A scientific expierement to determine if it is possible to "set dice" at a craps table
    #7574883 - 10/29/07 10:45 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

over the years of traveling through Nevada, i have stopped at a fair share of casinos, and have heard strategy and superstitions of every type.

The bottom official story seems to be that there is no real way to over come the house edge, with the rare exception of cheaters and excessively smart people, the MIT blackjack team to name one in particular.

So today a friend and I started discussing the concept of dice controll, physically setting the dice before throwing them to gain a higher incidence of a certain number.

this lead to me considering scientifically prove that dice control is possible, or not. In other words, a controlled expirement

first i needed to calculate the number of starting configurations for the dice...

one die has 6 numbers. for each of the 6 numbers, it can be rotated 4 different ways so that a certain number is showing on the 'back' side of the die.

that would leave each individual number on the dice with 4 ways it could be shown. thus a single die with 24 possible configurations (4x6)
multiplying this by 2 dice would lead to 576 possible 2 dice combinations (24x24)

now to test the theory we would also have to include a number of different techniques for throwing the dice. For arguments sake, we will consider 4 different techniques for throwing the dice, the techniques are somewhat irrelevant for this discussion.

This would leave us with 1304 individual throws of the dice, throwing each one of the 576 individual configurations of a pair of dice, once with each technique.

however to develop any sort of a trend, we would have to throw the dice many times, Im going to go ahead and assume that 100 throws per configuration, per method, would suffice to see if any of the configurations and dice settings showed a higher or lower than average percentage of any particular number. however that amounts to a grand total of

130,400 rolls of the dice.

now assuming that it would be possible to make 8 throws a minute, with a 3 person team, one throwing, one setting up the dice, and one removing and recording the results. working 10 hours a day, this could be accomplished in just over 27 days.

Any set of throws that showed a non statistical percentage of a certain numbers appearance could be investigated further.

What do you all think?

I know that this does not take into account the 'pyramid' shaped end of the craps table, nor the obstacles of bets in the way of the dice, however these obstacles are able to be overcome.

also i will throw in this little tid bit of information, it would seem that if one was able to produce one non random roll in a set of 43 rolls that it could eliminate the house edge....

Quote:

There are 36 combinations that can be made from of pair of dice. There are six ways that a seven can be made. This means that with a random roll the mathematical probability of a seven appearing will be once in every six rolls, which is a Sevens to Rolls Ratio (SRR) of 6. The house edge is calculated with this ratio. If you throw the dice 42 times and roll seven 7's you have a Sevens to Rolls Ratio of 6. (42/7 = 6) If however you have one non-random roll and throw seven 7's in 43 rolls you have an SRR of 6.14 this is enough to negate the house edge on the 6and 8 place bets. Just one controlled throw out of every 43 rolls of the dice would eliminate the house edge and yield a break-even game.




What do yall think?

Well, I know when I shoot I always line my dice up as a 4 and a 3, in hopes that a 4 and a 3 dont come up. Its more supersition than anything. I was playing online craps tables the other night, and got to thinking. I wondered how often trip sevens, or quad sevens came up. So I manically spent Saturday night writing a java program that recorded the sum of two randomly generated numbers, simulating dice at an online casino.

I found that sevens were called




===================================================
0x total called: 208118
0 Times AVG DIF: 1

1x total called: 34787
1 Times AVG DIF: 7

2x total called: 5904
2 Times AVG DIF: 42

3x total called: 1001
3 Times AVG DIF: 249

4x total called: 156
4 Times AVG DIF: 1584

5x total called: 30
5 Times AVG DIF: 7965

6x total called: 4
6 Times AVG DIF: 55690

7x total called: 0
8x total called: 0
9x total called: 0




The sample size for that was 250,000. I've run it at 500mil a couple times now, so I've ran the simulation over 2billion times. The results are rather consistent.

I am going to write another progam soon where I calculate profit/or loss with a certain betting start over X rolls. my data thus far says that if I put Y amount of money on 4-10 after a seven is rolled four times in a row I will be up over 1 million rolls. But I haven't taken into account 2,3,11 yet. But maybe I could work out something out. not sure. 5 sevens in a row does happen, and even 10. I know they say that statiscaly a new role reset probablity, but on a sample size of 700million+ I only rolled 10 7's in a roll once, and 9 in a row twice.

