| Get Over Your Fear by William J. Enslen, Jr. |
Be smart, play smart, and learn how to play craps the right way.
You're in the casino, lights are flashing, electronic machines are
chiming, you have a pocketful of money, and your heart races
as the excitement builds. You see the craps tables in the
distance. Your pace quickens. The three people at one table
are quiet; not much action. The 15 people at the other table
are cheering, laughing, clapping, high-fiving, and hugging each
other. You think, "Wow, that table must be hot."
There's one open spot at the end by the fat guy. You think, "I
don’t know if I can squeeze into that spot. I’ll wait for another
one." Before you finish your thought, someone dashes into that
last open position, squeezing in sideways between the fat guy
and the drunk with a cigarette hanging off his lip. You think,
"Oh, man, that guy took my spot. That's okay, I’ll get the next
one."
You stand in the background, jockeying for position to see the
action. You count the number of players on each side of the
table, confirming that no more players can squeeze in. The
shooter is on fire. She rolls number after number. A drunk
yells, "Winner, winner, chicken dinner!" The gorgeous woman
on the other side of the drunk is thrilled and hugging everyone
at that end of the table. The players' chip racks are filling up
with red, green, and black chips. You wait. You watch. No one
leaves. You continue watching. Everyone wins tons of money.
Except you.
What just happened here? Fear. You're new to the game;
you're not sure of what to do; you let fear take control. Not
enough room by the fat guy was just an excuse for not taking
the only open position at a hot table. The result--you lost out
on winning gobs of money.
It's natural, it happens to everyone. If you've never played
craps, you'll probably be scared crapless (pun intended) of
walking up to the table, plopping down your money, and making
that first bet. It feels worse if you have to do it alone without
someone to guide you or give you confidence.
Accept it. You'll be nervous the first time. But don't let it keep
you from playing. After about 10 minutes, your fear will be gone
and you'll laugh and holler with everyone else. Just take a deep
breath, walk up to the table, and get over your fear.
Now you know! Remember, be smart, play smart, and learn
how to play craps the right way.
