Play Craps
One thing to learn when you are going to play craps is how to hold
and how to throw the dice. Get out a pair of dice and hold them in your
hands. Do that now and then come back here and continue reading (if you
don't have a pair, I suggest picking one up from the drugstore or casino
next time you go). Put the two fives on top with the 1s pointing to
the left. Now look on the inside faces - open up the two fives. What
do you see? A six on the left die and a one on the right die - the seven.
Now look at the two outside faces - the left face and the right face.
You see the other 1 and the other six - another seven. In setting the
dice in this way, we are putting two of the sevens out of the way -
one on the inside and one on the outside. I know, I know, they may not
stay there as the dice fly through the air, but as you learn to control
the dice and keep them more or less together through their orbit, the
chances of these two sevens coming up are minimized. Not eliminated,
but minimized. |
