The Ten Commandments of Craps

Craps, like any culture, has many rules to follow. Here are the Ten Commandments of Craps:

1. Never put down a bet when the dice are in the air. If the dice hit the money or the chips, the "seven" will result and the biggest guy at the table will be aiming for you.
2. Never talk to a shooter who is about to roll. If you do, that "seven" will come up.
3. Never push your way into a game next to a person who is shooting. If you bump him, you know what will happen and you know what big guy will be after you.
4. Never say the word "seven" at a craps table. If you do, it will appear.
5. Never think the word "seven" at a craps table. If you do, it will appear.
6. Never take new dice if a die goes off the table. Ask for "same dice" or the "seven" will appear.
7. Never dangle your hands over the table because if the dice hit them, the "seven" will appear and so will that big guy who punches people.
8. Never delay the game because a hot shooter always cools off during delays and you know what number will come up then. If you can't figure out what bets you made, find some simpler game, like slots, to play.
9. Never yell at someone who sevens out early. If you do, when it's your turn, you'll seven out early too.
10. Never tell people how much money you've won playing craps because they'll expect you to buy that baby a new pair of shoes!
