Stopped here while driving down I-80 recently. They had two craps games open - $5, 100x, $10,000 max. I don't know if Sunday mornings are big crap-shooting times, but you would have thought it was the Wynn on a Friday night. HUGE action; massive green chips along the rail; people putting every number for $100 and pressing $100 every hit; $280 across. I was shocked. I played for a little bit and a guy in a cowboy hat got on a fairly decent roll. This is probably what the old Binion's game used to be like.

Were most players taking small line bets and large odds positions, or were most players maxing at 3/4/5?

Was the $10k max a combined total per player? I ask, because usually, I notice that there is additional language printed on the felt that describes a specific limit on inside bets or odds.

The old Binion's games were mostly $1.usd players, retired guys grinding it out. Still fun but more hype than actual big action.

I saw a lot of put bets, i.e. put the 6 for $5+$100. Better than placing or buying if you are going that big.

But the best game is in Harrah's Joliet. I rescind the above statement. $2 with 20x odds on Tuesdays. Just about the friendliest dealers I've ever seen.

How is this allocated... I can't figure it out.

point 6/8 - $25 each outside, and $180 6/8?

Maybe 40-40-60-60-40-40. But I wanted a real clarification.
