Craps Terms – Part Two
Today, we continue our Craps Terms series with more terms. We stopped off at “for the boys” last session. Today, we pick it up with an animal-the Buffalo. Let’s get started.
Buffalo: Okay, it’s not an animal. When you make a buffalo wager, you’re betting on each of the Hardways and Any Seven. If you want to mix it up, you can make a Buffalo-Yo wager, which is all of the Hardways and a Yo (eleven) bet.
Buy: When you place a number, you can buy it. When you buy the number, you’re paying a 5% commission for true odds. You’ll rarely see the 5,6,8 or 9 bought. It’s almost always the 4 and 10. Why? Well, when you buy the 4 and 10 you get 2 for 1 odds rather than 9 for 5. Imagine you bought the 4 for $25. Each time the 4 hits, you would be paid $50. Your commission would be $1. The commission is off the bet not the win. Also, the commission is rounded down, as most Craps tables don’t have 25-cent cheques.
C and E: This is an extremely common wager on the come out roll. When you make a C and E wager, you’re betting on Any Craps and Eleven (Yo). It’s a one-roll wager. You can make this bet any time, but most people do it on the come out roll to protect their Pass Line bets.
Charting: If you go to the casinos in Downtown Las Vegas, you’re likely to see a charter. Charting is when you record the action of a table. Usually this is done on a notepad. Why chart a table? Many people who do it believe there are patterns in the dice-not true. Others do it on a person by person basis, because they believe people have certain patterns. If you play online, you can do this easily and without standing out like you would at a real table.
Change Only: IMPORTANT! If you do nothing else, remember this command. When you are at a real Craps table and you throw money down, it plays where it stays unless you say “Change Only.” Many unsuspecting people have thrown their money down expecting change only to see it gobbled up after it lost. Now, if you want the money to be a bet, just don’t say another word or say “Money Plays.” That’s the command for letting the money sit and play. The dealer shouldn’t touch the money.
Cheques: This is the official term for what many call chips. Let’s say you have a $100 cheque and you want a stack of $5 cheques, you would put down your cheque in the Come area and say “Cheque Change.” That’s the dealer’s cue that you don’t want it to play and that you want smaller cheques/chips.
That ends today’s Craps terms session. Next time we’ll pick it up with terms like cocked dice, cold table, coloring up, come out roll and many more.
Another Bingo Bonus–Marriage Proposals!
Playing internet bingo is well known as a great place for single men to meet ladies. Since a large majority of internet bingo players are women the odds are clearly in favor of men. Many a romance has blossomed through internet bingo and lively chat rooms on most bingo websites make it incredibly easy for men to meet and chat with several women. A recent report from the UK where internet bingo is incredible popular tells the story of an online marriage proposal. The happy couple met on a popular UK bingo website and romance took its course between a player known as daddybear1 and chat room host cuckoo2286. Daddybear1 contacted the website manager and asked for permission to make the marriage proposal during a popular game on March 12th.
Daddybear1 obtained permission and the die was cast. Daddybear1 told all his friends so they could join him online and share in the happy moment. Several of his friends logged on to the site to witness the proposal. Daddybear1s proposal read; “I wanted to do this in FreeBingo as this is where I met my partner. Kath Cuckoo Spencer I am asking you if you will do the honours of becoming my wife.” The proposal was nearly thwarted when a full house was called the moment the proposal appeared on the screen. Several roomies were posting excited messages and the proposal disappeared very quickly. The chat monitor Wayne saved the moment and told roomies what had just happened.
The prospective bride kept Daddybear1 in suspense saying, “I need to thinkkk.” A short time later the answer came when cuckoo2286 said; “I thought – and YESSSSSSSSSS.” The future bride said she initially missed the question and others in the chat room encouraged her to say yes. Cuckoo2286 stated, “I did miss the question, just saw someone say “say yes cuckoo lol”, so I did. But it makes no difference, I will say yes.”
There have been other instances of online bingo romances. Mike Hunt, from Norwich met his wife in an internet bingo chat room. Mike tells the story; “We had known each other for months and got on really well. She was divorced and I am a widower so we both enjoyed the company. “Eventually, we exchanged email details and finally got the courage up to send each other pictures. I thought she was beautiful and seven months later we both decided to tie the knot. So far, things have been great and we both still love our bingo together.” In addition to the possibility of romance internet bingo offers entertainment and great prizes and jackpots. Bingo sites are going all out and offer players huge bingo bonuses in addition to other player perks. Players can take advantage of a bingo sign up bonus and can double or even triple their initial deposit. Internet bingo has a lot to offer players and romance is frosting on the cake!
