It makes for a fun time though -- because you can stand around and make judgements on people by looking at them. I think girls like doing that and they like throwing the dice as well.

If you think the person looks like a Mush or is just wearing Steelers gear -- bet the don't pass and root against them. If not -- limp in with a $5 bet on the dice at like a 1.6% takeout ... and bet $25 or $50 in the back at a 0.00% takeout after a number is up.

I'm horrible with coming up for ideas for dates -- but the dice table was an outstanding one. Good offbeat conversation + slight buzz of low stakes gambling + the house edge is freaking tiny and there is no pressure to bet on every roll or every shooter.
There is nothing like being on a hot crap table. It's freakin awesome. It literally draws the entire casino to it.

I second that. It has happened to me a few times. It's pretty orgasmic.

Vegas Vets are found everywhere in today's society;they come in all shapes and sizes...differing views of the world around them...oddly dressed with various hat sizes..male/female, introvert/extrovert,sanitary worker/lawyer,gay/not gay.


One thing's for sure.














And I ain't gonna say it.

If there is a craps table...I'm there! I guess it's a good thing that Indy Downs (10 minutes from my house) is a RACINO and they only have the electronic version as I would probably be divorced by now if thye had the real thing.
I love to play the "don'ts". If I can get on the 4 or 10 and then load up with a cover bet on the hard way I'm set.

Once missed out on getting our bags out for the porters at the end of a cruise because I was on a smokin hot craps table for several hours. Me and the wife had to carry all of our bags off the boat and thru the New Orleans terminal...almost had a heart attack, but I won over 2K and had the time of my gambling life. Swear to god this lady rolled 11 or 12 six times in a row and the place was going NUTS!

Craps is the bomb and it doesn't take that long to figure it out. Just get on a slow table and talk up a dealer and they will tell you what you need to know. Best action game in the world!
