What Does Prime Rate have to do with Bank Craps?

When the Prime Rate in the U.S. fluctuates by 1/8th to 1/4 of a percent the whole
damn nation goes nuts. Interest rates, time deposits, and damn near every monetary
instrument changes (except mortgage rates which are based on US Treasury Bond yields).

So, my question is…when all you guys and gals are playing craps, why do you continue
to make secondary wagers on bets that have a HIGHER house advantage percentage than
the intitial bet that you already made? The worst offenders are all of you who make
stupid prop. bets thinking that you are protecting something when those prop. bets
constitute the HIGHEST house take advantage on the whole damn table.

Other most visible offenders are those players who GO ACROSS, making Place Bets
on ALL the numbers, thereby throwing away any advantage from the low house edge
on the 6 and 8 and thereby giving away to the house a HIGHER take on the outside
numbers… 5,9,4 and 10.

See our list of all bets to see the house edge for all
the various craps bets.

Is THE BONE MAN Ready to Throw in The Towel?

In a recent interview with THE BONE MAN, NextShooter’s content author and a craps
dealer on the famous Las Vegas Strip, he said that as he approaches age 62 and begins
to qualify for Social Security benefits, he is seriously thinking about quitting
his dice dealing at the casino. (Don’t worry folks, this will give him more time
for NextShooter). Who knows, maybe this now worldly-recognized expert on the game
of craps will actually come out of the closet and identify himself. He also mentioned
that he is now courting a beautiful blonde lady in the Reno-Tahoe area and that
he has also recently had a feeler to work on the development of a new land-based
casino which will soon be built somewhere on the Island of St. Croix. Yes, THE BONE
MAN often works in very mysterious ways so who knows just where he might end up?
In other non-gaming related activities, THE BONE MAN has seen to it that the book
authored by his now-deceased second wife, Elizabeth, is now posted on the Internet
in her memory at TerroristBook.com.

CRAPS QUIZ

Here is the answer to the May quiz:

When one or both of the dice bounce off of the table, any player can request for
“Same Dice.”

Answer: This is a trick question and the answer is TRUE. Any player at the table
can REQUEST for the SAME DICE, but the same dice will only be retrieved and given
to the shooter if THE SHOOTER requests it. And even if the shooter requests SAME
DICE and they can not be found or retrieved in a timely manner, the HOUSE reserves
the right to send out NEW DICE in order for the game to proceed in a timely manner.
Close to 60% of those responding got the answer WRONG… another indication of the
value of reading up about craps at NextShooter.com.
