Gamblers at a Craps Table

If you are seeking thrills, noise and more enjoyment than you can likely bear, then craps is simply the game to gamble on.

Craps is a fast-paced game with whales, budget gamblers, and everybody in the middle. If you are a people-watcher this is one casino game that you’ll like to watch. There’s the high roller, gambling with a big amount of money and making boisterous announcements when she bets across the board, "Five Hundred and Twenty dollars across," you will hear the whale say. He’s the bettor to watch at this game and they know it. They will either win big or lose big-time and there’s no in between.

There is the budget gambler, possibly trying to acquaint himself with the whales. He will inform the other players of books he’s read up on, on dice tossing and hang around the most accomplished tosser at the craps table, all set to talk and "pick each others minds".

There is the student of Frank Scoblete latest craps class. Despite the fact that Frank is the best there is, his disciple needs to do his homework. This player will take 5 minutes to setup his dice, so apply patience.

My favorite players at the table are the undeniable gents from the good old days. These elderly gents are usually patient, generally generous and most likely will always give hints from the "great old days."

When you take the plunge and choose to join the game, be sure you use correct etiquette. Find a place on the rail and lay your money on the table in front of you in the "come" spot. Never do this when the pair of dice are in motion or you will quickly be known as the last personality I wanted to talk about, the jerk.
