ARE BOXMEN (WOMEN) RUINING THE GAME OF CRAPS?

Ever see a table bog down with heavy action and players throwing bets at the dealers,the cheques (chips) rolling all over the damn table and into the dealer banks? Needlessto say this slows your game down and is the fault of the BOXMAN for not asking theplayers to SET DOWN YOUR BETS. Smart players will SET DOWN THEIR BETS and CLEARLYSTATE the nature of the bet. Boxmen NEVER SEEM TO SUGGEST TO PLAYERS to QUIT THROWINGBETS at the dealers. Even a SMART PLAYER might make the SAME SUGGESTION to fellowplayers!
