General Discussion/Question Asking for quick etiquette tip

11 Upvotes

Hi! Just wanted to ask the dealers on here a question. I know people will often place a bet for the dealers at certain points throughout their session. My question is what bet do the dealers like to see placed for them? I saw a guy put an extra dollar on each of the a-t-s for the dealers, but to me, that seems like such a long shot that it more than likely won't hit the dealer's pocket. (I guess that applies to many bets on the table). Do the dealers have a favorite bet? Thanks.

Went out to Harrah’s Ione to try and catch a hot roll on the $5 table.
California Card Craps. Low rolling.

Bought in for $200 and the table quickly reminded me that even at $5 if it’s cold and you can’t get past a few numbers, any minimum amount will dry up your rack.

2 others on the half table.
Going $26 across $5 pass and 2x odds when they are shooting.
2 units across , full odds when I’m shooting.
Double up and regress to house money.
Just couldn’t get it going.
They left and I rolled alone 2-3 times.

Two cool cats walked up, Father and son that I had rolled with Friday during that killer 47 roll.
AMAZING energy love having them around BUT they are notorious late bettors and it’s a peeve when I’m rolling.
Still glad to have them around I let them roll and we just go up and down with min bet across. Min betting is hard because you’re really looking for repeaters but we couldn’t get any.

Back to me and I have an empty rack. Throw in another $100 and I proceed to go on a decent roll. I got about 4-5 numbers on the ATS but then hit a 7 on a come out. No problem work it up again. 4-5 numbers on the ATS. Hit my point then a come out 7 wipes the ATS again. Better now than when working.

Go for it again and just needed the 6 for the smalls. Moved my $12 place bet for the dealers “making a hole” and hit it right after. Now with just the 8,12 for the make em all. And Another come out 7.
(At one point the dealers 6 place bet was heavier than players at the table including myself because they just kept full pressing)
Ok we are making money the hard way. Have another decent run of numbers but not getting too far on the ATS. Aaand 7 out.

Did I learn my lesson about a cold table after a hot roll?
Nahhh, went heavy on the next 2 shooters. About 2 numbers each but I wasn’t regressing like a dummy. Lost like $160ish

Colored up at $425

Where are they at these days? Strip adjacent?

Ellis Island had been my go to in the past. I have a 4 newbies coming with and want to teach them without breaking the bank. Would love real tables with real dealers and traditional not crapless.

Thanks all I know this gets asked a lot.
