Please remember! These are archives! The Dice Setter message board was shut down. What is published here are just a few of the threads documenting the early days of dice setting strategies and opinions written by the pioneers of dice influencing. Would You Do It All Over Again? Irishsetter Knowing what you know NOW. Would you have started down the dice setting path if you'd realized how much practice and dedication it would take to become a dice influencer? Has it been worth it? (Not just financially, but also has it been personally satisfying?) Engineer Irish, Irishsetter Engineer, Dylanfreak Yeah Irish I would do it again----I have only been going to casinos for less than 2 years----And only seriously dice setting since last fall------During that 2 years I have discovered a culture that I didn't know anything about---Gambling-----and a subculture of craps that I found very frustrating at first and still it has its good times and bad-----dicesetting and tossing-----but I have fun practicing those sets and tosses and since I have a bankroll that is only for gambling, albeit a small one , my experiences in casinos have been quite pleasant----yeah I'd do it again------ Mad Professor Hmmm, good question. Heavy I'm having too much fun to have second thoughts. roadrunner Life at dice was a bi**h until I started using Zekes dice sets a few years ago. Quite frankly I was losing my a**. The setting brought better hands but the RR betting was killing me. It took a while but from what I learned from dicesetter.com, PARR and applying some of the other info I have come across it all is coming together. My practice time is not what it should be but I play about 60-80 hours a month. I've shot the dice in a casino 7000+ times this year and + is more than my -. Shotputter I could say this about a lot of things, but
I wish I knew 10-15 years ago what I know now about dice setting. Shooter57 YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Actually cant remember when I wasn't studying the game in some manner or aspect. A smooth easy rhythmic throw has been part of my play for a long time .Pre setting is the icing on the cake. JustMikeF You could probably fill a 4 year college
curriculum with what most experienced players have had to learn just to be able to break
even in this game, if they were diligent in their lab classes. Add a year or two of
precision throwing for your Masters, if you didn't let the math totally control your game,
you might make $100 a week at professional craps. A few more years of experience to know
what it takes to be a consistent shooter and player as an intern. I haven't met
anyone who isn't still a practicing Doctor, that has come that far. Steve As the dice are released and floating together in a perfect
arc, a really good feeling comes over me, maybe that is the muscle memory thing. Hinduman Irish, rhythm dice setter It is a challenge to win. So anything that helps to your advantage is paramount. Besides it is relaxing when you know that you minimize the risks. Dice setting is only part of the equation. Control and money management factors in. Just like the stock mkt, don't be greedy and take your profits and be happy. I adhere to the old but true adage of 'PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT'. The satisfaction from winning brings on relaxation and avoid nervousness when shooting. Golfer In a heartbeat. This is still pretty experimental to me. I've put in
some practice time, but not a whole lot of actual casino time. That is a problem for
me, because the closest casinos aren't all that close, and, to my mind, not that good, at
least compared to Vegas. NoFieldFive Absolutely!!!!! MickeyD I've been playing craps on and off somewhere between 8
& 10 years. I threw the dice as a random roller for the first six months and
astutely realized it was an exercise in frustration. From that point on whenever I
played I would pass the dice and bet on the trends or shooter capabilities.
This past fall I saw a dice setter in action, went on the net to check it out and found
the Irishsetter. Having now experienced, first hand, how dice setting and precision
shooting can alter the random outcome of the game, I'm totally immersed! Like many
others here, I wish I knew then what I know now! But like Irishsetter said, it's
hard work, as most of you know. I have set aside time each and every day since
finding this site working to become the best that I can be at this discipline and it is
completely and totally satisfying. It's hard work for sure but when you like what
you're doing you don't see it as such. It's just a pleasure to do and rewarding for
both the monetary gains (when they come) and, most importantly for me, the ability to
master a physco-physical challenge. Long Arm I would start earlier. I knew about
dice setting and precision shooting in the early 80s, had it showed to me two or three
times in the 80s and never took it seriously until about 6 years ago. daveygene do it over again. I'm just starting. Mother's Day I'll turn 77, and never spent as much time in casinos as I'd like because I HATE TO LOSE, but I do like to play. Without practice, I do better than I used to, still make most of my money from others, coming out, make that a two-way on big red. Dave ONLY REGRET IS DIDN'T FIND THIS SOONER. DON'T KNOW WHEN WEBSITE BEGAN, OR EVEN HOW LONG SETTING HAS BEEN AROUND. IF I HAD STARTED THIS 5 YEARS AGO, I WOULD BE MUCH BETTER BY NOW. WHILE AVOIDING THE SUPERMAN COMPLEX, IT IS STILL GOOD TO KNOW THAT WHEN WE TEAM PLAY CHARTING A TABLE IS REALLY UNNECESSARY. I HAVE HAD RESERVATIONS ABOUT THE 5 COUNT AND MANY OTHER STRATEGIES TRYING TO DEFY RANDOM FOR A LONG TIME. I BELIEVE THE AUTHORS ARE NOW MAKING MONEY SELLING BOOKS WHILE THE SETTERS ARE WORKING FOR OUR MONEY ON THE TABLES. HARD WORK AND LONG HOURS FOR POSITIVE RESULTS - AT ONE TIME THAT WAS THE AMERICAN WAY, WE SETTERS STILL BELIEVE IN IT. KRUE Hell Yeah its been worth it!!! Glenn I am also new to setting bout 2 months now, but am going thru trial and error on my charting. But last night while setting the flying V for 150 rolls I liked the way my sheet looked and will make me one with excel spreadsheet. Also reading the 2 color dice helped with which one was doing what. A ? the left die landed on 1 - 38 times , am going to toss all the sets 150 and then start over. LOVE THIS!! Engineer Irishsetter, Mr. Tech Well I can't do it all over again since I haven't done it the first time. I read in one of Scoblete's books about his rhythm rolling and getting in a zone, etc. I bought some dice and piddled around but couldn't tell any difference. I tied throwing V3s in LV and couldn't tell any difference. I had my best luck using John Patrick's betting systems. Then on JP's sight I read about this sight and spend some time reading everything on here. I bought Yuri's book and Rolling Thunder. I did a practice session on my knees in the hall and had a SSR of 13.4 to1. (I could barely get out of bed the next day) So I'm damn sure going to give it a try. I don't have a box yet. I have been practicing by trying to throw to a small spot on the bed. Man I sure wish I had been on the system when the PARR deal was held a couple of months ago. So would I do it all over again? My guess is in a couple of years, I will say a definite YES.
