赌博新手经常不知道在赌桌上该怎么做。他们刚开始去赌场时很烦恼，有时候不知道该怎么做以及某些情况下该如何反应。
赌博的时候，在有些桌子上他们会发现每个人保持笑而且很友好。玩家和发牌人就像老朋友一样开玩笑并且每个人看起来很高兴；在另一些桌子上却气氛严肃，不交谈，不笑，除了赌博带来的压力什么也感受不到。人们在不同氛围中更喜欢哪种环境呢？一般的答案是找到你喜欢的氛围的赌桌并在那里赌博。如果你是一个不喜欢多说话的男人或者女人，你应该选择一桌沉默氛围的赌桌。虽然有时一群活跃热情的赌博者和一个开朗的发牌人组织在同一张桌子上，赌场总管，或者是赌场管理人这类高层，大部分人仅仅是为了娱乐，正如一些人为了赢钱而来。这意味着赌场是有很多社交活动的娱乐场所。当然，赌场有很多明确的需要遵从的规矩。这些明文的规矩是少数 ,大部分规矩都是未成文，需要了解的。这些最基本的规则有：
第一，不要多管闲事。毕竟这样很粗鲁。没有人会乐意被别人说自己玩得很糟糕或者是如果他拿的同样的牌他会玩得有多好。
第二，不要令其他人感到烦恼。
第三，作弊的人会被赶走。如果不参与赌博的话，玩家希望他只是看赌博而不欢迎提供建议。
第四，在赌博的时候讨论。这是很众所周知的，赌场不变的规矩。当然有社交桌，甚至有社交发牌人，当然在这种类型的赌博的过程中讨论是正确的。然而，在双骰子桌上总是有太多的噪音和笑声，但是双骰子是噪音制造者的最爱并且制造噪音的人经常是糟糕的赌博者。因为那些有技术的赌博者需要集中精力，你和其他的人也一样。在卡片游戏和骰子赌博中太多的聊天会使玩家分心，出现错误，特别是玩家在整理思绪时。如果为了表现得过分随和，玩家不集中精力，这对于一场好的赌博关系重大。因此，遵守这项规则，要有好，要礼貌，但是请把真正的精力放在玩游戏上。
第五，不要喝酒。这是一项众所周知很难真正做到的规则，特别是当酒很便宜或者甚至家里有酒的时候。但是请记住，仅仅10盎司的酒精以10%的比重损害反应能力和思考能力。是的，仅仅是一瓶酒。没有任何东西比酒对赌博者的判断力影响更大的了。所以，把酒留到玩了游戏之后再喝吧！
第七，输了，再赢回来，毋庸置疑。在赌场里，输得很惨的人到处都是，所以不必灰心。只有成年人才允许赌博，这里有一个很好的理由： 一个成年人需要完全知道赌博中他的金钱存在的风险。如果他输了，那是他自己的责任，正如输了的人没有权利大发脾气和控告别人即使他的钱输得很快。同样，有一句话来形容赌博赢了的人：高兴得好像赌博的人赢了钱一样。无论输赢，最好记住如果一定要说赌博者对其他的赌博者要义务的话，那么他的义务就是坚定不移的听从自己的命运。
How to Behave in the Casino
Novice gamblers often wonder how to behave at the gambling table. They’re confused in the beginning, not quite sure how to act and react. At some tables they find everyone is smiling and jovial. Players joke with dealers as if they were old friends and everyone seems to be having a grand time. At other tables seriousness is the word, not chatting, no smiling, no nothing but pressures of the game. What is expected of one in such uncertain surroundings?
Generally the answer is to find the style of game you like and stick to it. If you’re a no-nonsense man or woman, find a no-nonsense table. Though there are those times when a group of hyper-intense gamblers are grouped at one table with a hyper-intense dealer, croupier, or stickman as topping, most people play for fun just as much as they play for profit. This means the casino is by and large a cheerful place with plenty of sociability. Naturally there are certain rules of propriety one follows. These are few, largely unwritten, and good to know. Some of the basic ones are:
Be Careful about Kibitzing First of all, it’s rude. No one wants to be told how badly he’s playing or how much better the kibitzer would play if he were holding the same hand. Second, it’s bothersome to others. And third, at times it can be taken as a form of cheating. If a person is just watching a game he is expected to watch it without contributing his advice.
Talking while Playing There is no hard, fast rule here. Certainly there are gregarious tables, even gregarious dealers, and certainly it’s all right to make conversation in the course of a game. At the craps table there is always much noise and mirth, but craps has been a favorite of the noisemakers, and noisemakers usually make bad gamblers. Those who play by skill need to concentrate. This goes for you as well as the other guy. Too much chit-chat over the cards or dice is distracting. Mistakes are made, especially if playing a system. In the attempt to be overly sociable, a player can lose his or her concentration that is so vital to good gambling. So follow this rule, be friendly, be polite, but spend your real energies playing the game.
Be Careful of Liquor This is an obvious rule but hard to follow, especially when the drinks are cheap or even on the house. But remember, even one ounce of alcohol impairs reflex and thought response by as much as 10 percent. Yes, even one drink. Nothing will affect a gambler’s discretion faster than booze. So save it for after the game.
Lose Well, Win Well Again, little need be said. A bad loser is not an infrequent sight in the Nevada casinos and, really, he or she is one of the most boring. Only adults are allowed to gamble and this for a sound reason, an adult is expected to be fully aware of the risks involved in chancing his money. If he loses, it is totally his responsibility, just as it is his responsibility not to throw tantrums or accusations if he comes out on the short end.
The same can be said about winning, nothing is as annoying as the gambler who crows his victory. Win or lose, it’s best to remember that when one gambles he has an obligation to the other players and one of those obligations is to accept his fate with dignity
