Dice setting is a way for the shooter on a crap game to arrange the dice before sending them into orbit. Some players like to set the dice on seven (6-1, 5-2 or 4-3) before the come-out roll. Some players like to set them on the pass line number (4,5,6,8,9,10).
In most casinos, if you set the dice quickly, the stickman won't care, but if you take a long time, they will tell you not to set the dice. Not because they are afraid of your ability to control the outcome of the dice, but because they want to get the next roll in.
The first shooter, well, he kept fiddling with the dice and eventually the stickman told him a couple times to "hurry up" and he said he wanted to get the dice on 5-5 before shooting them. After that, each time the stickman retrieved the dice, he set them on 5-5 and sent them back to the shooter. Problem solved. He proceeded to make the ten and about a dozen other points during a 40-minute hand. Awesome!
At the other end of the table was a fellow who professed to have a "system." He set the dice quickly and arranged them as it should be to what his point was. During a two-hour session he got the dice four times and his longest hand was three points.
Because he rarely bet entirety but the pass line with odds, and only bet a decent amount on himself, he was one of the few players at the table who wasn't rock'in with chips. And, while making low house start bets helps your bankroll most of the time, it isn't as much fun. I maybe made 50 bets on "eleven," which has a huge house advantage, but it only cost me $8 during a two hour session. I was having fun, I can eat the $8.
Even with his setting and "special" arm shifting to control the dice, his session was lousy. I don't mention this to say dice control doesn't work, only that anybody can have a good session and anybody can have a crappy session.
If you want to try dice setting and control, great, but keep track of your sessions before you ever try it - and then play several dozen times after putting in the time to learn. Then, compare your notes. And then, let me know how it goes. I might even print some results here.
I know a lot of sap card counters who have been winning constant money for years. I'm waiting for just a few dice setters to prove they have similar results. Anybody?
