You notice a craps table with a couple of available seats. Which position should you occupy? That is a matter of individual preference. Is there a captivating man or lady betting by themselves at one end of the table? Which individuals are smoking? Which look apathetic? Who appear drunk or annoying? Choose a spot where you will feel the most at ease.
I prefer gambling on the end, directly next to the croupier. On the end, I do not have to worry about folks on both sides of me. I don’t prefer wagering next to the stickman because I always seem to get in the way of them reaching for the dice or maneuvering the stick.
After betting for a bit, you’ll get a taste for your favored seat. You don’t have a pick when it is crowded. If you end up in a lousy location (e.g., an obnoxious guy is beside you), simply switch to a further free location. If the craps table is filled, hang out until a person walks away and take their spot. Be aware of a player "coloring up," which is an indication that she is leaving, and tell the croupier that you want to take over her spot. The croupier will then hold that location and not allow a new player to quickly take the spot. The dealer will politely request the new candidate to switch to the spot that you vacate. Clearly, when you change locations, don’t leave your your chips.
Gamblers near you can have an affect on your mood and entire wagering experience. They can make it exciting or miserable. You might get trapped next to a chain-smoking fat player with awful body smell, or it might be a group of drunk babes busting out of their halter tops. So, choose your spot wisely.
