Default Re: Craps: Any validity in precision shooting?

The OP asked the question of setting the dice or precision shooting. I said it doesnt matter what anyone does with the dice before they shoot. Its all variance and Luck. No skill involved whatsoever.

You are wrong. Magicians have trained themselves - to just quote a random example not using dice - to take a regular playing card and 'pass' it back in forth with their fingertips held shoulder-width apart.

Literally, push a playing card with an index finger back and forth btw hands, over a 2' wide space, no tricks, no wires, no strings. It took Ricky Jay 8-10 years of practicing an hour every day to master that skill.

The same dedication applied to dice throwing, hitting below the knobbed pyramids, would certainly become somewhat non-random, adjusting for huge variance, of course. Most people won't spend 3650 hours perfecting this skill though, and eventually the casino would step in if you always hit the low part of the wall and won.
