Feel like this is pretty important for new / novice players but here is a list of common 'superstitions' and best practices to do/don't do at the craps table that can be considered bad luck and get you dirty looks at the table.

• Do not ever at the table mention: Seven, crap out, Seven out, anything regarding seven. I've seen people mutter "He better not roll a seven here" and the next roll out, seven.
  
• In the middle of someone's roll do not play any of the 'any seven' hedge bets, this can throw the shooter off and get you dirty looks. Those bets are trash anyway.
  
• Do not buy in during another players roll, wait for him to crap out and then buy in.
  
• Do not gloat if you are a don't player, and winning.
  
• Set up your dice, but don't take too long rolling them.
  
• Don't try to slam the backstop when you roll
  
• If the stick man is changing, the next roll is probably going to be a seven.
  
• If the shooter throws the dice off the table the next roll is probably going to be a seven.
  
• You can turn your bets off at any time, I do this if someone does anything I listed above. Says seven, throws the dice off the table, stickman change etc.
  
• Dice settings school, and courses that teach you how to set and throw the dice a certain way are pseudo science. IMHO.
  
• If a shooter is hot, try to avoid playing bets that is going to chew up the dealer(s) time and slow the game, and his roll down.
