Players at a Craps Table

If you are looking for thrills, noise and more enjoyment than you can endure, then craps is simply the game to play.

Craps is a quick-paced game with high-rollers, low-rollers, and everyone 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 large bankroll and making loud announcements when she bets across the board, "Five Hundred and Twenty across," you’ll hear them say. She’s the player to observe at this table and they know it. The whale will either win big-time or lose big-time and there’s no in between.

There is the low-roller, most likely trying to acquaint himself with the whales. he/she will tell the other competitors of books he’s read through on dice tossing and bum around the most accomplished tosser at the table, ready to talk and "pick each others brains".

There is the devotee of Frank Scoblete most recent craps class. Although Frank is the very best there is, his devotee has to do his homework. This player will take five minutes to setup his dice, so practice understanding.

My preferred individuals at the table are the undeniable chaps from the good old days. These senior guys are generally tolerant, almost always congenial and most likely will always give tips from the "great ole days."

When you take the chance and choose to join the game, make certain you use good etiquette. Find a place on the rail and put your cash down in front of you in the "come" spot. Refrain from doing this when the pair of dice are moving or you’ll quickly be known as the very last personality I wished to talk about, the jerk.
