Has anyone watched youtube videos from the account clunkmess? He has a couple of live craps videos that he filmed in casinos of real craps games in action. It's really awesome if anyone has a craps itch they can't scratch, I know I watch his videos when I wish I was on the craps table. Here is an example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFttbRftpeo&feature=c4-overview&list=UULRICoHn1yuXPJe8WwiLTjg

I'm not clunkmess or affiliated with him, I'm just trying to share his videos with those who don't know about them.

Just curious, not knocking anybody's likes or dislikes. But am I the only one who finds craps to be properly named.

BORING SHIT !

He has another video on there (which I probably should have posted instead) of a guy rolling for about 15 minutes. It was great shooting.

Long ago I had a ton of $50 match plays, each coupon was good on a specific table game BJ, Baccarat, caps . I learn to disliked craps the most, mainly because it was time consuming. It can get boring

To each their own. However this is one reason why I love craps. Nothing angers me more than going to a blackjack table and losing 4 or 5 hands in a matter of minutes.

Now the term "gambling" often means "playing slots" but there was a time when Craps was the only game in town and a traveling salesman asked "Have you seen Skinny Dugan" when he wanted to be steered to some floating craps game.

The thing I dislike about craps is your bet usually
isn't resolved after one throw. I hate that.

I'm interested in finding out how he managed to shoot this. My guess is he had a camera in his hat. It's unlikely he could stand there with a hand held cell phone doing this unless they have no restrictions on shooting with a hand held cell phone camera. I also doubt he could get away with holding a cell phone so long at the table. I only watched the first few minutes and I will have to come back to watch the rest.

So far I see no reason to keep watching except to find out how this guy managed to shoot the video.

In the 1950's I used to offer protection for players, so I do know how popular craps was. But now it is a relic of the past. Not even Lou Costello can make it entertaining now for 99% of casino patrons.

Not judging, just stating a fact.

He has other videos with the same filming style. In another one of his videos at the very end I think I heard a lady come up to him and say "How you doin'?" then the video ends. Must have been and employee busting him haha.

Yes, I have watched them. C'mon, you're just trying to get that video up to 15K views so he will post his latest video, aren't you? ;>)
I enjoy watching them. I think he uses a cell phone to record, but I am not certain. A little surprised he wasn't shoo-ed away early in the game. It does, as you say, scratch a little itch. It's also fun to see how some of the people bet, and what I do differently.

Haha you got me. This is a main reason but I am new to the forums and I love his craps videos and thought other people would love to watch as well. I believe he said he uses his phone to record.

He has two stocky friends stand at the table and he is their friend standing behind them and somehow shooting between them with a hand held camera that is rarely steady. I think there is video of him being shooed out by someone who recognized him once.

I can go down to my local urban casino and see ridiculous action on craps at all hours of the day. Black action, greens, even some purple and orange at times.

I've placed a few $15 and $25 pass line bets. Too rich for my blood.

He has four videos. There are a few more on the YouTube by others. They are all pretty interesting.

I haven't gone back to watch any more but if it is just a video of routine play at a craps table I am not interested. If it were video of a controlled shooter or something remarkable (like boxcars hitting twenty times in a row, or a yo hitting 36 times in a row) then I would be interested. I've already seen yo hitting 18 times in a row, so the video will have to top that. LOL

It gets me that he labels it the "Don't Pass Bar" instead of "Don't Pass Line".

When I was teaching my family and friends craps, they always called it that and I would correct them saying that it's the Don't Pass Line, Bar 12, meaning that you don't win when a 12 is rolled.

Question for those of you who have gambled in Reno. Since a 2 is a push instead of the 12 on the Don't Pass, I assume that the table layout reads Don't Pass Bar (Snake eyes)?

Hi. I think we already decided that was in your dreams or something like that. Up to you of course. Like sporting events, craps is boring without any real cash action on the game. I can't get interested in football any longer. To digress, a wager on a major tennis match is more exciting than a wager on an NFL game.

Yes, Reno layouts are different. Beware when using mail order to recover a home craps table.

Incorrect nomenclature on the Don't Pass (Bar 12) is the sign of a foolish author, yet some books will use it. Some idiot players too.

O personally love craps & used to play with son & I on a table & we always done well. It is the adrenaline that keeps me goin back. I have not played much in 6 months & the last 3 at all. I do play online a but but thats not the same. Son for no apparent reason became estranged from me in March so I don't like going to the table alone I look stupid as a female going to the craps table & playin like a pro & teaching others. Many Men guve me dirty looks & make me feel uncomfortable so I dont play anymore. I love the game & can roll like no tomorrow . So thanks for the video I enjoyed.
PS Son is a regular on here so.. I wil leave it at that.
Just Me.......

reaches some odd chances in a Septillion , 10^24

doesnt mean it didnt happen. But usually for these kinds of claims documentation is in order, or I would prefer the person to say it was just way out there.
