What's the deal with the craps ghost stories?

One of the best craps stories is about a beginner who was very nervous. He made a small bet on the pass line. The dice rolled and he got a natural 7 right away. He was so excited and his small bet turned into a nice win. It was his first time playing and that lucky roll made his day.

I'm not sure exactly. Maybe it's a stylistic choice or a detail related to character design.

There was this one time in Vegas at a craps table. A couple was on their honeymoon. They decided to try their luck at craps. The husband started rolling and at first, it wasn't going well. But then, he rolled a series of numbers that just kept winning. The whole table got excited. They ended up winning enough money to pay for a really fancy dinner and a show that night. It was like the craps table was their good luck charm on their honeymoon.

In my opinion, a best craps story has elements of surprise and excitement. It could be that you were about to lose all your money, but then with one final roll, you turned it all around. Or it might be that you were at a table with some really interesting characters and the whole experience of playing with them, along with the actual game play and its ups and downs, combined to create a story that you can't wait to tell others.

There was a group playing craps. One player was convinced that a certain way of blowing on the dice would bring good luck. He blew on them so hard that his false teeth flew out, which had everyone in stitches. Well, it was really funny because not only did he not get the lucky roll he expected, but he also had to search for his teeth among all the people and the craps table setup.

One element could be the risky bets. In craps, certain bets like the hardway bets can be part of the 'darkside' as they have a higher house edge.

Well, once I was at a casino. I bet on the pass line. The shooter rolled a 7 on the first roll. Everyone cheered. Then he kept rolling and got some amazing combinations. It was like he was on fire. I ended up winning a good amount that night. It was really exciting as the energy in the craps table was just electrifying.

Once, I was at a casino and this guy was so excited to roll the dice in craps. He yelled out some crazy bet numbers and then threw the dice. They bounced all over the table and landed on a double one. He just laughed and said 'Well, that's one way to start!'

Sure. There was this one time when a player bet on the don't pass line. Everyone thought he was crazy as it's a less common bet. But the dice rolled in his favor multiple times. He made a good chunk of money just from that one bet. It was really unexpected.

A great Vegas craps story often involves some sort of comeback. Suppose a player is losing badly at the start. But then, through sheer determination and a bit of luck, they turn the tables. They start winning and not just a little but enough to make a significant impact. It could be paying off debts, or just having an amazing time after a rough start. And if there are shared emotions at the table, like when everyone is rooting for one player, that makes the story even more memorable.
