Centerfield 9 Craps
'Centerfield 9'. Not sure why, but that always makes me smile the way they say it. Sounds like a used car salesman. '7 out, 3 and 4, you are poor' and my personal favorite with a friend of mine: 'Two craps, Leann get your twos off the rail'. There are two types of craps; street crap and table crap. We are going to address these two variations of craps in this piece. First of all, let’s answer the question you’re asking; why is nine called centerfield in craps? The answer is simple. Nine is called the centerfield because it is the middle number shown on the layout in casinos. For the field.9, center field 9, swung on and belted straight to center field (in memory of baseball announcer Dave Niehaus.for the Pac NW area). 2/3/12 craps, pay the field and come again. 2/3 can be used if you have a don't player too; pay the don'ts and come again. If a guy can't hit the wall, I threaten to break out the 'pink dice'. Come: This allows you to bet the Pass Line any time after the shooter's point is established. You take the next number rolled as your point. After that, wins and losses are determined on the same basis as a Pass Line bet. Center Field 9 Craps spins on Aloha Cluster Pays.

Are most stickmen this befriending/charming?
Some are, some aren't.
But watch that video closely and you'll see at least two edits. You can't tell if he's always like that, or if it's occasional and they edited out the boring parts.
By the way, there were at least two phrases that were in that video twice. So a lot of it is just the same ol' routine.

As an ex-dice dealer from Vegas. I have nothing good to say about him.
Would never be a good stickman in Vegas or for that matter anywhere.
New Craps Dealers, this video is how NOT to be a stickman. Sure his words are fun to listen to but his procedures are horrible and should piss off any boxman that would care about their table.
One the first come out roll he uses a Roulette Dealers line, 'Place your bets', yuck and does nothing to advertise the prop bets like bet the 7, 11 craps checks etc.
That is what box wants to hear!
He is not ready with his stick to reach out and call the dice and bring them in using the stick. How many times does he pick up the dice with his hands? Too many. That is real bad. And he does not switch between both hands using the stick.
Again, he uses a 'No cheating before 5' line on a come out roll, not advertising the fact or even again to bet the prop bets. He says 'How about a little insurance?'
WTF! Advertise we have the same shooter coming out and it is a good time to bet the 7 and 11, horn, craps checks!
His stick calls are not even proper calls. The first roll is a 9, the call should be 'Nine, centerfield Nine, mark the point 9', then he can add his funny lines following.
Another come out roll '6 now, put him on 6 now'...horrible stick call.And on a point of 6 he pushes the Big 8, ok but does nothing about selling the hardways!
This drove my crazy and would frustrate a boxman to a boiling point!
Another call' And that is 9. Pay the place bet, on and off' WTF!!!
Proper call would be '9 centerfield nine, off and on for the come bet 9, pay the place bet.'
It is 'Off and On' NOT 'on and off', because the bet would come off and then come back on.
He is sloppy, his procedures and stick calls are extremely poor and should have been sent back to Dealers school.
Yeah, Im old and grumpy today.

Some of the links on the right sides of that page and attached pages are a combination of curious and humorous videos I hadn't seen before. Thanks.
Hey DJ

Let's not accuse him of not trying to be helpful. It's a bit of a pain and it's nice if someone does it.
to do it yourself, look for the link below the text area when replying, it says 'click here for formatting codes'
