[And if your losing money, how much does it hurt the bottom line. At big properties probably barely a dent, unless they come in and win consistently everyday. This always bothers me about where I work. They sweat a $2000 deficit on the table. Also, a guy had a purple stolen from him. His own fault since he left his chips on the craps table. Surveillance caught it, but the guy doesn't wanna press charges and they won't reimburse him (which they don't really have to) but if he never comes back then they lost a lot more than 500. At least give the guy some free slot play.]


Are you saying it's his fault because he had chips sitting in the chip rail?
Is the theft really that bad is Vegas? If it was Vegas?

I Asked My GF what she thought about all this she said she is getting all hot and bothered just watching me read about this stuff. She said she was going to call over a few of her stripper friends. I asked really ? she walked a way and called me an idiot claiming holdem flop controllers are way sexier.

Awesome! I believe I'm the best Hold'em flop influencer there is. When you're done with her, send her my way. :)

I know NOTHING about craps. How to bet, throw the dice, nothing.

yep, you need some prep. Forget dice control for now.

I would start by viewing the Wizard's videos. You want to know etiquette and all that. I embarrassed myself my first time out some 30 odd years ago by knowing nothing.

search the internet for etiquette advice.

PS: after getting etiquette down, practice on the wizard simulator

Thanks for the links to the videos. I don't know how I missed them. Very informative.

Not sure what your referring to but I thought the video was very informative and met the needs of what I was looking for. Ahigh are your shows on YouTube? I know you mentioned something about needing a account to watch them live. Do you upload them to YouTube after they are recorded?

Yeah, not a criticism. Every time the scene cut, my gaze moved to a specific place and I continued looking at that one place.

here is the truth. in theory its possible

can anyone alive do it? most likely not. ( a robot arm might be able to get same outcome in a vacuum )

People who claim they can are lying. If they had the edge why would they "write books" and let everyone in on this million dollar secret?...oh yeah booksmakre more money than random dice.

variance will warp peoples perception of reality. The ones who fair best are the ones who can quit when variance is on the shitty side.

since a 7 is possible with every number on one dead die (meaning that if one di is laying at the end of the table with a 6 up then all the other di has to do is roll a 1) this in turn means then every time you roll you are trying to avoid one wall of the cube. How the F$#& can one do this if it twirls through the air bounces off the table and the back wall? Even a robot are that could throw the exact same throw every single time would have a hard time doing this.

Sell the "theory" of it frank. Dont tell us that its real because of the thousands of hours of craps you have played you had a few decent rolls. Even a drunk monkey can roll 25 rolls 1 in a 100 tries.

ill roll a few times now and see what happens

well i give up 22 rolls is best i could do. 55 to 1 of this happening. i did it in 19 tries so i would say im running a little better than average (good variance) does this mean i can control dice? Well im rolling them online so probably not.

really it means nothing, but one might say he is a dice genious and can control the dice when all he did was get lucky.

If i ran this test 1000s of times im sure i could pop up a roll that was over 50. My point is unless you can roll more consistently than the average in real tests and it be proven over and over again then all these claims are just false and should be ignored.

Selling theory and hope seems to work though, keep up the good work.

Good Luck.

Exactly. There is no consistency. I have been at real casino tables with many of the big names in "DI" and "DC" and no one is consistent. Even our resident expert and great player Ahigh lacks consistency.

However, as I have always said: keep trying, it doesn't hurt.

For those who wish to have such quick conclusions, those that you have arrived at are as good as any!

Congratulations for your well thought out conclusions. At least as well thought out as 5 minutes could muster anyway.

Since the critics did the same to me, how do I know you didn't just make up those numbers? I am just taking you at what you have said here, and there's so substantial evidence. I don't know who you are, and I have never met you. You've only posted a couple of times.

Basically everything you put there means pretty much nothing to me.

It might as well be an ad for Viagra.

When you start off saying "here is the truth:"

And "here" isn't capitalized, you start off with not much credibility at all in my book.

Just declaring something true might work on some as a sales pitch. But that's about all it is without any true and real evidence.

If I went into this much detail picking apart every person who wanted to say that they knew better than I about this stuff, I would be doing this forever.

But do you admit that I know more about this stuff than you do? Or do you believe that you are helping out a fellow like me somehow?

Truly I see absolutely nothing of additive value to the discussion about the theory and possibility from your post.

the big red flag is why if you knew where the treasure was hidden why would print out a map for everyone else?

I challenge you to have 30 random people throw against you over a big enough sample to rule out luck. and lets see how you fair against the rest.

