Learn craps terms and lingo in part 1 of 6. written by William Enslen Jr Is it legitimate or a scam? I suspect that the notion of dice control is a big-money industry (perhaps, multi-million dollars annually). But is it real or just an elaborate hoax to swindle you out of your hard-earned money? The answer seems so obvious. written by William Enslen Jr Part 2 of my article about the load of crap that some websites feed you has even sillier claims than those in Part 1. They're hilarious. written by William Enslen Jr As these excerpts show, the Internet is crammed full of ridiculous claims designed for one thing--to get your money. Don't be a sucker. Armed with facts instead of false hope, you'll be a strong weapon against the casino. written by William Enslen Jr In the gaming world, B.S. sells and reality doesn't.

If you base your play on this fallacy, you're doomed to lose your shirt. written by William Enslen Jr I've read a lot of my colleagues' books and articles and, as best I can remember, they all say that failing to set win/loss limits is one of the worst things you can do. I disagree--partially. written by William Enslen Jr If anyone says or writes that he has a consistently "winning" craps system, he's either lying to swindle you or too stupid to know better. No consistently winning craps system exists, has ever existed, or will ever exist. written by William Enslen Jr Have discipline, play smart, and most importantly have fun. Otherwise, you'll ruin your vacation by getting mad because you couldn't beat a game that you were never supposed to beat. written by William Enslen Jr If the casino has such an advantage over the player, why on Earth does anyone play the game? You'll never beat the casino over the long haul, but you can, indeed, beat it in the moments of time when the distribution variance goes your way. written by William Enslen Jr Who invented craps? How did it evolve? written by William Enslen Jr Unfortunately, a craps table is usually full of superstitious people. It's foolish to play along with people's crazy superstitions, but you'll have much more fun at the table if you do. written by William Enslen Jr The dealer tells you to "bridge" your Don't Pass Odds bet? What in the world does that mean? written by William Enslen Jr What are crooked dice? Do you have to worry about playing in a game that uses them? written by William Enslen Jr You see a table with several open positions. Which spot should you take? written by William Enslen Jr You'll often hear the table crew use the word "cheque." What does that mean? written by William Enslen Jr Before making your first bet, you have to get chips. What are the do's and don'ts? written by William Enslen Jr Craps is designed for the player to lose. Accept it. During a losing session when you're down to your last $10 or $20, the worst thing you can do is try to win it all back at once by making a stupid bet. written by William Enslen Jr Ever see a craps table with markings that say "Put Bets Allowed?" Surprisingly, few players know what a Put bet is. Is the Put bet good or bad in terms of the player? written by William Enslen Jr Tipping dealers is an integral part of playing craps. It means you get all the dealers' attention, which makes your playing experience more enjoyable. More importantly, you can reap valuable rewards from tipping the dealers. written by William Enslen Jr Every bet on the craps table (except the Free Odds bet) has a built-in house advantage that no one can beat over time.

How do we calculate it, and can we do anything to transform it to a player advantage? written by William Enslen Jr If you've never played craps, you'll probably be scared crapless (pun intended) of walking up to the table, plopping down your money, and making that first bet. You'll be nervous the first time, but don't let it keep you from playing. Get over your fear. << previous page 1 next page>> |
