Superstition 1
When the dice or a
die leaves the casino craps table, the next roll will be a seven.
This might be avoided by making sure that the dealers give you
the same dice for your next roll. This is why you'll hear the
shooter yell out: "Same dice!"
Superstition 2
When the dice hits
someone's hand, that roll will be a seven. This is why you'll
hear so many people shouting: "Watch your hands!" as
the shooter starts to roll. Even the casino craps crew will shout
this out and be careful of where they place their hands. Many
a craps player has accused the casino of jinxing the roll by letting
the dice hit a craps dealer's hand.
Superstition 3
When a good roll is
in progress never throw money on the casino craps table to cash
in while the shooter is shooting. If the dice hit the new money
the next roll will be a seven.
Superstition 4
A woman who has
never rolled the dice will have a hot roll the first time out.
This is the Virgin Principle. Female dice virgins are a much sought
after breed. When one appears, the veteran players will sometimes
place bets for her to win her and her god's favors.
Superstition 5
Men who have never
rolled the dice before will have bad rolls. Who said sexism doesn't
exist in craps? We prize virginity in our female rollers and despise
it in our males. The males must have experience to know how to
give a good roll!
Superstition 6
Never open a table
or be the first or only player at a table. Dice are cold at a
new table and have to be handled before they can warm up.
Superstition 7
A wrong bettor at a
craps table will increase the likelihood of the seven coming up.
And the more wrong bettors at a table, the more the seven will
come up.
