Only current, usable English resources are linked here. Overlapping pages are consolidated, obsolete pages are retired, and the free practice game remains unlinked until its files are restored and tested. If you find a broken path or factual problem, use the contact page.
Standard Table Crew: You have listed 5 people. It is not five people. It’s actually 4 people: a boxman, two dealers, and the stick person.
Thank you for your comment, total of 5. The fifth is having a break and they rotate so that each can have a 20 minute break per hour at the craps table. https://www.crapspit.org/craps-table/craps-table-crew/
Have learned a lot from you and my first foray into Craps in Vegas yielded three modest winning sessions out of four, with no major loss. But I have one bone to pick. Any suggestion you can identify a “hot” or a “cold” table in advance obviously succumbs to the Gambler’s Fallacy. That is, even five or ten consecutive seven-outs may only forecast five consecutive 7’s or 11’s on the very next come-out rolls, or vice versa. That must be true because, as you’ve taught us, past results never – – that is, never foretell future results. So all you can do is decide for what duration of time you intend to play and hope, then enjoy whatever occurs. ‘Cause even when you’re on a winning run, it’s always true – – always – – that the very next plays may all be seven-outs.
Hello PhilD! I am glad the site content has been valuable to you. Good luck at the tables and always gamble with what you can afford to lose and enjoy the game of Craps.
