FROM THE BONE MAN
Ladies and Gentlemen…set your bets down. Please
This special message is provided here by THE BONE MAN on behalf of all those frustrateddealers who are sick and tired of having cheques (chips) THROWN at them. Please(pahhhhhleeeeeezzzzz) SET DOWN your PLACE BETS neatly on the COME LINE and clearlyannounce your preferred wager. We dealers have to speak at least 6 languages tojust understand THE OTHER DEALERS… AND another dozen or so to understand THE PLAYERS.So…DON’T MUMBLE. And having cheques rolling around the table is just not our ideaof having FUN. Like…do you think you are COOL or something when you THROW thosebets into our BANK and ROLL them all over the damn table? Like, don’t you REALIZEthat gaming checks are ROUND? Like, how would you like it if the dealers just THREWthem right BACK at you?
Thank you for listening.
CRAPS QUIZ
Here is the answer to the August quiz:
TRUE OR FALSE: Smart Craps Dealers will appreciate players who toke (tip)the dealers by placing a bet on their behalf on the Yo (eleven) or any of the Hardways.
The answer to the September Craps Quiz is mostly FALSE. Though it is TRUE that crapsdealers appreciate any TOKE (tip) either in the form of a HAND IN for good service,or at the end of a good roll, or while the player is cashing out, bets for the dealerson the Yo (eleven) or on any of the Hardways constitute a high house take. A SMARTdealer will appreciate you even more if you bet for the dealers on the Pass Linewith Odds, or on a Place Bet. EVEN BETTER…place a bet for the dealers ON TOP ofyour ODDS once a Point has been established. By placing the dealer bet ON TOP ofyour ODDS you totally eliminate any house take advantage. Many dealers also likeplayers who PARLAY hardway bets even though this is high risk. To do so you shouldbe sure that the dealers tell the Boxman that the bet is to be parlayed. The HardwayParlay for the dealers is placed ON TOP of the player’s bet. At NextShooter.comwe have more detailed information about how to place betsfor the dealers.
September Quiz:
TRUE OR FALSE: Most craps dealers in Nevada are paid minimum or close tominimum wage by the casinos even if they deal multiple games.
