Question from Gambling Theory & Other Topics

[BarronVangorToth]

In a recent article at Gutshot, the author mentions Gambling Theory in the 4th paragraph as part of his discussion:


“Gambling Theory & Other Topics”, refers to betting on craps in such a way that, when you included dealer error, you were likely to end up a small amount in profit. Er, dealer error? What is meant here, is theft, pure and simple. If you are going to do that, then fine, but what you are doing is stealing.


Before someone thinks I'm attacking Mason and 2+2, the exact opposite: is this type of description accurate ... or is what he's talking about completely out of context?

(Part of this has to also do with my mainly only being versed in poker when it comes to casinos as I have always avoided every other game.)

In the spirit of full disclosure, as most people know, I do also write for Gutshot along with the 2+2 magazine and this particular writer isn't one to make ludicrous claims normally - so I'm wondering how he derived something that seems seedy from something that I'm guessing isn't...

Or is this just a case of me being ignorant as to how craps functions?
