Craps Myths – excerpt NextShooter.com
The Casino is there to take your money as fast as it can.
The casino actually offers you an almost-even game with the house, as long as you’resmart enough to make the right bets. Betting the Pass Line and full double oddsmeans your mathematical expectation is to win back 99.4% of what you wager. That’sa far cry from taking your money as fast as possible. Also, while the casino mayhope you lose, the casino employees don’t. The Dealers are rooting for you to winbecause that is the only way that they will get tipped (toked). Dealers are happywhen players are winning. For a dealer there is nothing worse than working all daywatching players making stupid bets and losing their money.
The House changes dealers intentionally to change your luck.
Dealers on the Craps Table are rotated every 20 minutes — 20 on stick, and 20-20on the two base positions. Then a dealer takes a 20 minute break. The only othertime that dealers are changed is on shift changeover, or when a job candidate auditions,or when a break-in dealer is overloaded with action and is replaced by a more tenureddealer in order to keep the game moving.
If the Stickman sends out the dice to a shooter with a 7 showing it is bad luck.
Professional stickpersons just don’t send the dice out on a 7 anyway. However, sometimesthe dice hit chips or tumble unintentionally when being sent to the shooter, sometimesending up on a 7. Most hot-shot players usually pre-set the dice to their preferenceor shake them up anyway. This myth is just based on players not understanding thatthe odds of a 7 being rolled are one out of six no matter how you look at it.
When the dice or a die bounces off the table it is bad luck.
There is no such thing as something causing bad luck, there is just the fact thatthe odds of rolling a 7 are one in six. The biggest complainer about a 7 rollingafter a die has bounced off the table is usually the shooter who couldn’t controlthe dice in the first place, or the shooter who calls SAME DICE and then moans andwhines when his SAME DICE seven-out.

CRAPS QUIZ
Here is the answer to the April quiz:
When a player says “Down with Odds” they mean:
- Give me back the Odds that I have on my Come Bet(s).
- Take down my Place Bet and use what you need for Odds on my new Come Bet.
- They are protesting the Odds and calling for their overthrow.
When a player says “Down with Odds” they mean “Take down my Place Bet and use whatyou need for Odds on my new Come Bet.”
If a player wants to take Odds DOWN off of a COME BET… they would say “Take downmy Odds” (and they would state the number to which they are referring.)
As close to 60% of those responding got the answer WRONG. This is just another indicationof how little players know about the complexities of playing craps, and why youshould make sure to read up about the game at NextShooter.com!
