Well lads and ladies just thought l would contribute to the forum instead of using it to find out things for once.

After getting knocked out of the £1000 at The Vic the other night l was on my way out when l noticed one of the lads from Notts. who also had been knocked out leaning over the CRAPS table, not playing but watching. I joined him and stood there for about 45 minutes watching as the regulars played this unusual game. It is a game l have been keen to learn, as it seems as though it is not really expensive to have a go.

After watching l had a go and even got an opportunity to throw the DICE. It was class, and although l lost £30 it was the best game l have played in a Casino. Just don't throw a SEVEN unless your on THE DO NOT PASS LINE. It will probably take me another 50 times before l learn the whole game but its something l will be playing in future. Great Fun.

Let me know your thought on the game please.

Sometimes its just about having some fun. You don't always have to worry about EV

yeah it is....still a complete waste of money though and could cost you a LOT of money.

It's a game that appeals to me, but only playing in the US.  I love the idea of it being almost a team game with eveyone on the same side and giving the old high fives   It looks great fun when they do it.

Can't see the UK craps players doing such things - or having a cheap table to play on either!

If you have a good crowd or a good stickman you tend to get a decent craps game, Its a game where you dont mind losing the money if you are enjoying yourself.

lol that's true...I have seen people shouting at the screens at the bookies for horses to win simply because the guy standing next to them had bet on something else..even when they themselves had nothing on the race. (people who do that to me get punched in the gob)

For me the name of the game CRAPS is self explanatory.

i love playing it in vegas,  was up about $200 this time playing it but
never played it in england cos casinos don't tend to like you cheering and
high fives and all the malarkey

Great fun game but limit yourself

I can't stand that.  It happens so much in Britain.  We hate the success of others and celebrate their decline.  In America success is celebrated.

Yep its the worst part of the British psyche. Americans are proud of success, we knock it.

yeah..it's a nasty thing...essentially it's all jealousy..justabout the nastiest trait someone can have IMO.

i played it in vegas last year. i had no idea what i was doing and wouldnt have a clue if i played it again.

i was just watching some americans play and the one guy said "do you wanna join in buddy" i said no thanks as i did not know what to do. he said no probs he would show me.

the bets were $10 min within about an hour they put the bets up to $25 and not so long after $100. i had won about $1400. i even won on the firebet the 250/1 jobbie.

it was one of my best moments in vegas, i had a great time playing it and won aswell.

Most boring game ever invented. Ever.

I spent far too many hours in Vegas watching people playing, something I will not be doing next time round!

And of course as I documented at the time TJ Cloutier has won a fortune playing poker but has lost it all mainly on the craps table and is now permanently skint.
