Well said. You did everything correct. Wish others would do the same. Of course there is nothing we can do with the chicken feeders as they don’t know what is going on anyway. Thanks for making such a great testimony. Wish everyone would do the same.

Right after Doc took the course many years ago, I walked up to a table and stood there. A GTC person was rolling and another GTC man that I knew said (making a scene as he did this) and I quote "this guy is hot get in and get in now". Like an idiot I threw some money on the table, the game came to a stop, the dealing counted out my chips and pushed them to me. I immediately placed the 6 and 8 and BOOM the very next roll was a 7. Never again. Don’t think this was discussed in class 12 years ago. I made a pack with myself that I would never do to this again and I haven’t. Talk about feeling like a fool. There was not a hole deep enough for me to hide in. Lesson learned here.

Now what do you do when a GTC friend walks up to a table—give him some chips ($100 or so) and you can settle up when you have a break in the game.

Dom and the staff have done so much teaching on etiquette at the craps table is recent years and he has paid off. The class instruction has changed –for the better–if you haven’t taken a class in several years you should do so as it will pay you many dividends over the years of play.

As Nightrider said "PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS." It will pay off in dividends many times over during your journey to becoming the advantage player you will be. Rose and I will play with Nightrider any time.

That is exactly the way to enter a game. You did not affect the flow of the game and the shooter’s rhythm. You protected the landing area by not making PL bets.
I would have made Come bets and maybe placed the point.

The one thing that I can guarantee is this. If you had bought in, in the middle of the roll, and placed a line bet in the landing area, Dom would have left the game. If I had been there, I would have joined him.

Great job Nightrider!

Well said and well done Nightrider! Isn’t it amazing what we all learn if you listen in class! 😀

Just to add another thought. I extend the same courtesy to chicken feeders when I walk up to a table. I won’t buy in when the puck is on or place chips on pass line if the shooter is tossing toward me. It may not matter since they don’t understand the concept of "same landing zone" but it does matter to me that I always practice good etiquette at the tables.

I also have changed my way of bye in . It does not matter if they are DC or not I buy in when there is no point . That is the point not to disturb the roll . I have no idea if this is roll one or 100 when I walk up or who is rolling . I wish I had all that money that I lost when some one did slow down the game with a bye in .
I even say OFF at times when this happens .
Most of the dealers say nothing any more about that since they know that I will bye in when the time is right .
Good Rolling. 😀 🙂

I say off when they take a long time to get the dice back don’t matter if I miss one roll better safe than sorry

I also will not buy in when the puck is on. What I have noticed is too many times the dealer encourage you to buy in when you walk up. I will say to them I don’t want to interrupt the game. Where I am recognized which is many places now that I only get to the tables 3-4 times a year now, they don’t ask me often I will sometime throw my card in and say I’m checking in with X amount. Maybe I get a little more comps.

Whenever the dealer want me to buy in during a point cycle, I always tell them I’ll wait. I’m not letting anyone put the blame on me!

Wait, Dom played in Mississippi? 😮 Glad to hear you made it out of the state okay.

IN a great disguise 😆 😆

Absolutely agree with this. It’s VERY tempting when your spot is open and the shooter to your right is throwing and you have to have action to get the dice. This weekend, we walked up to a table in Vegas, stepped close to rail and just stood there, 3 of us did this. He threw 3 more times before the devil. We bought in and I asked if the dice would go back to him. The stick said nope, they’re yours, I’m not going to penalize you for good etiquette!” THERE IS HOPE!

Even when a point is made, if I buy in, it’ll only be a quick 100 and tell them the total will be x after the shooter is done.
