If you play long enough and hit the hard way enough, they will be pretty happy with you. Never press untill you have earned money off the point bet (so you at least break even and are not in the hole). Allways minimize your pass or don't pass bet, and maximize your odds bet. That is where the money is.

This is pretty much my craps strategy as well. However, I usually don't play the hard ways until I'm up quite a bit.
I like playing 'big red' on the come out roll and usually win more than I lose on that bet - but I don't play it every come out, just when I have a 'hunch' or again when I'm ahead.
I love craps. Best result was $1,400 at Mandalay Bay a couple years ago at a $10 min table. There's nothing more exciting than a hot craps table.
