Well ... I finally went to the casino and played at a genuine craps table for the first time. I had previously bought a set of AAA grade casino style dice so I could try and develop a more consistent throw at home before going.
I managed to get to the table during a lull and was able to slowly try throwing and betting in a full casino environment. Then the table got crowded. Between different shooters my funds bounced up and down around what I paid in. Then suddenly the dice were given back to me.
On one hand, I somewhat panicked ... I did not like the thought of several people betting on my untested throwing skills. At the same time, many hundreds of practice throws made sure I knew the motions to make. This combination led me to use just a single pairing of the dice the entire time (14/45) - no tricks, no high risk shots ... just avoiding the seven.
Wow! I did not count but I am somewhat sure I had at least 20 throws [it includes three sets of a few to several throws that ended successfully and a fourth set with some throws that finally sevened out]. I actually had the crowd applauding me. I managed to complete the All-Low side bet. It looked like I knew what I was doing ... and we all made some money.
I know that one time at a table means nothing statistically ... but I do think dice setting makes a difference ... and for those who eventually have strong dice control, it would be even better. I enjoyed my start down this path and I think it will be useful in the future.
