Have you ever wandered into a casino and looked at the craps table. It looks fun, it looks exciting but it also looks really intimidating. On a recent road trip we stayed in the Sands hotel in Reno Nevada. As usual I am an early riser and so headed down to the casino floor around 6 am. As the title suggest I am not really  a gambler but I was really intrigued by the craps table.

Luckily at 6:00 AM there was no one on the table and I approached the craps dealer and asked how difficult it was to learn.  He offered to guide me and so I was willing to plunk down a $20 for this unique experience.  After about 15 minutes I was up  a whole $4.50 and figured that was enough and I could walk away a winner. Which I promptly did.

Afterwards I realized this was  a really fun game and I simply had to know more about it but I don't like learning the hard way and being an Internet junkie I soon found an answer to my quest to learn more about the game of craps.

Sapphire Software makes a craps simulator which I have been trying out in demo mode for the last few days. I have now been able to learn a lot more of the ins and outs of this game and hopefully next time I have an extra $20 and can't sleep I will put my new knowledge to the test. Stay tuned to this blog and I will update how I do.
