play craps, —ALWAYS take the odds after you come out, —NEVER play the field bets (sucker). [but I *will* play a Hardway Eight-just foolish, I guess]. Oh, and when the shooter is at the opposite end of the table from you...—ALWAYS bet Don'tPass or Don'tCome.
I was slightly off on the last couple hands and came up with the (incorrect) answer of "Euchre". Thankfully I double-checked things, and came up with a much more straightforward answer, but my detour was fun too.
I almost always overthink Murdoctor's puzzles (because usually it is necessary)...sometimes they are just as straightforward as can be...wish I'd come to the party sooner.
I really thought I was on the right track with "housebroken," but that didn't work. (You should totally recycle this photo for a
"housebroken" answer in the future!)

Although I enjoy blackjack, I can't seem to decipher this cool-looking puzzle...

Nice. Got the wrong answer at first because I used the order in which blackjack is dealt: dealer's left to right and then the dealer.

[14] I considered using that order, but thought that might throw too many people. *shrug*
