Scobe's Quick Tips, Series 2: #3 and #4: Craps' Worst Bets, Does Setting the Dice Slow the Game Down?

Quick Tips #3:

The very worst bets at craps, known as Crazy Crapper bets, have the fanciest names: Big Red (the 7); Snake Eyes (the 2), Boxcars (the 12) and C&E (2, 3, 11, and 12). All have very high house edges.

Gamblers like to make these bets because they pay off big time when won but over time they can hurt a player's bankroll.

Quick Tips #4:

Do people who set the dice slow the game down?

No, they don't.

In a study of 1,000 shooters, Frank Scoblete determined that the single thing that slowed games were dealers who were slow in paying off winning wagers, especially prop bets. This was followed by disputes between players and dealers over calls and payoffs. Finally, the dice leaving the table and the player asking for "same dice" slowed the game to a halt!
