Terry,

I like your posts and 'all, and I agree that dice setting sounds utterly implausible. However, i really think if someone actually took the time to become proficient at "dice setting" (if such a thing were possible) they would also take the time to work out the social engineering / camoflage such that they would not arouse suspicion.

Whilst a "non-compliant" throw will allways arouse suspicion, surely you could be more subtle: E.g. make small pass line bets as soon as you arive at the table. Initially make non-suspect throws. When you feel the time is right right, set the dice and signal to your "Big Player" to make a decent size bet, etc. It would also help if you targetted a semi-clueless casino/floor.
