CRAPS QUIZ
Here is the answer to the AUGUST 2004 quiz:
The best place to stand at the table if you are a DON’T player is:
Next to the Stickman (Woman)
Next to a Base Dealer
The best place for a Don’t Player to stand is NEXT TO A BASE DEALER. As the Don’tPass Line wraps all the way around the table and the Don’t Come Box is furthestaway from most players and almost next to either dealer, this is the best placefor Don’t Players to play so that their wagers and pay-offs can be made easily andwithout having to throw or toss them from any other position on the table.
