you in the "come" area. Refrain from doing this when the dice are in motion or you will quickly be referred to as the final character I wished to talk of, the jerk.
