The third dealer is called the stickperson. The dealers on base also place your bets for you if you are making certain types of bets (for example, Place bets and Come/Don't Come bets are placed by the dealer - more on these later) and mark the 'point' with a marker called a 'puck' once the point has been established (more on points later). Two of the dealers stand on the back side of the table facing the players - these are ' on base,' meaning that they are the ones who keep track of your bets, pay you if you win, and take your chips if you lose. There are three dealers at each table (actually, four dealers are assigned to each table, but they rotate so that one is always on break).
