While we will play a little blackjack, the lion's share of the time will be at the CRAPs Tables.

I'm wondering if you are being ingenuous or not.

Craps is a dice game.

Double or more Odds craps allows you to place bets and be paid true odds. Not many games in Vegas allow you to do that. Craps rock.

And the perceived complexity of the game keeps a lot of the noobs away from the table. And it can become a true team gamble, where everyone could be cheering a particular roll. IMO, that's what makes it really fun. There is nothing like a hot crap table. But i guess we should get this back on topic before we're accused of spamming.

Just in case you have over looked it, there are no professional craps players. This tells you it is a losing bet. There are lots of pro blackjack and poker players.

It is correct that you want to get correct odds to get the edge reduced.

I've met many professional craps players while in Vegas. Just because you're ignorant of them is no excuse to crap on Craps.

Craps offer you the best odds in Vegas. (unless you're playing poker without the house taking it's share of every pot)

You have met many people that are delusional. There are no known professional crap players. Spending lots of time playing craps is not the same thing. Filing tax returns listing that as your occupationion and showing a positive cash flow for at least a year would make you a pro.

Go to the gambler book club and check around for any names of pro crap players. What you find are people trying to make a living by trelling you how to beat craps. They are not beating the club, they are conmen.

You mean Dolph & Vito's Excellent Adventures?

I'm pretty sure some of us were calling you lord of the ferrets or something similar before then.

Rah is correct of course.

craps does have the best odds. I have tried to learn, but I still can never remember all the bets. The best way to learn is to have someone teach you while an actual game is going on. Just reading the rules doesn't help much.

Some casinos do offer training on games on certain days- usually sundays. I seen this at a local casino (sunset station) once. I have never attended though.

so don't ask me about craps, I don't know.
