ARE WE HAVING FUN YET?

How much FUN have you been having lately at the Craps Tables? Certainly, when you are putting down good and hard earned money you should, at a minimum, be getting some good entertainment value for your buck. When you select your casino of choice, you should not only be looking for a deal on FREE ODDS, but you should also be looking for a boxman (woman) and DEALERS who provide a sense of humor and who indicate a sincere attitude toward your being successful and WINNING at the table. If you are playing at a casino with a bunch of STIFF DEALERS be sure to let the floor supervisor or shift manager know how you feel about BAD ATTITUDE.

DO YOUR DEALERS THINK YOU OWE THEM A LIVING?

There is nothing worse than a dealer or dealers who put the Strong Arm on players with the expectation of getting tokes (tips). How in the hell is ANY dealer to know how much you won or lost on other table games, on the slots or how much you won or lost the day or night before you stepped up to the Craps Table? Certainly, as a sophisticated and serious player, you want to reward dealers when they provide good and friendly service. But if you get the Strong Arm you should talk to a floor supervisor or shift manager and let them know what you think about the dealer(s) who were hammering you for tips.

CRAPS QUIZ

Here is the answer to the August 2005 vote/quiz:

A "Hoppin' Hard 10" is basically the same bet, with the same payoffs as a 12 (Midnight)?

The answer to this question is TRUE. ALL "Hoppin' Hardways", 4, 6, 8 and/or 10 pay the SAME as a 12 (Midnight).

It is interesting to note that over 60% of those responding got this answer WRONG. All the more proof that those players who are determined to make STUPID bets in the Proposition Box just continue to throw their money down a rat hole.

September 2005 Quiz:

A "CALL BET" can be made on most tables when:

A. Anytime a player calls the wager before the dice land.

B. Only if the dealer calls "BET" after seeing the cheques (chips) or cash).

C. Only if the dealer calls "BET" after seeing that the cheques (chips) or cash HIT THE TABLE before the dice land.
