I always thought of running a "gambling school" locally, but after my experiences just trying to explain why you hit a 16 against a dealers 10 showing (and the arguments) or trying to explain why someone should never take any prop bet "if the dealer touches your bet in craps, you don't want to place it" and having people tell me about the time they hit 11, or the hard 4... I gave up.

At $35 an hour how many chips can I pocket during the game?

I think you have an interesting idea. Craps school with live play on an authentic table, plus instruction. I'm not sure how many people would pay $35 an hour?

You might consider it a class and have some guide printed (as in, you print it on your computer or make copies at the local copy place) with odds and explaining the full odds bets with no house advantage.

Maybe a class with play for $50 a person and give them a half hour of instruction and 60 - 90 minutes of play, would make it worth your effort.

Just tossing out some ideas.

It would be fun and you could meet people.