I had a paper with all my notes on it somewhere, but I can't find it right now. goodluck. I enjoy a good craps game, with a good shooter. fast paced, and free drinks, and sometimes a good deal of money...sometimes.

yeah there have been people that can control dice rolls. the guy who invented card counting and who figured out how to predict roulete wheels mentions a story about a guy who could do it in one of his books.

the story is:

at an event for people studying gambling, this guy was giving private demonstrations that he could control the dice.
he was found dead in an alley later that year.

i've heard it can be done, but would take years or practice and is akin to being able to hit a bullseye on a dartboard from 100 feet away.


good luck with all that.

Chaos will tend to make your predictions more and more wrong :wink:

The dice have very small imperfections in them...and that means each die has it's own unique (or almost) way of rolling.

I saw an episode of Masterminds where a guy mastered exactly what your talking about, than started training a team to do it. He said very few people had the skills to pull it off, but a few of them did, and with enough practice they were able to have a huge house advantage
The casinoes caught on, but because they were using skill, and not really cheating, they allow this guy to come and clean them out once a year.

That wasn't dice though...it was the MIT Blackjack Team. They one at blackjack by using mathematical rules and learning to count cards.

no it was dice. they'r are a lot of episodes of masterminds that deal with people who have learned how to beat the odds, and cheat the casinos.
From the mit blackjack team, to the dice crew, to a guy that jacked millions of dollars from slot machines over the years.

I would have to agree that it is possible. It is just straight physics.

but i think that a large scale scientific test as i mentioned above, with over 130,000 rolls could lead to a somewhat more solid conclusion.

I wonder how much a casino craps table would cost?

I used to know a sleaze ball who rolled his dice in a prescribed manner to get more sixes, fives and fours than any other rolls. There was also a large chance to get either a one or a two, I can't recall.

The way he did it was to grip the dice in between his thumb and index finger with the six facing up. Then when he would throw the die, he would flick it with his grip towards himself all while trying to keep the thing vertically intact, so that the numbers on the sides of the die don't come into play and he has a greater chance of getting one of the higher numbers or in a rare chance one low number. This mutherfucker used this shit all the time and I can't even begin to recount how many sixes this guy rolled. I even took up the practice because it really works, for fun related things that is. In a casino, I doubt it. Do they have some sort of rules as how you can throw the dice?

"Do they have some sort of rules as how you can throw the dice?"

They have to bounce off the other side of the table like 4-6 feet away.

This idea isn't new. But it also isn't well known within the casino industry which makes it alluring.

I've been to a dice control seminar in Tunica, MS. Frank Scoblete, who is the best selling gambling author in the country wrote a book about these guys and what they do. It's pretty remarkable. And the book is a great read. It's called "The Craps Underground".

It's also unbelievably challenging to do right. That's why it's not such a huge threat to the casinos. It takes an enormous amount of practice, a huge bankroll, and an ability to tune out the casino environment while rolling.

Don't forget to take into account for colliding dice and bouncing off a textured backboard.

Most table games have a flaw. I learned this in roulette but I don't see why other table games wouldn't work.
In roulette there are 6 bets that are groups of 12 numbers. these bets pay 2:1 and have a 1 in 3 chance of winning so you have decent odds. (this will work with any bet on the table but the math is a little different for each bet)
  • place a bet (ex. $5)
  • LOSE double ur bet ($10)
    WIN go back to step 1 you won ($10) that's ($5) to cover ur bet plus ($5) pocket $$$
  • LOSE double ur bet ($20)
    WIN go back to step 1 you won ($20) that's ($5) to cover ur first bet plus ($10) for ur second bet plus ($5) pocket $$$



continue in similar fashion as long as you can double your losing bet w/ a 2:1 pay out you can come out ahead. Obviously you need enough $$$ to keep doubling your losing bets but w/ a 1 in 3 chance and the law of averages you're in better shape than playing random #s

I never said it was unbeatable but my system still works w/ 0 and 00 they don't change a single thing I still have a 1 in 3 chance of hitting my #s and I still get a 2:1 pay out when I do.

