Realistic expectations for skilled shooters!!!

Setting and influencing the dice roll is just part of the picture. To beat the dice you have to know how to bet the dice. Whether you call it a "system," a "strategy," or just a way to play - this is the place to discuss it.

Wow! this thread has way too much to read. Let's just say that any number repeated more than once is a good average for skilled shooters. One can profit quite well from just a few repeated numbers.

Ah, but here's the rub. You have to practice enough at home - tracking your rolls - to know what your "signature" numbers are with the various sets you prefer. Then, when you get to the casino, you need to chart to verify that those numbers are, indeed, working for you that day. Otherwise, IMHO, you have to follow the dice.

I've been using the Mini-v set forever at the tables rolling more 10's/Hard 10's, 9's, 6's, & 5's averaged in that order along with quite a few 3's over 11's. my only adjustment made to cater to my rolling style was simply to lean the v-2's forward showing 4-6 at the top and 5's facing me. I havn't changed this type of roll for quite some time and do pretty well with catching 4 number firebets,

I adjust the dice probabilities also in wincraps to cater to signature numbers.

CG,

This is a TWO-page thread! If you deem that 'too much to read'; then you are likely going to continue doing a whole lot of needless wheel re-inventing in the future.

You better do your homework before taking your hard earned money and throwing it away at the craps table. Take it for what it's worth.
Read everything you can on this forum and soak as much as you can. It will save you lots of money.
Unless you have a money tree in the back yard and money is of no worth to you. In that case.. Call me I have a business proposition for you :lol: :lol:

Gargoil,

Like that other smartest guy on the dumb row from Vegas that graces us with his mere presence from time to time, Crapsgenius is not here to learn. He is here to "learn" us mere mortal craps players about all the things he has discovered that we have no capabilities to comprehend.

AHigh, the internet's [third] favorite craps whipping boy.

I think you took realtime's post a little too serious - he was agreeing with you and just saying that CrapsGenius's posts aren't so "genius," while simultaneously jabbing AHigh.

But I am here to learn' i feel I've wasted 20 years of playing craps, what's another 20 years. :) I can not teach until I win 10k 3 times in a row at the craps table.
