o Once you learn how
the Odds wager works (another column, another day),
never make a Line or Come bet that you are not willing
to back up with full odds.
o If the table minimum
is way over your head, you shouldn't be on that game.
Bet with your head, not over it.
o If you need help, ask
a dealer. Most will be willing and able to help you.
o You are responsible
to pick up your winnings. As they say, "they
lay, they play."
o A Pass Line bet with
two Come bets is plenty of action on this energetic
game. Don't get so caught up in the game and start
throwing money at the dealer for his "requested
(high house percentage) bets."
o Do not try to hand
cash to the dealer to make change. The dealer is not
allowed to take any cash or chips directly from the
customer. You need to place your money on the layout,
before the shooter gets the dice, and ask the dealer
for "change only."
o Some wagers like Pass/Don't
Pass bets, Odds, Come wagers, the Big 6/8 or Field
bets can be made by you. On the other wagers, place
you money on the layout and ask the dealer to make
those bets for you.
o Keep your hands off
the table and out of the way of the dice being thrown.
You do not want to disrupt the game by altering the
toss with your hands.
o Tables have rails all
the way around for storing your gaming chips. Use
them. Also, underneath, there is shelving for your
drinks.
o If you are the shooter,
give the dice a good toss across the table. Never
try to slide dice across the layout thinking you can
control the outcome. The first time the boxman will
call out, "No roll." The second time, possibly
some token punishment like a slapped wrist. The third-adios
Sally.
o If you are a Don't
Pass bettor, don't scream out, "Come on, seven!"
Betting against the majority of players is bad enough,
but rooting against them and gloating after a win
is awful form.
