Wish it were at another time, I would have loved to have gone, but it looks like I'll be shooting craps on a BIG boat. Just watch Joe and Jorj put your money where they put theirs, to begin with. Just remember, they don't want to lose their money either. I love 4's, but they aren't your best bet. Robyn plays the field. That is suppose to be a sucker bet, but she wins more than I do, so who Knows? Just the luck of the roll, can't even chart it. <BG> You'll catch on, and you'll be hooked. No crap tables in Hawaii, are there?

Carolyn, Ok, Ok, I realize I still owe you an explanation on craps. Here is what to remember: 7 is statistically the most likely roll of the dice. It is also what makes you lose once a point is established. 6 & 8 are the second most likely numbers to come up. 5 & 9 4 & 10 3 & 11 2 & 12 The basics: To start the game, the shooter puts a bet on the passline. This is called the "Come Out" roll. If a 2, 3 or 12 is rolled, you lose your line bet. If 7 or 11 is rolled, you win the equivalent of your line bet Either way, the next roll is a come out roll. If a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 is rolled. That is the "point". If the shooter rolls the "point" before a 7 is rolled, everyone that has a line bet wins!!!!! However, the winning is a 1:1 ratio for the bet. This does not correspond to the true odds of the number coming up versus a 7. The casino will allow you to place a second bet behind your line bet, this is called "odds". The casino will pay true odds on this bet and it is usually has a limit of 2 times the line bet (this can vary up to 10 times the line bet). I recommend always placing the maximum odds. If the "point" is 4, 5, 9 or 10, I will place the 6 and the 8 bet (they are the most likely numbers to come up other than 7). These are usually multiples of $6 bets (unless at a $2 table, then they are multiples of $3). The Field A one roll bet that 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 or 12 will be rolled. If one of those numbers does not come up, you lose. Hardways Getting a 4, 6, 8 or 10 the hard way means both die have the same face (2+2=4, 3+3=6 etc...). These bets stand until a non-hardway 4, 6, 8 or 10 is rolled or a 7 is rolled. They pay 10:1 and 8:1 if I remember correctly. That's enough for now. More later
