Great question - What all craps shooters look for are short term
variants from the odds. We all know that in an infinite number of
rolls 7's, 6's, 5,s...all numbers will come up a definite number of
times, however, no one is going to stay at a craps table for an
infinite period of time. Therefore, we all look for the short-term
variations in the odds and label this a "lucky streak".

Craps shoooters also have some weird superstitions and beliefs that
when performed correctly bring a luck streak swooping into a table. My
favorite one of these involve the Sweedish bikini
team......err......maybe I should go into that now.

Remeber streak = variant

Good luck