1000 rolls total? this cant take that long, and even that sample size is very very small. Id like to see 20,000 rolls total, but who has time for that. ill be ok with 1000 rolls.

just track 7s only

your goal is to roll least amount of 7s possible.

the average person should roll 167 7s in 1000 rolls. AVERAGE. really hoping you can be in the 140-150 range consistently or better if you can really control the dice.

Here is what i envision
30 people throw 1000 each - record stats
frank, you throw 1000 times as many times as you feel you need to, obviously the more the better as it will give better results. hoping 10x 1000 then we can average, and since you can control the dice you should be under 167 consistently, really hoping under 150. if you stay under 150 over 10k rolls then you are the sharpshooter you claim to be. (i nezbit will believe if this happens)

Good luck sir, we all know you going to do it.

That's actually a decent challenge, but 30 is too many.
Just make it 5 random people, that should be enough
to get an idea that everybody in the challenge will
indeed be throwing random outcomes. Everybody..

This is something that Ahigh says frequently, one way or the other:

Quote: Ahigh

But do you admit that I know more about this stuff than you do?

Since Ahigh has blocked my posts, someone please ask him, what does he know that the rest of us don't know? What is this magic that he has discovered that eludes the rest of us?

Five is a good number of shooters, 1000 rolls each is not practical. Make it practical: 25 rolls each. Make the test simple: who can throw the fewest 7s or who can throw the most 6s and 8s.

Quote: AlanMendelson

This is something that Ahigh says frequently

I have an old friend with a female relative institutionalized for psychiatric care. He often says about some strangely acting person we encounter, "he/she needs her medication adjusted"... of course he is thinking about this relative, and his experience with her when he says this. The adjustment can really help! He used this expression so much we both started using it all the time. And it is modern times, you know, where lots of folks are walking around quite medicated in fact. The saying became a big joke with us.

So, all that to explain: I am starting to wonder if Aaron needs his medication adjusted. He has really gone off the deep end lately.

I think he had it built up in his head that he was
going to be the number one authority on DI. And
when it didn't work out as planned, he got
bitter and sarcastic. He wants recognition for
what he's done and its been a shock that there
are so many others who've been down the same
road with DI.

Since it has come up a couple of times, let me state here what kinds of drugs I (do and don't) take:

* I love sugar and caffeine. (Monster Energy and Coca Cola are my "drugs")
* I do not drink alcohol (in general) I might have 6 beers a year though
* I do not take any regular prescriptions (I have been sick lately and have taken NyQuil three or four times in the last week)
* I do not smoke
* I do not use any recreational drugs of any sort
* I have an inhaler for bronchitis that I use maybe ten times a month

Relatively infrequently, people will sometimes mention something about marijuana (yeah, I go by Ahigh, so it's not hard to imagine). But I am not a stoner and I don't have any prescriptions, nor do I need any.

You or anyone else thinking they can suggest what medication I need from my posts online are entertaining, but in all reality it stops there. And I do take offense to people who make comments about my mental condition as a result of my posts. If I am concerned for my mental condition, I will rely on people in the real world, not this fantasy land to decide if I should seek professional help. That being said, if you want to interact with me in the real world (like Teddy, Harley, SuperRick, TIMSPEED, or others) feel free to do that, and then I might listen to you if you want to tell me I need medication. Nobody in the real world has said anything about medicine. In general they all think I am fun to be around, and in general I am a damn happy person that does not need drugs or people telling me that I need drugs to make my life complete.

Watch my videos if you want to get a better idea of who I really am. I am one of the few people besides the Wizard is easy to find videos of him speaking so you can see what I am really like.

Until I can see a video of you speaking, I'm going to assume that you're more like some other people who used to bug the hell out of me. Although, for you it's really just this one comment and/or concern that you might have about me, not in general. I do appreciate your concern, but not the projection that I might need a prescription to "help" me somehow. I'm fine, bra.

This post comes across as a post of someone with no experience at all.

Here's what I am saying: the fact that you are such a new member of this forum combined with the singular statement: "this can't take that long" is plenty of evidence for anyone to just stop and laugh.

I did 200 rolls in an hour and fifteen minutes by myself. In a casino, 200 rolls is two hours.

Seriously, dude! I think you have no clue how amateurish your comments come across. EvenBob and Alan are definitely good company for you. At least compared to Alan though, it's not obvious you've been around that long.

Why don't you just WATCH all 200 of the throws that I just recorded on Tuesday .. at regular speed .. and then come back and say something that's not so obviously a fleeting thought in your brain that you think is worth posting up here (incorrectly).

Plenty of people commented that even 200 throws in one sitting was too much, and in general it is. Watch the SOOPOO challenge. I can do 200 throws in a sitting with not much problem, but that's about when I'm glad I'm done.

I really wish Ahigh would tell us what he knows that the rest of us don't know.

I guess I'm just a sucker for defending others, about who they are calling nuts, without ever meeting them.

