The 12 superstitions about craps: #3 - Late buy-ins and the seven

The 12 most popular superstitions at the game of craps are adhered to or believed by most craps players -- so if you want to play the game and not be thought a craps barbarian, you should know them. Keep in mind that individuals add their own superstitions, too, so you might hear someone yelling some incoherent thing at the table which, to him, will ward off the coming of the ominous 7 -- or bring it on, if he is a darkside player.

If a good shooter is throwing the dice, throwing money on the table to buy in will make the seven appear.

No, it won't. But it will slow down the game and annoy everyone, as the box person has to stop the game to count the money and give the player his chips. By the way, you want to take a controlled shooter out of his rolling zone? Stop the game dead by buying in when he is rolling. Do you feel a strong need to get into the game right now? Then take out what you want to bet and put that amount of money on the table. Do you want a $60 six and eight? Then put $120 down and say, "Sixty dollar six and eight." You won't slow down the game and you will be in the action.
