It is required to know more about the game than the odds or bets and this is the superstitions and beliefs that surround the craps table. You won't be very popular at the table if you don't respect these beliefs and superstitions. Not your odds of winning will be increasing but the odds of making some friends at the craps table.

It is a belief that a seven will roll out in case one of the dice or both have fallen off the table. Do not try it as the dealer might give you the same dice that has fallen. People in the crowd may encourage him to do this by yelling "Same dice!" a shout that can be often heard at the craps table. In some cases the dealer will change the dice as he is afraid of replaces that could happen to them while they were on the floor.

Another rolled out seven situation is when the dice hits a person's hand. This is a very popular craps myth as players even casino staffs shout "Watch your hands!" If you don't want a whole of dirty looks aimed in your direction better conform to the urge.

Don't get your chips until the action has finished. The casinos advice the players not to throw their money on the table if another player is on a hot streak. It is considered that if the dice touch the new money that the next throw will seven out.

The men and women are treated differently at craps as well. It is believed that if this is a woman's first time playing craps than she will be a hot shooter. If you are a woman in this situation try to make your status known to attract as much people possible to the table. If you are a man don't do it as it is considered that man's first time is a cold one.

The bad luck is said to be drawn from the wrong bettors. Don't bet continuously against the shooter if you want to have some popularity at the table.

Another thing that is considered to bring bad luck is touching or speaking to a shooter in a high roll. Try to avoid walking between him and another person while they have a high roll as well.

Avoid mentioning the number seven. Use the term "It" if you like as is popular among the players. Say "it will come" for example. Some players go that far as calling the number seven the devil: "If that devil shows, we will lose lots of money."
