Like poker, craps is getting harder to beat. The key to beating both games these days is game selection.
I am stunned when I see loads of people I know simply bowl up to the nearest table and go head down.
As someone who has been paid to write articles on dice and coached many newcomers here is my standard advice :-
- Step 2 metres away from the tables and watch them for a few minutes before getting involved.
- Never play on your own.
- Pick a table with a good `vibe'.
- Players on the table must be already winning (check to see people with healthy stacks).
- Players must look happy/semi wealthy.
- The dealers must be in some way friendly.
- Never play on a table with TJ Cookier or Willie.
- If a decent roll builds up but there is a disruption (usually by staff to disrupt thrower), pull off the numbers for that one throw.
- If someone shows they `can throw' do not let them leave the table, and pay them to throw if need be.
- If you are with a `non dice' player, tell them to `do one' or give them money for slots.
- Always have at least 2 more `pull ups' in case the game is juicy but you get unlucky early.
- Always `do one' when the game breaks up.
Also, it sounds like you are a shocking thrower James. If all else fails, then back the dont pass as long as no one knows you at the table.
Who is RoyCropper! You literally couldn't be more right, no-one has been this right since the 1930's when someone pointed out the Germans were getting a "little bit carried away"
Officially the most right anyone has ever been ever
