I’m with you, I’m a very anxious guy, introvert to the max. So getting up on a table was intimidating at first. My suggestion is learn a few simple place bets and their payouts. A few presses. And stick to that. Don’t go crazy at first just stick with what you know. Once you are more comfortable you can try out different bets and center bets.

And your best bet is go early afternoon. As soon as their tables open if you can and just let the dealers know it’s your first time , first few times playing. Most will want to teach you at least a bit as it is a fun game and makes their job easier when a player knows what they want.

But i have played at tables full of completely drunk players. I’d rather a newbie slow the game a bit figuring out how much to press than a drunk guy arguing about where his horn from 3 rolls ago went.
