College Gamblers beware!

In both Atlantic City and Las Vegas, it always happens. The craps table is enjoying a hot streak, a bunch of college students or recently graduated comes along and start screwing up the table and upsetting the rest of the gamblers.

Last night, I spent several hours in Atlantic City playing the craps tables and the same scenario kept on happening. After a hot shooter scores a couple of points, a couple of college grads come to the table holding a paltry sum of chips, and they start throwing "seven" when the board is on-point. This happened about 4-5 times in a row! Their reaction, they laughed! They think it's a game, duh! Of course it is, but there were a few veteran players playing and they were damned upset losing several hundred and they left the table. Honestly, I think college-age players not willing to put forth more than a measley $10 minimum bet at the craps table ought to go to table reserved for the 21-25 age bracket.

I understand there is an odd chance of one of those guys go on a shooter streak, but if I see you roll the dice and you got no odds bet backing up your pass-line bet, then I know you are just playing for fun and not caring if you roll a "seven" when the board is on-point.

Really, I may have to take myself from the $10 craps table to the $15. At least it weeds away the wannabe players. I usually stay at $10 tables so I can put more on the board. Grrr, if this keeps up, if a young person comes up to the table and rolls a "seven" during the on-point phase on his/her first roll, I am finding another table.
