hi this is my Chapel forward with the
wizard of oz . com website and i'm here
with the lovely Angela lineman and
dealer down Lubin and the topic of this
video is craps all about the rules of
the game
so do you have any questions to start me
out i do i'm really excited about this
one
every time I walk by a craft table it
looks really fun but I'm so intimidated
I don't know how to start
I don't even know how to approach the
table well that's a good question first
what you do is help get your money ready
you can approach the table in any time
but you have to wait for the dice to be
in the middle of the table
that's what you should do to wait to buy
your chip so let Dan explain that one
ok when you approach the table you
approach the table looking for an empty
spot you can just stand there now if the
dice are in the center of the table
you may put your money into the cum area
of the layout and then say change please
and the deal would like to give you
change or if the dice are moving out he
will say change after the role now one
important aspect of crap game protocol
is when the dice are out of the center
basically you take your hands away from
in the inside of the tub area
you don't want the dice to it you
especially in a 7 out which causes of
losing effect for
some players and the other thing is that
you should not put late beds in when the
dice around because the dealer's cannot
go into the tub and set them up
so what you do is you wait until the
dicer in the center to either get change
or either to make one of the many bets
once the dicer out and put your hands
out of the tub and you just watch the
dyson wait for the outcome of the dice
to occur
ok change please ok change only the base
deal will bring it into the center in
the Box man with counted or if the box
was not present at the table
the deal will count it and he will see
one hundred dollars and he will announce
change 100 sometimes saying one small if
you're buying in with twenties and he
will bring out money for a hundred
dollars he normally brings out the stack
of five dollar ships cold Nichols takes
for the chips off and gives you also a
stack of singles
so you can make prop bets to tip the
cocktail waitress and things like that
then brings it out to you now very
important your money that he just gave
is not supposed to be sitting on the
apron of the layout supposed to be
brought up and put into the chip rack
which is this thing here and any bets
you want to make you can either use the
self service areas such as the pass line
or the field where they come
anything where there are numbers in the
box is the box numbers
you cannot reach into this area this
area is called the cash register and
this area is handled only by the dealers
if you want to place in a four or five
or nine any number that you think is
going to come
and you would put some money into the
company area and you would say i would
like to place the five for ten dollars
or fifteen dollars and the dealer was
sexual
so I'm only supposed to have my chips up
here and if I have drinks or cigarettes
those go on this ledge below the top
here right
exactly exactly the only thing that a
player is supposed to have at his area a
and crafts table is just his money and
chips and that's it
cigarettes cell phone is in the pocket
of your drinks they're all put on a
Ledge underneath the chip rack and you
know if you want to reach it you just
reach underneath but anything on top is
a no-no except for chips
I think we're ready to start talking
about the rules of the game
so the most fundamental bet in craps is
the pass line that almost every player
at the table is going to make this fit
to make this but first you have to wait
for a come-out roll
what and Dan how can the player know
when it is a come-out roll
there is a pipe marker on the crap table
that marks whether or not a point has
been established or if a point is to be
looked for your sword for
by the by the shooter if the puck is on
the offside the black side and is in
this area next to the box numbers in the
in the DC area that don't come area that
means it is the come out what you are
looking for is for number in this range
to be thrown four five six eight nine or
ten and when that numbers on the dealer
will market and that will represent the
past lines winning . number with the
pass line
you are allowed to make a pass line bet
during the come out roll you can even
put a pass line bet run the number is
established however once you make a pass
line bet it must stay there
it can't be brought down you can pick it
up and take it off it is a contract that
let's try this out so we know what to
come out roll because this says off
so Angela make your bed and put it right
here on the pass line if she's the
shooter just think then slide the dice
to the shooter now if the previous hands
of the game had been as seven out five
dice will be brought to the player and
the etiquette on this is one when a new
sugar is ready to select his dice
he or she takes two dice out of the
stick of five and the stickman retrieves
the other three dice and puts it into
the dice bowl at all times you
use only one hand on the dice and you
keep the dice in the top area
you don't use two hands and do not take
the ties and bring it off the table and
keep the dice in the tub area and you
pick them up with one hand and you throw
that was their proper wish mommy just a
lot of up in the air or looking down
toward that wall you have one is allowed
personally I like to love them up in the
air because it's considered a bad luck
if the dice hit chips on the way over
there
of course it's just a myth but I don't
want to make anybody mad so I personally
like to love them in the air and I like
to aim for an area where there is as few
chips as possible and for the dice to be
a valid grow they have to hit the back
wall with the alligator rubber on
I think we're ready to start playing
there's lots of bets on the table and
we're going to talk about them one at a
time
first let's talk about the past bit
