In all your collective time playing/dealing craps, have you ever seen a craps table where multiple people, or even a majority or all of the players, are playing Don't Pass?
I was playing the right side.
Worst I had 5 players betting on don't pass, don't come, etc. Which isn't too bad if they are all always betting don't come.....but since the box behind is so small, it's hard to position their bets properly so you know which is whoms. On top of that, not every one always played don't come. So sometimes there's 5 bets behind a number, other times 2 bets or 4 bets. :(
Note: The table was really bouncey; to the point that you could hear that it had no padding and it was like hitting barren wood. Unlike the other 3 tables in the area which had padding, and were crowded as well. We darksiders apparently stuck together and came out ahead. I asked the pit how the action was, and he pretty much said no one can make a point for their life right now. Good enough advice for me.

Many times. If new shooter gets the dice and players notice he is shooting from the dark side, the stick man announces it and most players bet with the shooter.
Which is hilarious, because all us don't bettors know all too well that when we shoot we can be (and often are) as hot as blazes. I've even been offered inducements to keep shooting.lQuote: CrapsGeniousMany times.

I had to take donations to keep shooting once as I had lost my buy-in shooting from the don't, and that buy-in was the last of my roll for the trip. It's pretty simple; either you put up my line bet or I will be forced to pass the dice...
That was the only Vegas trip (so far, knocks on wood) where I lost my trip bankroll.

I've found that most players are either oblivious, or continue betting the pass anyway and get even angrier after a PSO. You saw the "bad juju" and went right side anyway, shut up alerady!

There was a night where the table was COLD for 10+ hours. Out of the 8 people playing 6 were on the don't and not a single number was placed. I watched a guy lose $11,000 in just a few hours. Then around midnight it turned around and I ended up several hundred up. That was by far the longest cold stretch I've ever seen and I've never seen a table with so many experienced players and not a single number placed.