Ahigh is one hell of a super intelligent guy that may have a sense of humor that most will not get, that's not his problem, it's the guys that don't get it!

I've been called every name in the book by some players that have never met me, on some of the boards that love to read fiction. When you have somebody that can't debate you because what they wrote was fiction, they start calling you name and their followers will jump on the bandwagon also.
Not to long ago there was a class in town, I was at the Paris looking for one of my high rolling buddies, when I was a young lady shooting from SR1 that was on a roll, I like how her shot look and thought about buying in, but using good table etiquette I didn't, I was going to let her roll continue, without stopping it for my buy-in. She was at the table with who I thought was her husband.

When the roll ended they were both gone, I had just bought into the game and the dice were only one player away from me, so I was going to shoot, when this guy that now had the dice 7 out. I was just starting to place a bet so I would get the dice after his roll and I notice that my mystery young lady shooter was going to buy-in on the table behind me. She was so good that I picked up my chips and bought in on her table.

Now the sad thing about this is that her husband came back to the table and she stepped out of the way so he could shoot, he had a very little roll and she passed the dice, as it turned out there was one guy on this table that got the dice and went on a roll, I was going to learn that I've read about him on a board before. Anyway I got the dice and had a great roll, when it was over my mystery young lady husband took off. I colored up and turn to walk away and bumped into the young lady, we got to talking and she tells me that she is in town to take a class, from one of the guys that will write BS about me. I tell her who I'm and let it go at that telling her she didn't need to take a class off anybody her shooting was so good. We both walked over to the cage and she tells me that she is now on her way to this class, but she doesn’t see her ride. As it turned out it wasn't her husband. So I tell her that I would give her a ride over to the class if she couldn't find him.

We turn the corner and there he is, he sees me with her and make the an introduction after telling how good my shooting was, this guy couldn't say enough good things about me. Well when he told me the name he uses on the boards, I could see that I was gong to have a good laugh with this one. He was one of these followers that never met me, but called me some names.

So I tell him I hear you two are going to take a class off of------, please tell him that you ran into superrick and what you though of my shooting. This guy was in a state of shock it was priceless to see the look on his face. I've seen this type of behavior many times before, people want to fit in and will jump on a bandwagon to do so. I shook his hand and told him that I hoped to run into him again on the tables.

Ahigh is going through the same kind of thing here, there are very few guys that have met him and yet you want to put him down for what he is writing and doing with his show.
You all say what he is doing when he is shooting is just luck and nothing else, I even say it looks random, but if I was on a table with him and he was rolling all those hard eights, I would be betting on him. He doesn’t want any help with his shooting, hell I'm self taught there is nothing wrong with that, the only difference is it takes a lot longer to get to were you should be.

I say we all need luck to get on a roll, maybe Alan can't understand that, but if the conditions are not right, most shooter will fail at winning.

Please name one guy that you know that has tried to do anything like Ahigh, even these so-called experts don't have the equipment he has to show what he is doing, and none of them would ever step in front of a camera without being able to edit what you are seeing first.

If you don't know him or never met him, you just might be surprised when you do met him!

None of us have to agree with anything he is doing, that's our prerogative, but stop the name calling as it serve no useful purpose. You can always self censor what you are reading, just like he is doing with Alan.

I'm trying not to call anyone names [except masked men, maybe]. If the claims someone is making get too absurd, I think there are certain comments that have to be made. And the person on the receiving end can ponder whether he deserves them, it might be good for that person. A guy who winds up in the insane asylum thinking he is Napoleon Bonaparte starts out with some comparatively minor yet surely ridiculous ideas about himself.

Completely agree. The only person I ever blocked was EvenBob, but only so I could see how the block function worked. Since he posts the most, I knew I'd be shown its function quickly. I was shown immediately, and obviously unblocked him immediately as he's one of my many "WoV favorites".

I find those who disagree or challenge my beliefs to be the ones I learn the most from. Like minded individuals can merely parrot their same ideas back and forth to each other, and they just follow down their same paths together. It might be enjoyable, it might be comfortable, but you're not really growing.

Sometimes you need opposition to knock you off your path. It's not always enjoyable, but if you accept it, you might be shown an easier, more pleasurable path. You might even find your destination and be able to leave the path behind. Or just maybe, you learn the opposition's path is definitely worse, and can you now return to your previous path and have more confidence in it. It's a win-win-win, and I don't understand people who cannot accept and entertain opposition.

If see negativty as only negativity, that's all you'll get from it. You might even turn negative yourself. But if you see it as opportunity, you'll grow beyond your wildest dreams.

