How do I know when to walk away from a craps table?

The live's the thing at craps, but you also gotta know when it's time to bail. The minute you're down more scratch than you can stomach losing, that's your cue. Go ahead and cash out whatever's left and call it. There'll always be another game and chances to win it back, but no sense losing your lunch over it.

Fees and rake start adding up quick too, so keep an eye on that. Pretty soon the house cut's eating away more than half your losses, if you wanna call em that. At that point, the table's not worth your time anymore.

And if the fun's gone? Like you're too frustrated sipping drinks, rolling dice, bored outta your skull after a few hours? Peace out. Save the rest of your roll for another day. The whole point of gambling's entertainment, right? Once that's drifted away, move on.

Your bets climbing higher and higher but the excitement ain't? That's a sign you're trying too hard to gain back what's lost. Take it back down a notch or two and reconsider your situation. Strong emotions fueling the fire now - excitement, greed, fear of missing out? Time for a time out.

Table's closing up for the night? Happens fast. Make like a tree and get outta there. Next thing you know they'll shut the whole craps felt down and you'll be stuck. Better safe than sorry!

Pitchers of drinks piling up too or you're seeing double? No amount of fun at the table beats the trouble double-vision and bad judgment can lead too. Stay sharp if you wanna stay in the game.

People get told by floor managers/pit bosses to cool it for the night? For their own damn good reason too. Not worth arguing over. Shoulda been walking on your own anyway.

And that "gut feeling"? That little voice telling you it's probably best if you eject from this joint right now? Always listen to that voice. It's the voice of reason, even if come morning a few more rolls wouldn't have burnt you.

When in doubt, cash out. At craps, it's wins as much as losses that count - and wins you'll be able to appreciate a whole lot more once you're not sitting at the table anymore. Know when to walk away, and all your winnings'll stay! Best of luck next time, and remember - gamble for fun. Never forget that.
