You observe a craps table with a few available positions. Which spot should you occupy? That is a matter of personal desire. Is there a captivating man or lady gambling alone at one end of the craps table? Which players are using cigarettes? Which appear careless? Who appear inebriated or obnoxious? Choose a position where you’ll feel the most comfortable.
I like betting on the end, right beside to the dealer. On the end, I do not have to worry about folks on both sides of me. I do not like betting beside to the stickman because I always seem to get in the way of them trying to get the dice or angling the stick.
After playing for a bit, you’ll get a sense for your preferred seat. You do not have a pick when it is busy. If you get an awful location (e.g., an appalling person is beside you), just move to an additional free spot. If the craps table is full, wait until somebody leaves and take their position. Be aware of a player "coloring up," which is an indication that she’s leaving, and tell the croupier that you would like to take over her seat. The croupier will then reserve that spot and not allow a new individual to rapidly take the spot. The croupier will gently ask the new competitor to move to the spot that you leave. Naturally, when you change locations, don’t leave your your chips.
People next to you can affect your mood and entire competing experience. They can make it exciting or horrifying. You could get stuck next to a smoking heavyset guy with horrid body smell, or it could be a bevy of drunk hotties spilling out of their halter tops. So, choose your spot wisely.
