Craps is your game if you like speed. Craps is your game if you like thrills and excitement. If you're an adrenaline junkie, if you like roller coasters, if you're a daredevil, then this is definitely your kind of game.
Craps has lost some popularity through the years though, because new players don't want to learn the game. It's not a game that a newbie generally feels very comfortable getting started at. My friend Bob says this about the game: "They say that in general, the more rules in a casino game, the better chance the player has to even the odds with the house through insightful play. Craps must have fantastic f*cking odds!" (Bob is also a casino webmaster, and according to him, that's the only craps content he's ever written.)
The craps table layout is intricate, there's lots of jargon, and the game moves fast. This intimidates some people. I'm going to publish enough info on craps here that you won't be intimidated by the game at all. And I don't want you to miss out on the experience of this wonderful game, because no other game in the casino enjoys the kind of thrills and the kind of esprit de corps with the other players as craps does.
Here's tip #1 for craps gambling: stick with the simple bets. Interestingly enough, the simple bets in craps are the ones with the best odds. Tip #2 is to get ready, because the game is fast and the ups and downs are fast and steep. A lot of the bets are just plain terrible, but a few of the bets are really good.
I'll be writing more specific information on craps soon, but for now, the Google Craps Guide and the Yahoo Craps Directory are good sources of craps information.
