  • I left that table after getting up about $50 - it's always nice to start a trip with a win - and went to play some video poker. A little while later I walked to Circus Circus and somebody eating a meal at the electronic craps game asked me how I did. I didn't recognize him and must have looked puzzled, and he said, 'At craps.'

Last year, I am playing at Main Street Station in my favorite position, directly next to the dealer. I am quietly playing the DC and making very good money on a frozen cold table. Most rightside players had dug into their wallets for additional buy-in several times. A lady directly opposite me (across the table) asks the dealer, 'What is he doing to win all this money?' The dealer replies 'Oh, he is betting against the table. It's a bad way to play. It's no fun, and most don't do it.'
I said nothing in response, but did wonder who was having more fun: me filling my rail or the others continuously pulling $100 out of their wallets.

And an example of how NOT to play the darkside.
I am a very quiet player, feeling that it is bad etiquette to cheer upon a win in which most others lost. But not others feel that way.
One particular night, this 'gentleman' approaches the table. He was a young kid and had obviously been drinking heavily. He throws his $3 down on the DP and starts chanting that he is 'darth vader' and cheering for a 7-out. Upon a win, he yells to the other players that 'I won. You lost.'
After a few minutes of this, the pit boss comes over and says, 'Sir, I'm happy that you won. But if you make my other players uncomfortable, you'll have to leave.' To which he mumbles under his breath, 'Who is he to tell me what to do. I can bet how I want.'High stakes craps stories online
I left under that, feeling that things could get ugly.

First a disclaimer - I don't always play the darkside, but when I do ....
I've never heard a dealer say this is a bad way to play. I've heard other people explain to their friends that I'm betting with the house - I wish! I correct them if there's an opportunity. I've had people switch from rightside to darkside because I'm winning that way. They lose and walk away in disgust.
HighBut I have two favorite stories.
One is similar to your tale of the loud young kid. My guy was an older gentleman who didn't taunt the other players, but he did keep yelling for the seven and made a ton of prop bets - 'Come on big red!!' I didn't mind him drawing attention to himself, but then he started drawing me into it when we won, pointing at me and yelling, 'There ya go, we like that seven!' And we were at opposite ends of the table, so everyone knew, and some probably thought we were together. I just wanted to crawl under a rock.
The Black Hat
I stayed at the Silver Legacy and started my gambling there with some craps, playing the don't pass. I walked up to the table and stood at an open spot on the other side of the stick from a fellow wearing a black had. I bought in for $300 and made my $5 DP bet and then noticed Black Hat was also betting the DP, but his bet was more like $300. We both laid full odds, at least I'm pretty sure he was, but my brain stopped being able to multiply by 6 with numbers larger than 200. The table was choppy and after a few points were made he got another $5000 marker. Sometimes he would bet $500 (and maybe more) always with a big stack of odds. I used to feel uncomfortable when playing at a table with a high roller, especially when I'm betting on the opposite side - winning $30 when he's losing hundreds, so I was at least glad we were both on the don't. Unlike some big bettors I've seen, this guy acted like an average person at the table - he could have been me except his bets were about 100 times bigger. (There's one guy who plays at one of the Indian casinos here, not quite as much, who just makes an ass of himself - not at all friendly and bitching about short rolls even when it's clear there is no attempt at dice control.) Black Hat would get frustrated when he lost, but not overly loud and angry. He was friendly with the dealers and tipped well.
StoriesI left that table after getting up about $50 - it's always nice to start a trip with a win - and went to play some video poker. A little while later I walked to Circus Circus and somebody eating a meal at the electronic craps game asked me how I did. I didn't recognize him and must have looked puzzled, and he said, 'At craps.' He told me that after I left he had 'taken Black Hat for about 7K.' I didn't know what to say, probably grunted out something like, 'uh-huh,' and walked away wondering why anyone feels that way about people playing the don't. Unless he's a casino employee, he didn't 'take' anything. He won whatever he won and the Casino was happy to take the 7K. I know there's a lot of 'me vs. you' thinking between light side and dark side players, but really, why can't we all get along? It's all of us against the house!

Darkside nonsense
Well i dont play it, but i can tell you how stupid some dark siders can be.
Two years ago before they raised Oshea's, my wife was in the pool at Harrah's and
i decided to go play some.
I went over to Oshea's to play they had three tables, i liked the middle 12 footer.
When i got there it was half full and on right end was a guy about 30 with maybe
$4500 in chips playing the dark side and hollering like , well you have seen it.
I got the dice and 54 rolls later he was diggin in his pocket for a crumpled up
$5 bill to STILL ' bet the dark side.
Well he won that $5

Congratulations on the nice roll. The doom of many a darksider is to keep taking a beating on a hot shooter. Myself, I will stop the dark on a given shooter upon the loss of the first bet that has odds with it. And if the shooter makes two points in a row, I will even transition to the light side. No sense throwing good money after bad.

I've played a ton of dark side, but I don't have any great stories...I already shared my most notable story in this thread over here. Had some good clean fun with right-side bettors over the years talking smack back and forth. I think I've only seriously pissed off one guy; a story which I've also already told over here.

Here is one for you.. I wont play at the venetian anymore due to terrible customer service and bad comping. My friend was on his way there to see a show. He had about 45 minutes and said why don't you roll. We were the only ones at the table. We were just playing around and I said ok. He bet 300 don't. I took the dice and first roil was a 6. He put 300 behind and next roll was a 7. Winner! Roll #2 was the same bet. I rolled and a 10 came up then the 7! Winner. 3rd roll he bet 500 on the don't and I rolled a 2. Another winner. 4th bet 500 and I rolled a 6. This time he put out 1500 min odds again the next roll was a 7.. Long story short By the 19th roll in a roll and pressing he had accumulated 21,000!!!! A record! All in less then 35 minutes! Left after two loses in a row.

It's odd, but understandable that I don't have many stories about playing the darkside. I suppose its not a side that you go out of your way jumping up and down on a win and high fiving other players. With that said...
One of my best dark side moments was probably playing at the Flamingo. Here I am betting the darkside against everyone who is shooting on the table. I'm betting against Mr. Moneybags, the Seven Eleven owner, and a bunch of pubescent college kids with grandpa. Mr. Moneybags has about 2-3 grand in chips in greens across the table. I'm betting $10 DP against him, and everyone else for that matter. When I start to roll, I switch my DP to a PL. He switches his PL to a DP. Well well well, 'It's on like donkey kong!' First roll, 7 winner! Moneybags doubles his DP against me. Next roll, point of 6. I hit my 6. Moneybags now puts everything he got on the DP. My palms are a little sweaty. 'Don't hate the player, just hate the game.' I seven out on the next point. His wife takes all his winnings and cashes out.
