Gamblers at a Craps Table

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2026

If you are on the hunt for thrills, noise and more entertainment than you might be able to endure, then craps is the only game to wager on.

Craps is a fast-paced game with high-rollers, low-rollers, and everybody in between. If you’re a people-watcher this is one casino game that you will love to watch. There’s the high roller, gambling with a big amount of cash and making boisterous proclamations when he bets across the board, "Five Hundred and Twenty across," you’ll hear them say. He’s the bettor to observe at this table and they know it. The whale will either win big or lose big and there’s no in between.

There’s the low-roller, possibly attempting to acquaint themselves with the high-roller. He will let the other competitors of books he’s read up on, on dice tossing and converge on the hottest tosser at the craps table, ready to talk and "share ideas and thoughts".

There is the student of Frank Scoblete most recent craps workshop. Despite the fact that Frank is the very best there is, his devotee must do his homework. This guy will require five minutes to arrange his dice, so practice patience.

My preferred people at the craps table are the real chaps from the old days. These senior gents are normally patient, mostly congenial and will almost always give hints from the "good ole days."

When you take the plunge and make a choice to join the game, be certain you use proper etiquette. Locate a position on the rail and put your money down in front of you in the "come" area. Never do this when the dice are moving or you’ll become known as the very last character I wanted to talk about, the jerk.

Wager Large and Gain Small playing Craps

If you choose to use this system you want to have a vast amount of cash and superior discipline to step away when you accrue a tiny win. For the purposes of this essay, a sample buy in of two thousand dollars is used.

The Horn Bet numbers are certainly not looked at as the "winning way to play" and the horn bet itself carries a casino advantage of over 12 %.

All you are playing is $5 on the pass line and ONE number from the horn. It doesn’t matter if it’s a "craps" or "yo" as long as you play it consistently. The Yo is more common with gamblers using this system for obvious reasons.

Buy in for $2,000 when you sit down at the table but only put $5.00 on the passline and $1 on one of the 2, 3, 11, or 12. If it wins, great, if it does not win press to two dollars. If it does not win again, press to $4 and continue on to eight dollars, then to $16 and following that add a one dollar every subsequent wager. Each instance you don’t win, bet the last bet plus an additional dollar.

Using this scheme, if for instance after fifteen tosses, the number you selected (11) hasn’t been thrown, you probably should march away. However, this is what possibly could develop.

On the tenth roll, you have a sum of $126 in the game and the YO at long last hits, you gain three hundred and fifteen dollars with a take of one hundred and eighty nine dollars. Now is a good time to march away as it’s higher than what you entered the table with.

If the YO does not hit until the twentieth roll, you will have a complete wager of $391 and seeing as current wager is at $31, you come away with $465 with your profit of $74.

As you can see, adopting this approach with only a one dollar "press," your gain becomes tinier the more you play on without winning. This is why you have to march away after a win or you should wager a "full press" once again and then carry on with the one dollar mark up with each toss.

Crunch the data at home before you attempt this so you are very adept at when this system becomes a non-winning proposition rather than a profitable one.
