Want to learn about craps? May as well learn from Fat Tony! The site's pretty good -- Fat Tony explains all the bets and gives you the odds, so it's pretty easy to tell where the smart money is. He's even got a craps session flowchart!
When I was in Vegas last weekend, craps was by far the most fun game I played. The table looks pretty intimidating at first, but it offers some of the best bets in the casino and is really a lot of fun. You've probably passed by before and wondered why everyone was yelling and jumping around, but it's because there's just nothing better than when it's your turn to roll dem bones!
I love craps; unfortunately, all of the actually decent bets are also the boring bets. I don't think I'm physically able to go through a craps session without betting hard 8 at least once.
Well, minor betting on bad bets won't break you, but hard 8 isn't the way to go since you lose your bet when a soft 8 is rolled (which I didn't know before reading about it).
It seems to me that if you want more excitement, make come bets, back them up with odds, and make place bets on 6s and 8s.
Yep. Bet the line and take the odds. Not boring at all. Never lost $200 so quick in my life. Never won it back so quick either.