no you dont have a 1 in 3 chance of hitting,

youre chance of hitting a 2:1 pay off bet is actually 12:38 or
1 in 3 and 2/3. if im doing my math right

there are 38 numbers on that table, 00 , 0 + 1-36
the house always has an edge on every bet you make on the roulette table, and also every bet on the craps table, and any bet made on any game in the whole casino....

oi.

but realistically i don't think that there has been an independent review of craps strategy as i am proposing here, ever done. and as i would be doing the rolling i think that after 130,000 some rolls i would have a damn good chance of being able to throw them quite well.

also as for the distance that the dice would need to be thrown, that can be manipulated by ones position at the craps table... basically being right next to the stick man will give you the shortest distance to throw. thus less distance to control.

another thing that i once experienced at a late night road side casino is that on rare occasion smaller casino's will only use half of a craps table, putting a wooden block across the middle of the table so that one casino employee can run the game. setting and controlling the dice in a situation like this would be immensely easier with only 3 feet to throw the dice. I only wish i remembered where the hell that had happened, somewhere in northern Nevada i'm sure.....

0-36 (in European table)
0-36 + 00 (in American table)
?-?? (French table)
OK there is a fraction of a chance, I simplified things because most people find it hard to understand. I could take the fraction into account (I choose not to) and I can play any other bet on the table too but that also requires adding fractions to each bet (still possible) I usually go make $25 at a table (just 5 wins) and leave that table then I may or may not play roulette again that night but I end up w/ a free night at the casino

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martingale_%28roulette_system%29
Suppose that someone applies the martingale betting system at an American roulette table, with 0 and 00 values; on average, a bet on either red or black will win 18 times out of 38. If the player's initial bankroll is $150 and the betting unit is $10, he can afford 4 losing bets in a row (of $10, $20, $40, and $80) before he runs out of money. If any of these 4 bets wins he wins $10 and wins back any past losses. The chance of losing 4 bets in a row (and therefore losing the complete $150) is (20/38)4 = 7.67%. The remaining 92.3% of the time, the player will win $10. We will call this one round (playing until you have lost 4 times or until you win, whichever comes first). If you play repeated rounds with this strategy then your average earnings will be (0.923·$10) − (0.0767·$150) = −$2.275 per round. Therefore, you lose an average of $2.275 each round. However, if the gambler possesses an infinite amount of money, the expected return is (18/38)*b per roll (where b is the initial bet). With an initial bet of $10, the expected return is thus $4.736 per roll.

"You cannot beat a roulette table unless you steal money from it."-Albert Einstein

There is no sure fire way to beat the casino if there was they wouldn't be in business I just do what I can to give myself an edge,... It's sounds like you're trying to do the same

Because the betting limits reduce the casino's short term variance, the martingale system itself does not pose a threat to the casino, and many will encourage its use, knowing that they have the house advantage no matter when or how much is wagered.





from the same article. overall regardless of a betting system on a truly random game of chance the house will always win.

regardless were talking about craps here, good ol dice.

mark my words, if i have over $50,000 to blow, i will be buying a craps table for around $3000 and preforming this study on it.

"in times of widespread chaos and confusion, it has been the duty of more advanced human beings - artists, scientists, clowns, and philosophers - to create order. In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption"

also, martingale systems don't work because some percent of the time you lose every time you double your bet up to the cap of the table, and that exactly evens out however much you would make every time you don't get a losing streak, then you minus the house edge and your'e still losing money.

but realistically i don't think that there has been an independent review of craps strategy as i am proposing here, ever done. and as i would be doing the rolling i think that after 130,000 some rolls i would have a damn good chance of being able to throw them quite well.





Did you not see my message? This idea already exists. There are several books written about it and even some seminars. You don't need to do all this research yourself because it has already been done. Look up "The Craps Underground" and Golden Touch Craps to see what I mean.

I played at a table completely full of dice setters one time, while I was at the seminar. It was pretty damn cool. We all won but not crazy amounts.

I am still friends with one of the guys who runs the seminar. They go to Vegas regularly to do this. They make supplemental income but it is extremely volatile and they don't make a living from it. This dude has a full size craps table in his house that he practices with almost every day.

CosmicFool, you truly are a cosmic fool!


The house has the advantage, NOT YOU.
