If you are looking for excitement, noise and more entertainment than you can likely bear, then craps is simply the game to enjoy.

Craps is a fast-paced game with high-rollers, budget gamblers, and everybody in the middle. If you’re a people-watcher this is one game that you will like to watch. There is the whale, playing with a big amount of cash and making loud announcements when she wagers across the board, "$520 across," you’ll hear him say. She’s the gambler to watch at this game and they know it. The whale will either win big or lose big-time and there is no in between.

There’s the budget gambler, possibly trying to acquaint himself with the whales. He will let the other players of books he’s read up on, on dice setting and converge on the hottest player at the craps table, prepared to confer and "share ideas and thoughts".

There is the student of Frank Scoblete latest craps workshop. Despite the fact that Frank is the best there is, his disciple will have to do his homework. This player will require five minutes to arrange his dice, so practice patience.

My preferred players at the table are the real chaps from the good old days. These elderly guys are generally patient, mostly congenial and will almost always give advice from the "good ole days."

When you take the plunge and decide to participate in the game, be sure you use proper etiquette. Find a spot on the rail and put your cash down in front of you in the "come" area. Never ever do this when the dice are moving or you’ll be known as the final character I wanted to mention, the jerk.
