I dont mind the soft sell of the side bets. Thats sorta their job....just like when the drive through clerk at McD's asks me if I want fries with that.
IT DOES AMAZE ME the number of people that actually play the side bets. Everytime I play craps there are people at the table who I know are educated about the game and are throwing money at bets they know have over a 10% house edge. And they play them anyway. last trip a guy kept playing the Big 6/8. I told him he would get paid better if he simply placed those numbers. He didn't want to. He liked the Big 6/8 because he could put the wager on the table himself instead of having the dealer do it.
I was like, "Damn! You Cray-cray! "
