Craps Secrets
Craps attracts a certain kind of person. Unlike slot machine lovers and sportsbook fanatics, craps players are a somewhat more mysterious breed.
If you watch films and take note of what Hollywood wants you to believe about craps, the table is always surrounded by gorgeous women in skimpy dresses and dapper men à la James Bond, with money flowing directly from the house into the pockets of the players. If only this was reality!
There are a whole host of superstitions about the dice, the table, the dealers, and the players themselves that many craps lovers believe. Some people for example believe that if the dice hit the floor the next roll will be a 7. With so many superstitions at play, the dice shooting rituals of certain players can be very testing indeed.
A Sophisticated Game
Craps players are not known as a calm and collected bunch. In fact, when everyone’s making money at the table they tend to be the loudest group in the casino. That being said, there is a certain air of snobbery around the craps area. Knowing the correct craps lingo is essential for fitting in. Many of the players are also judgmental and quick to remove someone from the table if they break any of the rules of craps etiquette, written or not.
Craps Players
Some bets on the craps table offer quite literally the worst odds in the casino, but that doesn’t stop some “hotshots” from betting fast and hard in an attempt to beat the odds. Craps is one of the games you may want to consider researching before attempting to play in the casino. To do so we recommend you try playing free craps, or craps online.
And remember, when playing craps, no one at the table has your best interests at heart. They want your money. It’s as simple as that. Harsh, but true. So watch your back (and your wallet) and try not to upset your fellow players. Other than that, just have fun!
