Luck? I don't believe in luck.

I have one of those beautiful wives that just turns heads wherever she goes. At least I can attest that she turns *my* head!  :-)

We  have noticed an odd series of coincidences.  If I am ever doing well at the craps table and she walks up to check on how I am doing I immediately start to lose. It is just weird. This really puts a crimp in our gambling when we are at the casino.  I like to play craps and I lose miserably at blackjack and roulette so we do not see much of each other at the tables.

So, that is one thing but this next is just too weird.  I was playing during the best roll I had ever seen. The guy at the end of the table just kept rolling and rolling. This really raucous, but fun, guy was just across the corner from me. He was betting hard ways, Horns, the wild stuff. He was getting rich as I was just making money. So I was just making conversation when I said "wow this must be this guys 26th roll!"  You can guess what happened.  He rolled a seven. Seven out. Ouch. The crazy guy next to me yelled "You son of a bitch! I knew I should have called off my bets as soon as you said that!"   He cashed out and left in a huff. I cashed out and slunk away. How was I to know that was taboo?  Everyone is always yelling stuff at the craps table.

So live and learn. Don't jinx the roller by mentioning his roll. Never say the word "seven".  Keep your hands outside the table. Don't give money directly to the dealers, put it on the table in the Come area. So much to learn...

As for my beautiful wife, we are just going to have to overcome that nagging suspicion that she jinxes me!
