Enthusiasts at a Craps Table

If you are wanting thrills, noise and more fun than you might be able to stand, then craps is the only game to take part in.
Craps is a quick-paced gambling game with whales, low-rollers, and everyone in the middle. If you are a people-watcher this is one game that you’ll love to observe. There is the whale, playing with a large bank roll and making boisterous declarations when she wagers across the board, "Five Hundred and Twenty across," you’ll hear her say. He’s the player to watch at this table and they know it. The whale will either win big-time or lose big and there’s no in the middle.
There is the low-roller, most likely trying to acquaint himself with the high-roller. He will inform the other competitors of books he’s read on dice throwing and hang around the most accomplished shooter at the table, prepared to confer and "pick each others minds".
There’s the devotee of Frank Scoblete latest craps workshop. Even though Frank is the best there is, his devotee must do his homework. This guy will require 5 minutes to arrange his dice, so practice understanding.
My favorite players at the table are the undeniable chaps from the old days. These experienced gents are usually tolerant, generally generous and will very likely always give tips from the "great ole days."
When you take the plunge and decide to participate in the game, be sure you use good etiquette. Find a position on the rail and lay your cash on the table in front of you in the "come" area. Refrain from doing this when the pair of dice are in motion or you will quickly be referred to as the final personality I wanted to mention, the jerk.
