Learn to Play Craps - Tips and Strategies: Etiquette and Superstitions

Be smart, play smart, learn how to play craps the right way!

Unfortunately, a craps table is usually full of superstitious people. If you do or say something against their silly beliefs, they sometimes give you dirty looks or verbally abuse you. To help avoid embarrassment, ridicule, and possible vocal confrontations with these people, learn their superstitions and practice craps etiquette. I know it's foolish to play along with people's crazy superstitions, but you'll have much more fun at the table if you do.

Practicing good etiquette includes remembering to be nice to the dealers. Don't annoy them by throwing chips at them, knocking over their chip stacks, or blaming them for your losses. If you tee off the dealers, how can you maximize your fun? Besides, it just isn't nice. Your friendly attitude will be infectious, soon making the whole table more fun. (Sounds like a good time for group hug and round of Kumbaya.)

Regardless of what so-called "dice doctors" and "craps kings" write on their web sites, there's no such thing as a "sane" craps superstition. One superstition isn't more or less sound than another. They're all the same--silly. But you must heed them or the idiots at the table who actually believe in them can make your time at the table miserable.

Respecting many of the idiots' superstitions has matured into traditional protocol at the craps table. Therefore, you must know and understand them. That's another prerequisite to learning the secret to craps.

Now you know! Remember, learn how to play craps the right way.
