If you are wanting thrills, noise and more enjoyment than you might be able to endure, then craps is simply the game to play.

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 will love to watch. There’s the whale, buying in with a large amount of money and making boisterous declarations when he bets across the board, "Five Hundred and Twenty across," you’ll hear the whale say. She’s the player to observe at this table and they know it. The whale will either win big-time or lose big and there’s no in between.

There’s the low-roller, most likely trying to acquaint himself with the whales. he/she will tell the other players of books he’s read through on dice tossing and converge on the hottest shooter at the craps table, all set to talk and "pick each others minds".

There’s the disciple of Frank Scoblete latest craps workshop. Even though Frank is the very best there is, his student has to do his homework. This player will require five minutes to set his dice, so practice understanding.

My preferred people at the table are the real chaps from the old days. These experienced gents are usually composed, mostly congenial and most likely will always offer advice from the "good old days."

When you take the plunge and make a choice to participate in the game, be sure you use proper etiquette. Find a position on the rail and put your money down in front of you in the "come" spot. Never do this when the pair of dice are moving or you will quickly be known as the last character I wished to mention, the jerk.
