curious now. Are there any BJ courses that are given at any casinos?
I was thinking the same thing. It would probably be a good idea on the part of the casinos. Imagine if Stanford Wong gave such a course and all the attendees immediately rushed out to the casino floor to try their new-found "skills."
I always thought the casino-provided roulette and baccarat note cards were a brilliant idea. Hold casino-sanctioned controlled-shooting dice courses, give out BS cards, and maybe even put up meters that show when a slot machine is due for a win! If ethics aren't an issue (and in casino marketing, they're usually not), then these are all fantastic money-generating ideas.
The last time I played Craps was, coincidentally, on this day, January 3rd, several years ago, just after midnight. And I had such a ridiculous run of luck, Hollywood Dave wrote about it in his book. I have not played one hand of Craps since. Why would I? I left a winner, and ain’t going to try a repeat an event of pure luck.

the hard ways set and the gtc throw are both wrong. If I briefed you on the reasoning and gave you a demonstration you would probably reconsider. No amount of throws would be statistical proof, but knowing what to look for and just seeing it a few times would make you a believer.The last time I played Craps was, coincidentally, on this day, January 3rd, several years ago, just after midnight.

the house generally doesn't care about me and sees me as a shill unless except for the rare properties that are sharp enough to understand but consider my action to large.
Why no one grinding craps for big money? mid sized casinos do back me off. Consider how many people are winning poker/bj players but always bust because they don't understand kelly criterion. Same happens with craps but worse. professional sports bettors and pool hustlers exist too, their just rare and not trying to blow up their spot. Same with craps.
Okay I will give you a simple test to prove you wrong, if you could throw the dice 300 times a day over a year period at your house (you can think of it as practice sessions), that is about 100K throw if done over a year. Record the data from every throw and then generate a distribution of the totals obtained, with 100000 throws the numbers should match to the third decimal. So for instance the profitability of getting a total of 2 is 1/36 or 0.0277777, with a 100K throw simulation of a random throw, the frequency you obtain for a total of 2 is 0.027... meaning it matches the theoretical frequency to the third decimal, if the frequency you get from your distribution is different on the third decimal then maybe we will start believing in dice control.
I heartily agree. I have placed exactly 5 bets at roulette in my entire life, and won them all for a total of $3,000. They were all the result of steaming behavior, in other words, stupid bets. Like you, my intention is to never again place a bet at roulette. My hope is we grow wiser with age.The last time I played Craps was, coincidentally, on this day, January 3rd, several years ago, just after midnight.

2nice: "hey, there's a million dollars in your basement"
Bjplayers: "prove it"
2nice: "im just saying, if you get a chance go down and check it out. saw it thru the basement window while chasing my dog. How long till someone else gets it?"
Bjplayers: "not until you prove it. burden is on you"
2nice: "hey I don't care. I just have heard rumors other people know and might take it. I'm just trying to give you a heads up"
bjplayers *slam door in face* "idiot, this is the second person I thought was trustworthy to tell me this bull****"
If you just make passline bets and come bets with odds and your rolls are just a bit longer than normal your action would be automatically skewed towards the non-7 numbers (points) you are most likely to make. You could not make incorrect bet choices, the dice would select the numbers on which you have the action automatically.
As I recall, SW did keep records, but he admitted they were no where near sufficient to prove DC. All you say is sound theoretically. However, my guess is that many of these "runs" are either fictitious or a product of variance alone. Again, if I could control the dice, I'm sure it would look so pretty that I would be 86-ed in short order.
I know a dice man who has won millions Vegas, but if he ever had DC, he sure is having trouble putting it together today. I think he was getting away with sliding the dice when he won millions, which is a proven method of DC, but hitting the pyramids in the air and still getting a non-random result-- well, you might just say I'm from Missouri.
Dice men are gamblers and gamblers eventually have big hits. It's in there DNA. One gambler I know (I won't divulge his name) walked into a casino with a friend to consume a comped gourmet meal. He had $11,000 in his pocket. He said, "You want to see balls. Watch this!" He sauntered up to the Baccarat table, talked with the floor supervisor, then placed a bet for $10,000. He won that and 3 more, then went to the restaurant with $51,000 in his pocket. After the meal he said to his friend, "All I have is hundreds, could you leave a $20 tip?" "What the heck!" his friend said, "You just won $40,000 and you won't tip $100?!" lol His friend left a twenty. On the way out, he stopped by the Baccarat again and lost it all, including what he had brought. That's a gambler. They have the capacity to make large scores at the drop of a hat, and lose them just as fast. When shooters win big scores at dice, I always wonder how much they "invested" before their winning streak. But, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying DC is impossible, just that there is no proof to the best of my knowledge, and the obstacles to it being real seem awfully steep to me, unless of course, they let you get away with throws that don't bounce off the pyramids.
