I would never rest my hopes solely on luck, and I regard playing
against the house as ultimately futile. Whereas poker is played
against other fallible players rather than the house, and it has enough
of an element of skill that the more experienced and knowledgable
players will usually take money from the not-so-good players.

At the same time I recognize the appeal that other games have to
different players. A craps table certainly has a more exciting
atmosphere than a poker table, at least outwardly. There are craps
players who believe that setting and throwing the dice is a learned
skill that can improve their results, but I remain skeptical of that.