Let me illustrate how you are wrong:

If I bet $50 that I can roll a 4 or a 10 before a 7, I will get paid $49 half the time with vig on the win anywhere here in Vegas that does the bet that way (Vig on the win for $1). The edge on that bet ($50 bet that I can roll a 4 or a 10 before a seven) is 1.00%. When I hit a four or a ten, I take my 99 and I go. Everybody else doesn't understand how the bet works, not my problem!

I live here in Vegas, and I actually know what I'm talking about!

You're wrong that I had my math wrong. So is Mustang Sally and any other fictitious-named character who agrees with her.

And many others were wrong too.

Remember it how you want, as I know you will, but you are still wrong.

That's just all there is to it.

This bet lasts an average of 36/12 or 3 rolls with an edge per roll of 0.33%. That works out to 1.00% edge.

The math couldn't be SIMPLER. Whiz kid. LOL.

You can dig up anything you want, but the 1.00% edge on a $50 bet that a shooter can roll a 4 or a 10 before a seven will still remain as an absolutely positively viable way to get a 1.00% edge in the game of craps for a 50/50 chance to win.

Dig up whatever you want, and I am certain that ANYBODY who understands what I am saying will tell you that you're wrong.

Go right ahead!

You will just get nowhere because I will still be right, and until you see what I am talking about you will still be wrong.

He sure did not know much if anything about the New Jersey state law regulating the size, shape and conformity of craps dice.

I am an expert in actual balance on actual dice. I am not a lawyer.

Ahigh,

Do you work at the Gambler's General Store in LV?

I know a lot of people that do and I am good friends with them. I have also placed orders for custom dice there and they know about my balance device. I have shown it to the Gloria Cape who manages sales of custom dice from the second building over there. It is absolutely beyond what they do in their production in terms of testing for balance.

They recently have gone through a lot of turmoil after being purchased by Arlington Printing and Playing Card. But no, I don't, nor have I ever, worked there.

The company that makes their dice also makes the Bee brand of dice in the same factory. Those brand of dice are very popular with local casinos.

Just a bid of unsolicited advice for Ahigh:

Your posts are quite polarizing.

Your detractors are vocal, and their number increasing.

Might your agenda (whatever it may be!) be best served by you setting up your own board, one dedicated to "dice influencing?"

How productive can it be for you to respond over and over to your critics here?

Do like most of the other Bone Arrangers do and hang out at a board that bars those who won't drink from the common Kool-Aid vat.

I doubt you'll do that, though, and that's fine.

I agree that Ahigh could go about things a little differently. And I don't agree with the premise of dice influencing or dice control, but I do respect the work Ahigh has put into his belief/passion.

He should not have to go to another forum. He has as much right (or even more since he does put in the work) to his opinion. If he is honest with his numbers and tracking and gets to an amount of total rolls where those that know more about it than me say there is some statistical significance, then I'm willing to listen. He is not the masked man and I beleive he has honest intentions with his work and videos.

There is absolutely NOT a gem of knowledge in every negative comment.

You are wrong.

Sorry, but you are.

In fact, you refusal to admit you are wrong is holding you from being free.

So don't pretend I am the one who is being held back.

You don't have to apologize. I am often wrong and I could be here. I guess we'll see...

Some negative comments are just cries for attention...

Like this?

It's great how the Wizard completely ignores very nearly every single post I make.

It's great how Frank shows up and the Wizard is all of a sudden interested in dice.

It's great how Frank himself hasn't even said one positive comment about what I've done.

It's great how Frank thinks Alan and EvenBob are super duper.

Just great.

All of a sudden I just think everything is great!

Not just great but TRULY great, this website.

Here we have a negative comment and a cry for attention. This is what you you're talking about, right? Just garbage, no value, pure negativity, lacking intellectual value? Now, maybe the average guy just sees a wanker, some grown man acting like a petulant child. But someone who is true of mind can look past the emotion that a post such as this creates and can see a man who feels unappreciated. Without that reaction to your negativity, he is free to ask himself "Why is this Ahigh cat feeling unappreciated?" That man ignores your negativity, checks you out, and would you look at that. Videos and charts and equipment setups and real, live, actual data. Contests, bets made and completed, factual information. Your post, which is the same no-value garbage you say lacks hidden knowledge, could lead to enlightenment. But only if one is of the mind to extract the gem.

I see it all the time, Ahigh. I see it with you. Carry on if you'd like, you're obviously successful enough that you don't need advice from some uneducated, country bumpkin, ex-junkie like me. But know there's opportunity all around you, and you're pissing it away.

Perhaps you have enough opportunities to spare, and for that, I envy you.

He doesn't "have" to go anywhere.

I'm just sayin' that his impressive efforts would more likely be better appreciated by a group of people who all share the same point of view.

Here, he gets hooted and jeered at along with some "attaboys."
