All right, back to the craps terms. Who knew there were this many? All I wanted to do was roll some sevens like they do in the movies! Just kidding. We left off toward the end of the J’s, so we’re going to pick up with Juice.

Juice is one of the most unpopular terms in any casino, and it refers to the house edge, or the amount of commission taken by the casino. It’s lesser-known reference is when Grandma tells Mike McDermott the juice is still running in Rounders. “Grandma, I need your charity like I need a—” Moving on…

Lay Bet: This is a wager that the next time the dice comes out it will hit a point number, and that point number will not be rolled against before a 7 is thrown. I personally like this bet given the odds and return.

Little Joe: Just another way of saying a hard 4, which we all remember as a four obtained by rolling two 2′s.

More shorts: If you bet on midnight, you’re wagering the next roll will be a 12. Not a preferable bet, I can’t see why anyone would take a 12:1 shot when there are so many better options available at the table. OK, outside numbers refers to four numbers – 4, 5, 9 and 10. Place numbers, however, are listed under the Place name on the board, and consist of the outside numbers plus 6 and 8. The point, one of the terms you’ll undoubtedly hear the most at the table, refers to the number thrown after a bet on the come or pass line. And if you press a bet, that means you’re doubling the wager amount currently on the table. You can also take bets like midnight and roll them all into one, which is a proposition bet. This includes all one-roll bets, in addition to the Hardway bet on any number.

If you ever hear anyone telling you mind your area of the rail, or watch the rail, they’re referring to the outer, top area of the table where you and all the other players keep their chips.

In the realm of right and wrong, there’s a bettor for both. The right refers to a player who gambles that the shooter will make the point. Wrong, as you may have guessed, means you’re betting that the dice won’t pass, and the roller will hit a seven first.

Finally, if you toke the dealer, you’re tipping him (not sure why they couldn’t just say tip, but whatever), and the stickman is the guy who annoying screams out YOOOOOOOOOO-Leven, and all the other calls. He also handles the transfer of the dice and some bet placement.

Well that’s about it. Everyone should be up to speed on all the craps lingo. Now go out there and….uh….do something. Can’t quite think of the phrasing right now.
