Best Bets for a Wheelchair-Bound Craps Player

Hi Frank,

Finished your book Casino Craps: Shoot to Win! I learned a great amount of information. Now since I can't throw the dice from a wheel chair, as I tried, I can still place bets.

I go to the casinos at Mt Air Lodge, Pa and Mohegan Sun, Wilkes-Barre, Pa. An hour away. My question is what would be the best two bets to make since these shooter are all random because I see how they throw is nothing like your book's instructions? The dice fly all over the table.

Second question: How do they (dealers) keep track of everybody's bets as the chips are the same for all players such as nickel chips or quarters chips? Especially if you make a place bet or on the 6 or 8 which may not be close by. As you know in roulette everyone has his own color chips.

Thanks,
Jaggy

Dear Jaggy:

Since you have to use Place bets then without question only place the 6 and 8. Those are the two best Place bets in the game.

Dealers keep track of whose betting what not by color, but by positions in the box for that number. Each area of the box represents a position at the table. Your position will have your chips on it. When payout time comes, the dealer knows exactly what you bet and what to pay you.

All the best in and out of the casinos!

Frank
