This thread may be a good place to upload photos for interesting things @craps @casino,

Per Google:

"You might encounter a range of interesting things at a craps table in a casino,
from unusual winning streaks to peculiar player behaviors and superstitions.

Unusual Events & Streaks:

Remarkable Wins: People share stories of incredible bets that paid off handsomely,
like the person who won $6000 by repeatedly betting on the "Yo" (11)
and having it hit multiple times in a row.

Long Rolls: You might witness incredibly long rolls
where a shooter goes for extended periods without rolling a seven,
generating significant winnings for everyone at the table.

Weird Dice Rolls:
Sometimes, unusual streaks of numbers can appear, leaving players wondering about the probabilities
and contributing to the table's energy.

Superstitions & Rituals:
Avoid the "Seven": Many players believe that saying the word "seven"
after a point is established will bring bad luck to the shooter and the table.

Dice Handling:
There are many superstitions surrounding the dice themselves, such as blowing on the dice
or believing that if they leave the table, it brings bad luck.

Player Actions:
Players have various rituals to try and improve their luck,
such as crossing their legs, wearing lucky colors,
or having specific pre-roll routines.

Don't Pass Bets:
Betting on the "Don't Pass" line can be seen as going against the common goal of the table,
and some players view it as bad karma.

Table Dynamics:

Emotional Reactions:
You'll see a mix of emotions at the craps table, from players celebrating wins to those disappointed by losses.

Player Types:
Different people bring their unique personalities to the table, some are quiet and observant, while others are more vocal and energetic.

Dealer Interactions:
The dealers are a key part of the craps experience, helping to manage the game and interacting with the players.

Remember: Craps is a game of chance, and superstitions don't actually affect the outcome.
However, the stories and rituals surrounding the game contribute to its unique atmosphere
and add to the entertainment value of the experience." by Google



I saw Mr. B made $480,000 net, during some long rolls and remarkable wins (see photos}

Unlike blackjack-staff (WHO SHUFFELS THE DECKS against a big winner),
the craps-staff did not interfere the roller by "sticking in the face"

Awesome, how long did it take you to accumulate that? Was it just one session?
You can't know everything, but you can know anything.

I've seen crews mess with a shooter, for example fuss about hitting the back wall when the shooter had in fact had no problem with that... or maybe taking too long to shoot

what is "sticking in the face"?
the next time Dame Fortune toys with your heart, your soul and your wallet, raise your glass and praise her thus: “Thanks for nothing, you cold-hearted, evil, damnable, nefarious, low-life, malicious monster from Hell!”   She is, after all, stone deaf. ... Arnold Snyder

""stickman puts his stick at the shooter's face as the shooter rolls the dice"
sounds like a scene from a movie or a hypothetical situation, not a standard or safe practice in craps. In the game of craps, the stickman uses their stick to manage the dice and call the game, but their position and use of the stick are governed by specific rules and etiquette to maintain a fair and safe game.
The stickman's primary role is to control the dice, retrieving them after each roll and pushing them to the shooter. They also call the dice rolls and manage proposition bets placed in the center of the table.
It's highly unlikely that a stickman would ever point the stick towards a player's face, especially during a roll. Doing so would be disruptive, potentially dangerous, and violate basic craps etiquette. If a stickman were to do such a thing, it would likely be considered highly unprofessional and potentially lead to their dismissal. " Per Google

sounds like google doesnt think this degree of rudeness goes on at all. Nor have I ever seen it. Seems odd you brought it up but had to consult google

I've had stickmen complain I was getting into their space when shooting. I took it at the time as another case of "messing with the hot shooter anytime you can dream something up" but maybe I was hasty in that conclusion. I just don't like it when they say anything at all to a shooter except for the worst kind of stuff he might be doing

pretty interesting that casino personnel would believe that "messing with the hot shooter" can cause him to cease being hot
it's a superstition not unlike that of the gamblers themselves
of course whether or not casino personnel "mess with the hot shooter" has nothing at all to do with whether or not he will remain hot
but many may believe otherwise

some more from Google - their AI Overview of this:

", there are some anecdotal reports and discussions suggesting that casino personnel might employ tactics to try and "cool off" a hot shooter, though these actions are generally not considered standard procedure and are unlikely to directly influence the dice roll.
Here's a breakdown of what might happen and why:
Superstition and Perception: Craps is a game steeped in superstition, and some players and dealers alike believe in the concept of a "hot hand" or a "hot shooter" who can influence the dice. While mathematically the odds of each roll remain the same, winning streaks can create a strong belief in this phenomenon, according to a Reddit discussion. This perceived influence could lead some dealers to employ actions to try and break the streak.
Dealer Actions (rare and questionable):
Slowing down the game: Some users have reported dealers potentially slowing down the game when a shooter is winning, according to a Facebook post. This could be done by taking longer to pay out bets or explain rules to new players, says a Reddit user. This doesn't affect the dice but might frustrate the shooter or break their rhythm.
Touching or interfering with the dice: There have been discussions about instances where dealers have potentially interfered with the dice, like putting their hands in the way of the roll. However, this is unlikely to actually alter the outcome of the roll significantly and may even result in a "no roll" if deemed intentional interference with the dice after they've been thrown."

I guess I can believe the stick could be shook in your face if you weren't actually in the process of tossing the dice

for sure one random event overtaken by another random event results in just another random event. That the casino personnel would participate in "cooler" behavior is kind of surprising as tips no doubt get better in a hot roll.

I can indulge in harmless superstitions sometimes, but since I believe random times random = random, the idea that a shooter can get cooled off isn't what bothers me, but instead the etiquette of the matter. A shooter who gets bothered is a shooter whose enjoyment of the pastime has been wrecked
