Let's continue our discussion of money management. To me, money management is a way to control your bankroll in order to ensure that you don't run out of money, that you don't lose more than you can afford, and that you get more fun from a visit to a casino by minimizing money-related stress.

Craps A to Z - "L" is for Lay

© 2002 by Larry Edell A lay bet has always held a certain amount of fascination for most Crapshooters, because it is so good that the house makes you pay an extra charge just to use it! You are charged a "vig" of 5% of the winnings whenever you lay the 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10...read more
