Dice setting follow up.

I went out for a second dice session, where I would be testing my dice setting and throwing skills. As you might recall from my first post about this I won around $65 the first time I tried it.

Didn't have that kind of luck this time. I was back to the Club Cal-Neva in downtown Reno, at the same $3 minimum table. As before I bought in with $60, but this time I had  inconsistent results. I set the dice the same way as before with the five and the one touching each other in the center of the of the two dice stack. I sevened out immediately after getting my first point. I was never up at any time during the session.

I was the only one at the table, so of course I was the only shooter. I played for about half an hour, occasionally having a decent run, hitting some points, but then I'd seven out and lose it all. I finally walked away from the table with around $20, making me a $40 loser. Oh well.

I'm still not convinced that this dice setting/controlling thing is real.  Of course I certainly don't consider myself an expert at it, yet, having tried it for the very first time just two days ago. I'm sure with practice I will be able to throw the dice on a more consistent basis, which I think is the key to making this work. But one thing still bothers me.

You know how they have those little diamond shaped things on the wall of craps table? (I'm going to call it diamond plate, even though it's not made of metal.) They're not just there for looks. They're there so that when the dice  hit them they fly off the wall in a very random pattern. And they do a really good job of it, too.

So yes, you can control the dice. If, and I emphasize the word if, you're willing to spend thousands of hours learning the proper grip and the proper throwing technique. And perhaps it is possible to make both dice rotate consistently on a single axis as they fly down the table. But your only chance of controlling which numbers do and don't come up is to not have them at the back wall, where the aformentioned diamond plate will cause them to bounce in very random ways when they come off the wall.  And hittingng the far wall is something that the house requires you to do.

So like I said, at this point I'm still not convinced one way or another. I will continue to do research and let you know how it goes.
