"BEAT THE CRAPS OUT OF THE CASINOS" by Frank Scoblete

When the dice or a die leaves the 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!"
When the dice hit 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 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 dealer’s hand.

When a good roll is in progress never throw money on the table to cash in while the shooter is shooting. If the dice hit the new money the next roll will be a seven.

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.

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!

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.

A wrong bettor at a 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.

If a twelve is rolled a seven is soon to follow!

I can’t believe you guys haven’t mentioned te infamous simply saying the word "seven" during a roll! Isn’t tat why we say "Hop the reds" if we want to bet the next roll will 7 out?

A 5 always follows when a 9 is thrown.

See a horn bet a horn.

Always bet an "any craps" on a come out roll to protect your pass line bet.

All baloney. I would put more but there are too many to mention.

Doc

I heard it was bad luck to be superstitious. 😮

I have made a few $$$ playing the superstitious thing. One dealer said when I was leaving that no body will know when to take down their bets if I leave. He said that I called it right 17 times but who was counting? Just him I guess because no body else was doing like I was till after the 10 or 11 time I did it. 😀 😀
So some times it pays .I like the idea of any little thing to bring down my bets on RR .
If it does not work at least my $$ are still in my rack . 😀 😀
Good Rolling. 😀 😀

finisher,

You are absolutely correct when saying any little thing to bring down bets on a RR. When betting on a RR you will lose in the long run – period. The less you bet (or the more you keep your bets down) the less you will lose. Great system.

Way to go, Finisher! 🙂 😀
That’s quite a record! Do you remember if that was a profitable session?

I once had a profitable session going $12 6&8 on random rollers, then calling it off before a 7 showed up. Made $200. It was delicious!
I once had an even more profitable session going $44 inside and somehow avoiding the 7. Made $900 going from table to table, shooting the breeze and calling my bets off, without ever pressing them! Good times.

We have a dozen such superstitions in Casino Craps: Shoot to Win!. Craps lends itself to superstition since it started out as an attempt to divine the will of the gods.
