If you are seeking thrills, boisterousness and more fun than you might be able to stand, then craps is the only game to enjoy.

Craps is a quick-paced gambling game with high-rollers, low-rollers, and everyone in the middle. If you are a people-watcher this is one casino game that you will absolutely enjoy observing. There’s the high-roller, buying in with a huge amount of cash and making boisterous announcements when she wagers across the board, "$520 across," you’ll hear the whale say. He’s the player to observe at this game and they know it. They will either win big or lose big-time and there’s no in between.

There’s the budget gambler, most likely attempting to acquaint himself with the high-roller. He will inform the other gamblers of books he’s read on dice setting and hang around the most accomplished player at the table, ready to talk and "pick each others minds".

There’s the student of Frank Scoblete latest craps class. While Frank is the very best there is, his devotee has to do his homework. This player will require 5 minutes to arrange his dice, so practice patience.

My preferred players at the craps table are the undeniable chaps from the good old times. These senior gentlemen are generally patient, generally congenial and will almost always offer tips from the "great old days."

When you take the plunge and decide to join the game, be sure you use appropriate etiquette. Find a place on the rail and put your cash 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 referred to as the final personality I wished to talk of, the jerk.
