Players at a Craps Game
If you are seeking thrills, noise and more entertainment than you might be able to stand, then craps is simply the casino game to play.
Craps is a fast-paced game with high-rollers, low-rollers, and everybody in the middle. If you’re a people-watcher this is one game that you will love to watch. There is the whale, playing with a large amount of cash and making loud announcements when she bets across the board, "520 dollars across," you will hear him say. She’s the bettor to watch at this table and they know it. They will either win big-time or lose big-time and there’s no in between.
There’s the budget gambler, possibly attempting to acquaint himself with the high-roller. He will let the other players of books he’s read up on, on dice throwing and hang around the most accomplished shooter at the craps table, ready to confer and "pick each others brains".
There’s the student of Frank Scoblete most recent craps class. Even though Frank is the very best there is, his disciple has to do his homework. This guy will take five minutes to setup his dice, so apply understanding.
My favorite players at the table are the real gents from the old times. These senior guys are usually tolerant, almost always generous and most likely will always offer hints from the "good ole days."
When you take the plunge and choose to join the game, make sure you utilize appropriate etiquette. Find a position on the rail and place your cash on the table in front of you in the "come" area. Never ever do this when the pair of dice are moving or you will be known as the final character I wanted to talk of, the jerk.
