Craps edit
Here are my doubts and questions about Craps, that I love but still don't get completely. All the questions refer almost to the same idea : what is the point of this or that. Many stuff in Craps seems pointless to my eyes, since nobody ever explained to me, so I wish I could understand.
- What is the point of the bigs 6 and 8, since everyone agrees that it sucks and that the buy bets are better !?
- What is the point of the Come or Don't Come bets, for they have the same payout than the pass or don't pass line (even), but take two rolls to be on ?! I mean, it is damn risky to put some money on it, and yet it still only pays even !
- Looking at the size of the tiny bet squares, like the Come point & come odds, and buy, and lay, and loose... I wonder : how do you do when more than one player want to bet on the same bet ?! If there are three guys who did put 10 dollars on the Come square, then the 5 comes out, how will the dealer put all the money on the tiny portion of the 5 square ? And do they use color stuff to identify whose money it is ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.247.10.230 (talk) 23:54, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
- If the Buy bet pays a bit more than the Place bet, but can be performed as well and at the same time... what is the point then of the Place bet ?!
Hi, Hemux - I was reading about craps, and found your page. I've been playing it on computer just to practice and learn (Hoyle Casino, not online) - not an expert but I can answer two questions: The Come line (and don't come) lets you play two or more games at once. You play the come out roll, get a point, then make a come bet and you "get another point", and again and again. Then when each point is made, you get paid, just like a regular game/roll. The table crew keeps track of the bets, that's their job. I would think they put them in the order around the table - "this one's to my left, so the bet is left, that one's to the right, etc." Good Luck Jjdon (talk) 22:37, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hey, Hello Jjdon ! I didn't think anybody would come here ! I checked my message here for many months after giving up. Very nice of you ! Thanks for the answers, though you have to admit there still are some unclear points, right ? Craps is one of the most intriguing casino games, and I have still trouble to understand it fully. Especially the very complicated bets, the ones above, which are Lay and Buy bets. However, I got me chips, dice, markers and a huge craps layout at home so I don't dispair to, one day, teach that game to some friend of mine or my family ! I'll have a look at the site you recommend, here is the one I really recommend to you if you want to practice it for free and in one second of loading : http://casino.bodog.com/ craps, blackjack... I use it only for craps, but always ! Cheers ! 194.60.106.5 (talk) 08:57, 30 June 2009 (UTC) (Hemux)

The one and only page to help me improving my knowledge (and yours !) about the most fabulous sport in the world : User talk:Hemux/baseball questions. Thanks to Leebo & PSzalapski for leading me to this point !
The encyclopedia edit
It sounds like English is not your first language (I think you mentioned something like that), but you could still contribute to the encyclopedia. I guess it would make me feel better knowing you were contributing and not just fielding baseball questions. Sorry if I sound like I'm giving you a hard time. Have you considered joining WikiProject Baseball? Leebo T/C 19:29, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Four tildes (~). Anyway, what were your questions and were they answered? I could not find them on the discussion page. TommyBoy76 22:58, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
