That's why I am know as a gentleman gambler.
Shed not for her
the bitter tear
Nor give the heart
to vain regret
Tis but the casket
that lies here,
The gem that filled it
Sparkles yet

Quote: thecesspitWishing bad luck on another player directly is bad etiquette, or rubbing in the face your winning is bad etiquette. The actual act of betting, not so much, not in my book. The don't player maybe anti-social and heading away from the 'wisdom of the crowd' in the craps pit, but it's not bad etiquette to bet on the don't, no more than betting on the 0, or the black when someone is on the red.
That "bad" etiquette includes all the pointing, hissing, pissing and moaning when a don't bettor bets or, heaven forfend, throws the dice. But we never hear about that "bad" etiquette, because it is accepted and even applauded.

Very true. That's more rude than actually making taking an opinion and making a bet that the casino offers...
"Then you can admire the real gambler, who has neither eaten, slept, thought nor lived, he has so smarted under the scourge of his martingale, so suffered on the rack of his desire for a coup at trente-et-quarante" - Honore de Balzac, 1829
