CRAPS QUIZ

Here is the answer to the August quiz:

On a “SEVEN – WINNER” on the Come Out Roll, the dealers must always hand back thenon-working FREE ODDS on previously positioned COME BETS and place the losing FLATBETS into the HOUSE BANK.

Answer: The answer to the August quiz is FALSE

Dealers do not ALWAYS hand back the Free Odds on Come Bets on a SEVEN on the ComeOut Roll, because some players will buy back all the FLAT bets, thereby leavingall of their wagers, with the ODDS, still in position for the next roll. As morethan 73% of those responding got the answer WRONG, here’s yet another reason toexplore the valuable craps information at NextShooter.com.

September 2003 Quiz:

The first thing that a player should do when approaching the craps table is:

Ask one of the dealers if the table is running hot or cold. Look in the player banksto see if they are filled with gaming cheques. Look at the posted table odds, minimums,and maximums.
