NextShooter.com NewsletterDecember 2004NEXTSHOOTER ADDS NEW CASINO CREDIT FEATURE
We have added a new feature for players. The new CASINO CREDIT section links directly to land based casino credit application forms for players who wish to establish credit and marker play at their casino of choice. During the month of December we will also be adding a PLAYER CARD section so that gamers can obtain their player cards in advance of planned trips to secure their comps prior to trip departure.
NEW "FIRE BET" GETTING ACTION
THE BONE MAN, author and developer of the NextShooter.com site recently reviewed the table action in Vegas, at Harrah's and at The Rio. It was interesting to see that there was considerable action on the new "FIRE BET" table layouts. The "FIRE BET" is indeed featured at these casinos on ALL tables. It is interesting to note the considerable amount of play on this new wager as the HOUSE ADVANTAGE has been calculated by a most reputable source to be 20.7% making it the absolute WORST bet on the table, topping the already TERRIBLE "ANY SEVEN" (16.67%). In ADDITION... all the FIELD bet pay-offs on these tables have reduced the pay-off on the 12 from 3-to-1 DOWN to 2-to-1 thereby raking even more money in to the HOUSE.
PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONE
As a matter of information, casinos do not allow electronic devices of ANY type at the table games. All you Cell Phone FREAKS are encouraged therefore to either turn your cell phones OFF or POLITELY step away from the game to answer or make personal cell phone calls. The use of a cell phone at the table is just plain RUDE to your fellow players AND to the dealers. Player courtesy at the tables and towards the casino staff can have a dramatic impact on your comps.
CALL BETS
A Call Bet is a bet made by the player, usually at the last second, and usually after the dice have been sent out to the shooter. These bets are usually made by players who are either fishing in their wallet for some cash OR who are having trouble organizing their chips to post up a new wager. Call Bets are usually accepted by the Base Dealers and/or the Boxman (woman) if the wager is clearly announced by the player BEFORE THE DICE LAND and IF THE DEALER ALSO CALLS AND ACCEPTS (BOOKS) THE BET. It is the BASE DEALERS and STICKPESONS responsibility to SEE that the player has the CASH or THE CHIPS to cover the wager as announced OR they will call NO BET. The Boxman (woman) may also call NO BET. It is far better for players NOT to use CALL BETS as they can often lead to disappointment if a winning result hits as a result of the dice and there is a NO BET call by table personnel. Though some craps tables have NO CALL BETS printed on the layout MOST CALL BETS are accepted at the table if the player chips and/or cash is seen and can cover the bet.
CRAPS QUIZ
Here is the answer to the November 2004 quiz:
A one-roll proposition bet that combines 2,3,11,12 and 7 is called:
A World Bet A Whirl Bet
Answer: Both are correct. Most of the time it is referred to as a WORLD BET which is seemingly the most popular, but many players and dealers call it a WHIRL BET. The origins of these terms are unknown.
