Most non-novice craps players I know know the odds fairly well. (The odds on a craps table are actually not that terrible for the player, among casino pit games.) And a "hot" craps table is a tremendously enjoyable place to spend an hour or two.

(It's Roulette, particularly American Roulette, that has some of the most dreadful odds for the player.)

"Hot" meaning the players are [temporarily] on a winning streak.

Craps is a strange game in that at 5x odds the house advantage is 0.3%, then there's other bets on the table where it's over 15%. I'm guessing without those other bets and naive punters the tables really aren't worth it to the casino.

It's also quite fun. Paying 30c for every $100 bet really doesn't seem like a bad deal for what you get.
