I learned craps on a slow day. Dealer said hey come here. I see you watching let me teach you how to play. I bought in for $40 walked away with $400+ after the roll. Dealer pressed me up every other roll 😮 I never played blackjack again. Craps was too much fun!

I rejected it for years cuz I’m a poker player but when I finally played I’ve won every time out of 20 except 3 Times so I learned to keep playing.

I learned right here at this channel. I knew craps existed but I was a slot player. Didnt care for tables. I saw how much fun the craps players were having, left the casino and spent the next month watching ColorUp. I went back to the casino and used what I learned to start my live craps play. I've never looked back. It's been about a year since I started. I netted $26000 in 4 trips the to casino on the table. 11000 of that from 1 trip alone. It can be a very profitable game but honestly....I love the attention and the feeling you get on a hot roll and the whole table is cheering you on.

Fantastic interview. Well done.

Always wanted to watch videos from a dealer's perspective & hear their stories. Good video!

Thanks for part 2.. always great to see you guys... I enjoy both your channels..

I even throw a buck for odds on my number and then ask where they would like the bet ? Most never throw it in the box they always throw it on the table and gamble with u ? They become much More friendly and even give the dice back 5s up or whatever u like to throw them as .

As a relatively new dealer, I can tell you, it can be very overwhelming at first. I understand the entire game of craps, I know all the odds, payouts, literally everything there is to craps, but tapping into the Table for the first time is so scary and it takes a while before you can be good. Most craps dealers will tell you it’ll take 2-3 years before you become a good dice dealer

"Main Street ..gets lots of Hawaiians do the action can be intense.." ROFLMAO. Yes, we LOVE to gamble but the limits are often lower downtown so that mitigates some of it. Been noticing much more activity on the horn bets on center strip tables which just slows the heck out of the game which would irritate me personally if I had to deal it.

Time doesn’t matter on a roll. The amounts of rolls is the deal. I’ve seen hour long rolls that were only 20 rolls in between 7’s I’ve seen 15 minute rolls that rolled 40 rolls no 7 It’s the stupid center bets that slow the game. Ignore the time it’s irrelevant count rolls.

Lol exactly why are you even playing if you don't believe in it. I had a $5 40 to 1 prop on 2 aces and midnight. I came out on 8. Set aces rolled 9. Set aces roll. Rolled aces. Set aces rolled aces. Hit aces prop for $200. Placed horn high twelve. Hit 12. $57. Set 12. Going for $200 prop. 43. Seven out. I hit my numbers 3 times in a row. I hit aces prior 2 out of 4 rolls. That's not an accident. I can hit aces 5X more often than you when I'm trying to and setting it. On 360 rolls a random shooters will hit aces an average of 10 times. If I set it I can hit it 50 times in 360 rolls. I only play the aces and midnight prop because you only have to hit it twice. And I'm confident I can roll it consistently. Otherwise I set hardways and i roll more hardways than random shooters. And parlay everything. A lady rolled for an hour and a half setting a flying V which is meant to hit hard 6. Easy 6. Hard 8. Easy 8. In that 90 minutes she rolled like 5 points but hit about 12 6's and 8 8's along with a bunch of other number and craps, yo's. I have seen the difference in dice setting versus not. Dice setters are more consistent. The most points I have seen after 6 months is 10 points by a random shooter. and second most was 8 by a random shooter. But they hit numbers almost immediately. Didn't get to press much at all on place bets. 10 point guy only rolled for 75 minutes. 5 point lady rolling flying rolled for 90 minutes. 8 point guy less than 45. He hit his number within 4 rolls I think 6 of the times. Almost immediate. But dice setters are way more consistent. if you don't believe in dice setting you should watch me shoot or you shouldnt be playing at all. The reason a lot of dice players play is it is the only casino game other than poker you actually get to control the outcome or get to touch the instrument that controls the game. They don't let you soon the ball in roullete or dealbthe cards at table games. But dice you get to play the game and control the object that's why it's so fun. If it was the dealers shooting and you just place bets I would never play it in a million years

I would like to do a practice table and do 360 rolls each. See how many times we hit aces and midnight. And show you the difference. And also my mistakes when I set aces are often good. I set aces hard dice. So some of the mistakes are not mistakes are they flip over and hit 12. Or sometimes it hits ace deuce. Or 2+2. 4 hard which I have covered the hardways. Or 5+5. 10 hard I have covered. Or yo eleven. But he mistakes are why I bet usually horn high aces or horn high midnight because the "mistakes" of ace duece or yo pay. And midnight pays. And if it's hard 4 or hard 10 I have that as well. The bad outcomes are of course 5+2 and 6+1 which are at risk. And then 43 if the dice explode off each other. And off axis. A 43 setting hardways horn dice is the worst. Just like a 61 is the worst when you set hardways dice. It means they went off axis completely opposite ways. Practice setting dice and trying to roll exact numbers. Once you start to roll exactly what you are trying to you will realize that it's a game of skill. There is luck involved but the biggest winners over decades of play are skill based players. The dominator a famous dice player banned from playing because of his dice control says tell the casinos that dice influencing isn't real so he can play again. It is real. He made.millioms before they decided they didn't want his action anymore

Color Up for example you have a $150 6. There are 25, $6 units. You can sit there and figure the 7:6 math. Or the way I teach people is $150 is 6 green chips. So 6 green chips, gets 7 green ships. This way of thinking is also why you won’t see some newer dealer converting stack of reds into greens, or stakes of greens to black, etc. Every craps class I’ve seen taught usually has at least 2, if not 3 teachers. There is usually a math person, and a colors/units person. So you can find a way that your brain works best.
