Whitefish Salad: High Rollers Love This Magic Mush

We know when most high-rollers spend an 18-hour day at the Taj they get pretty hungry. Most people would assume that these dapper gents take their winnings and head over to Morton’s for a nice filet mignon. But that is not the case. According to reports from a craps dealer at the Taj, surprising as it may be, most high rollers bring their own sustenance and steer clear of restaurants all together. The real players, like Frank Scoblete, author of Forever Craps, maintain their high energy and focus by eating whitefish salad—sometimes up to two pounds of it during real high energy rolls. So, the next time you’re hanging around the craps table, check for the Tupperware container full of whitefish salad. Sometimes players hide it in a fanny pack because they’re embarrassed by it. And don’t ever ask them about it. It’s bad luck.
Craps For Retards
READ MORE: Craps, Table Games
We know it’s hard to try and learn all those Vegas table games, which is why you’ve been avoiding the craps tables for all these years. There are just way too many ways to bet, so why bother? Thank god for the Eldorado Hotel Casino in Reno, they’ll find a way to make it simple:
The game is essentially a simplified game of craps, based on the ‘pass line’ bet and played at a smaller, blackjack-style table with a single die.
The die is rolled in a cup, and like craps, players get to take turns. This will encourage the camaraderie of a craps game because when the right number is rolled, everyone betting wins…
How about this? Learn to play craps, or go back to putting nickels in a machine. We need those tables for single-deck blackjack.

Vegas Blogging: Joe Speaker Can’t Help The Craps
READ MORE: Craps, Las Vegas, poker bloggers
If there’s anything more fun in Vegas than winning at the Craps tables, we demand you tell us what it is instantly. Friend-to-Oddjack Joe Speaker just came back from a Vegas weekend, where he tore it up with the dice. The point is eight, your toss Mr. Speaker:
I am an artist with the dice. My throws flutter like clouds, with the form and action of a Jamaal Wilkes jumper. All silk, no effort. Naturally, after hitting my second or third point, the suits start to get anxious. “All the way down, sir.” Hah. I continue to rain numbers, soft kisses on the back wall. Pay the line. Then the comedians come out.
“These are the lightest dice we have, sir.”
“Would you like to hit from the ladies’ tees?”
Trying to unnerve me. Nice try. In for $100. Out for $225.
We’ve had the pleasure of playing Craps with Joe, but in our session we all ran through a hundy in record time. Maybe next time. For now, click in to read about the rest of a lost weekend.

Crapitude Adjustment With Frank Scoblete
READ MORE: Craps, Frank Scoblete
Casino City Times craptastic guru Frank Scoblete offers this weeks craps tip:
Against random rollers at craps all bets have a house edge. The more you bet, the more the house takes. If a shooter just hit a 6, increasing your bet on the 6 does not increase your chances of hitting that 6 again. The house edge of 1.52 percent will work on the money you have up there. Unfortunately, there is no way around this. So bet small on random rollers and large on controlled shooters. That is the best advice I can give you. The second best advice is to use the 5-Count at all times when you play. These are covered in my book Forever Craps.
Coincidentally, Forever Craps was also the name of a horse we once owned that was born with an oversized colon.
