Table Craps T: Canada

Bring an amount that you are comfortable to lose. I always make sure that I have enough to pay my bills before I leave for the casino, then I bring an amount that will cover gaming and cash expenses for my trip.

Planning how you'll use your money is next. I like to have at least 2 sessions at the craps table a day. Sometimes I'll gamble in the afternoon and again at night or gamble twice at night. I'll di$y up my money accordingly.

Play only that amount for that session. Don't go into your pocket for more. If you are losing, don't play down to your last dollar. Always leave the table with at least a few dollars. Saving some money from a couple of losing sessions will give you something towards another try at the tables. When winning, always put your starting stake plus a little profit on the side. You can play with what's left. If you continue to win, keep adding to your profit. If you start to lose, walk away when you have nothing left but your profit and starting stake.

Discipline is key here. If you lose, you lose. Don't let anger get the best of you. Don't feel like you have to even the score. You need the ability to walk away from the table whether you're there for 5 minutes of 5 hours. Sometimes you'll win right off the bat, so you put some profit on the side and then the table changes and you start to lose. Now you leave. Be grateful that you won and just leave. Don't feel that because you are there for a short while that you have to continue to play. The tables aren't going anywhere and there's nothing worse than continuing to play and winding up being a loser for that session.

Think about it. When you toss a coin fairly you will get an even number of heads and tails in the long run. Every now and then you will get a run of four or five heads or tails, just by chance. After all, every time you toss there is a 50:50 chance of a head or tail coming down – and this doesn’t change depending on what the tosses before have been. If runs of 4 or 5 heads happen, it means that runs of 10 or even 20 can and will happen. Not very often at all, but they will happen. winning and losing streaks are what you can expect occasionally, just by chance. They do not need to be explained by ESP, magic or superior betting skill.

The object of the game is to throw a 7 or 11, which are winning throws and avoid throwing 2,3 or 12, which are losing throws. The shooter must establish a point number; point numbers are the numbers 4,5,6,8,9 or 10 when one of these numbers is thrown then a point has been established and the shooter plays against this number and if they get point before hitting a seven then they win. Any player can bet on the throw of the dice and can either bet on the shooter or on the house.

Four casino employees overlook a game of craps there is one box man, one stickman and two dealers, Each are responsible for the following

Box man is the craps table supervisor who sits between the stickman and directly behind the thousands of dollars worth of chips that the casino keeps on hand at each craps table.

Dealers: the two dealers at the Craps table are responsible for all the bets made on his half of the table. Whenever you want to make free odds, place, or lay bet in a casino, you should give the money to the dealer at your end of the table and he will make the bet for you.

Stickman: is the casino employee who calls out the dice rolls and returns the dice to the shooter. The stickman also is responsible for the placing and paying of bets.

The speed of the game and the varieties of bets are one of the main attractions to the game of craps.

Just as the come wager resembles the pass line bet, the don't come wager resembles the don't pass line wager. At any point in a game can a don't come wager be made by placing chips on the Don't Come Bar. The next dice roll immediately thereafter serves as the come-out roll for that particular wager. If the come-out roll comes up a 7 or 11, the bet loses. If it comes up a 3, the bet wins. All other numbers rolled are considered point numbers, which if rolled again before rolling a 7 or 11, will cause the don't come wager to lose. (If the point number is established, the dealer will move the wager to the corresponding box number on the craps table) Rolling a 7 or 11 before the point number is hit again, will produce a winning don't come bet.
