Players at a Craps Game
by Larry on January 25th, 2026
If you are on the hunt for thrills, noise and more entertainment than you can stand, then craps is the only game to bet on.
Craps is a quick-paced game with whales, budget gamblers, and everybody in the middle. If you’re a people-watcher this is one game that you will like to observe. There is the high-roller, gambling with a large amount of money and making loud proclamations when she wagers across the board, "Five Hundred and Twenty across," you will hear the whale say. She’s the player to watch at this game and they know it. The whale will either win big-time or lose big-time and there is no in the middle.
There’s the low-roller, possibly trying to acquaint themselves with the whales. they will inform the other players of books he’s read on dice setting and bum around the most accomplished tosser at the table, all set to talk and "share ideas and thoughts".
There’s the devotee of Frank Scoblete most recent craps class. Even though Frank is the best there is, his disciple needs to do his homework. This player will take 5 mins to setup his dice, so practice patience.
My favorite people at the table are the undeniable gents from the good old times. These elderly gentlemen are generally patient, generally congenial and will almost always share tips from the "good ole days."
When you take the chance and make a choice to join the game, be sure you use appropriate etiquette. Find a position on the rail and place your money on the table in front of you in the "come" area. Refrain from doing this when the pair of dice are in motion or you will become known as the very last character I wished to mention, the jerk.
