There are exceptions
to most rules. That’s what makes life interesting.
In craps, the only exception to the above rules
(those rules being it is always best to bet the
Pass/Come with full odds or as much in odds as you
can afford) is an area of craps play I have been
exploring for some dozen years now.
This
area has nothing to do with “betting or hedging
systems” overcoming the math, but it does have
to do with shooters who are changing the nature of the
game due to some physical control of the dice. These
shooters are dubbed “rhythmic rollers” (also
known as dice controllers) since they seem to have a
set pattern to their rolls consisting of a careful setting
of the dice and a consistent, soft delivery that allows
the dice to die when they reach
and “touch”
the back wall.
To be sure, most players
who set the dice are emphatically not rhythmic rollers.
I’ve seen players who take extraordinary care
setting their numbers just so -- before winging
the dice down the table where they bang the back
wall and bounce all over the place. That kind of
throw is strictly random and cannot affect the house
edge one bit.
I have covered the ins and outs, pros and cons,
of such “advantage-play” craps in my book
Forever Craps: The Five-Step Advantage Play Method!
I also teach dice control in my Golden Touch Craps
dice control classes. It is a method that physically
overcomes the house vig by influencing the outcome
of your roll. It’s a tough skill to learn and
takes a lot of practice, something most craps players
are not interested in. Most craps players are looking
for magic bullets and quick fixes; dice control
is just too much work for them. After all, dice
control is a skill, not a system.
Still, for just about every player in just about
any craps game, the tried (Pass/Come with odds)
is the true. It’s the high fence and the apple
a day that can keep that horrible house edge at
bay. If you have been playing the wrong way all
these years, switch right now because -- better
late than never!
