On a recent stop at O’Sheas, we asked Larry, a craps dealer, to answer one simple question just about everyone wants the answer to: “What is the best bet in the casino?”

Larry wanted to do stand-up. And as a craps dealer, you stand up A LOT.

Larry pondered the question for a moment and replied, “The best bet in the casino? The one that hits.”

We get the feeling Larry gets that question a lot.

Bonus craps fact: By playing just $1 on the “hard six” or “hard eight” (those numbers have to come as a pair before an “easy” six or eight, and before a seven), you can turn your $1 bet into $1,000 just by letting it ride three times. Hit a pair of threes once, and $1 wins $10. Hit the hard six again, and it’s $100. One more time, and it’s $1,000.

When it happens, don’t forget to give a little love to Larry.
