Craps base dealing procedure is critical. It is the foundation of dealing this game. Good hands (sizing, drop cut) and solid dealing procedure is what employers want. When learning this game, you will have a much easier time breaking in with solid base dealing procedure over math.
Live game supervisors are very much aware you are a break-in dealer and have no problem telling you how much a particular bet pays if you cant remember. What we have little patience for is a new dealer who is lost or even inconsistent in their dealing procedure. Your knowledge of what any bet pays means nothing compared to absolute and predictable base dealing procedures that must be mastered.
To achieve that level, you will need to put some serious time into practicing. This is why I developed this practice mat. It will allow you to practice at home with realistic imagery on both second and third base, thus practicing both inside outside hand procedures on each base.
You will practice dealing this game for months even after you get hired or cross-trained into dice. Every GOOD dice dealer practiced many hours to sharpen their skills. A solid 'automatic reaction' to base dealing procedure allows you to concentrate on communication skills and the mathematics of the game.
I teach base dealing procedure with choreographed exercise patterns as you will see below in the five videos. We show the pattern on both second and third base. I start off with a very simple pattern and once my students find a comfort zone, I turn it up a notch. The five videos below are the first wave threshold of procedure videos to come, each more difficult than the one before it.
