If you are hoping for excitement, noise and more excitement than you can stand, then craps is the game to gamble on.

Craps is a fast-paced casino game with high-rollers, budget gamblers, and anyone in between. If you are a people-watcher this is one game that you will want to study. There’s the high roller, buying in with a enormous amount of cash and making loud announcements when he bets across the board, "$520 across," you will hear the whale exclaim. He is the individual to watch at this table and he knows it. They’ll either succeed big or don’t win huge and there’s nothing in the middle.

There is the low-roller, most likely attempting to acquaint himself with the high-roller. He will inform the other bettors of books he’s read on dice throwing and hover around the hottest shooter at the table, prepared to confer and "pick each others brains".

My preferred people at the table are the real gentlemen from the old times. These experienced gents are normally patient, generally kind and will almost always share tips from the "good ole days."

There are a great many different personalities that you will see around a bursting Craps table. When you bite the bullet and decide to join the game, be certain you use correct conduct. Find a position on the rail and put your $$$$ in front of you in the "come" spot. Do not ever do this when the dice are moving or you will become known as the last character I wanted to talk of, the jerk.
