Part 1 of a 5-part Series on Dice Setting and Dice Control

Introduction

In this 5-part series, I will describe how to attain an advantage in casino craps by using dice setting and dice control. I'll discuss the issues of whether or not an advantage can actually be achieved, present some ideas for how to prove to yourself that an advantage exists, and teach you how to attain and exploit an advantage by using dice setting and dice control.

Knowledgeable gamblers have long recognized "The Big 4" - blackjack, poker, sports betting and thoroughbred racing - as the standard games in which an astute player can actually turn the odds in his favor and achieve an advantage over the casino.

But what about craps with its 1.4% house advantage? Can an advantage actually be achieved, the house odds overturned, at casino craps?

Yes.

In this first of a series of five articles on Dice Setting and Dice Control, let's start by defining just what an advantage is. If you're flat betting, i.e., betting the same amount on even money bets on each roll of the dice or spin of the wheel or blackjack hand, you gain an advantage over the casino by winning more bets than you lose. If you're varying your bet size, you attain an advantage by knowing when you enter the advantage arena and, thus, when to increase your bet size. Put another way, if a system cannot beat the casino by flat betting on even money bets, or detect and exploit an advantage when one occurs, it is not an advantage system.

Casino craps is an easy game to learn and the only game where you, the player, can create your own advantage over the casino and hold your winning destiny right in your own hands.  

This differs from blackjack where you have no control over the shuffle or the order of the cards in the shoe.  Your craps edge using dice control differs from roulette where you have no control over the croupier's spin of the wheel or the release of the ball.

In casino craps, you hold the dice and how you set them, grip them and throw them determines the advantage you can achieve.  In other words, you have control!

Let's start with the basics.  If you're not familiar with the rules of play, think of craps this way: Holding the dice in your hand, you throw them down the table, hit the back wall and they come to rest. If they land on a 7 you lose; if they land on a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, you win if you are betting on those numbers; if they land on 2, 3, 11, 12, you neither win nor lose.

Now, think of the power you would possess if you could throw the dice to avoid the losing 7. That's what dice control is all about -- to set and throw the dice in such a way as to avoid the losing 7 during the point cycle when your objective is to repeat the number you threw on the first roll of this series - called the "come out" roll.

Mastering dice control will give you to power to walk up to a craps table knowing that you have an excellent chance of creating a hot table, that when your turn comes to pick up the dice, you will throw number after number without the losing seven showing, collecting profits on almost every roll of the dice. Not every time, but often enough to collect winnings, sometimes substantial winnings, before throwing the losing seven and handing the dice to the next shooter for his turn.
