If you are wanting excitement, noise and more entertainment than you can likely endure, then craps is the only game to bet on.

Craps is a fast-paced game with high-rollers, low-rollers, and everyone in the middle. If you’re a people-watcher this is one game that you’ll absolutely enjoy observing. There is the big spender, gambling with a huge bank roll and making loud declarations when she bets across the board, "520 dollars across," you will hear him say. He’s the player to watch 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’s the low-roller, most likely trying to acquaint himself with the whales. He will let the other competitors of books he’s read through on dice throwing and converge on the hottest player at the table, ready to talk and "pick each others brains".

There is the disciple of Frank Scoblete most recent craps workshop. While Frank is the very best there is, his devotee must do his homework. This guy will take 5 minutes to setup his dice, so apply patience.

My preferred people at the table are the undeniable gents from the old times. These senior gents are usually tolerant, generally congenial and will very likely always share pointers from the "great old days."

When you take the plunge and choose to participate in the game, be sure you use appropriate etiquette. Find a place on the rail and put your cash down in front of you in the "come" spot. Never do this when the pair of dice are in motion or you will be referred to as the last personality I wanted to talk about, the jerk.
